Fracture-related infections are a significant burden to the patient, associated with high health care costs and use of resources. Therefore, prevention is more critical than treatment of infection. There are injury- and patient-related risk factors that are mostly not modifiable, with the exception of a few patient-specific ones such as control of blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes.

Intraoperative hyperkalemia is particularly common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We report two cases of intraoperative hyperkalemia occurring under general anesthesia, while potassium levels remained stable with regional anesthesia alone. Case 1 involved a 69-year-old male with CKD who underwent total thyroidectomy under general anesthesia and developed intraoperative hyperkalemia, requiring glucose-insulin (GI) therapy.

Objectives: Perioperative management strategies and outcomes for low-risk congenital heart disease (CHD) surgery vary between institutions. To date, no consensus exists on standardized management for pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery. This study seeks to benchmark the perioperative management of 4 common CHD lesions and explore clinical factors affecting postoperative outcomes.

Objective: This retrospective study aimed to explore the relationship between intraoperative glucose (IG) and the length of hospital stay (LOS) in patients with femoral neck fractures via the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database.

Methods: A generalized additive model was performed to explore the relationship between IG levels and LOS. Restricted cubic spline curves were used to analyze the dose-response relationship between IG levels and prolonged LOS (or 7-day LOS).
