A 80-year-old female patient with symptomatic atrial tachycardia develops cold sweat and hypotension in the recovery room after pulmonary vein isolation. The procedure included an anterior line and an endo- and epicardial mitral isthmus line. Echocardiography excluded a hemodynamically relevant pericardial effusion. The patient's symptoms deteriorated over time. A rare cause was found.

Evaluation of hypotension prediction index software in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation: retrospective observational study.
Braz J Anesthesiol

Background: Extreme hemodynamic changes, especially intraoperative hypotension (IOH), are common and often prolonged during Liver Transplant (LT) surgery and during initial hours of recovery. Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) software is one of the tools which can help in proactive hemodynamic management. The accuracy of the advanced hemodynamic parameters such as Cardiac Output (CO) and Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR) obtained from HPI software and prediction performance of the HPI in LT surgery remains unknown.

Background: There are established and well-followed guidelines for pediatric oncology patients who have neutropenic fever. However, there are no explicit criteria for this patient group, and over 50% of pediatric oncology patients with fever do not present with neutropenia.
Objective: In this scoping review, we have explored the outcomes of non-neutropenic fever in pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients with cancer-directed treatment.
Fatal Delayed Cardiac Tamponade Following Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Case Report.

Internal Medicine, Hurley Medical Center, Flint, USA.
Catheter ablation procedure for symptomatic atrial fibrillation is an established treatment. Cardiac tamponade is one of the several complications associated with atrial fibrillation ablation. We present the case of a 60-year-old male with a past medical history of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis, hypotension on midodrine, atrial fibrillation status post-ablation a week prior, and a cerebrovascular accident who presented to the emergency department with complaints of weakness, nausea, vomiting, confusion and some syncopal episodes for the past few days.

Article Synopsis
- Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but severe complication during childbirth that can lead to rapid failure of multiple organ systems and significant maternal mortality.
- A case study involving a 31-year-old woman induced for labor revealed AFE's unpredictability, as she developed sudden fetal distress and hypoxia, leading to an emergency cesarean delivery.
- Despite the high mortality associated with AFE, both the mother and the infant survived and were doing well six months later, highlighting the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment options like the "A-OK" protocol.

Introduction: Refractory malignant ascites (RMA) is a manifestation of end-stage cancer disease with a major impact on quality of life due to the symptom burden and need for repeated hospitalisations. We previously described the implantation of the permanent PleurX catheter as a treatment of RMA. The present study aimed to evaluate and describe our experience with the permanent PleurX catheter system in the largest cohort to date.
