AI Article Synopsis
- The guidelines for preventing and managing perioperative infection in China have been updated to address global antimicrobial resistance issues and improve infection control practices in hospitals.
- A comprehensive evaluation was conducted using the GRADE system, involving feedback from experts via the Delphi method, leading to 37 recommendations based on 17 key questions.
- The revised guidelines aim to enhance the rational use of antimicrobial prophylaxis, improving outcomes related to the risk-benefit balance for patients undergoing surgery.
Article Abstract
Background: We have updated the guideline for preventing and managing perioperative infection in China, given the global issues with antimicrobial resistance and the need to optimize antimicrobial usage and improve hospital infection control levels.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the evidence for prevention and management of perioperative infection, based on the concepts of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. The strength of recommendations was graded and voted using the Delphi method and the nominal group technique. Revisions were made to the guidelines in response to feedback from the experts.
Results: There were 17 questions prepared, for which 37 recommendations were made. According to the GRADE system, we evaluated the body of evidence for each clinical question. Based on the meta-analysis results, recommendations were graded using the Delphi method to generate useful information.
Conclusions: This guideline provides evidence to perioperative antimicrobial prophylaxis that increased the rational use of prophylactic antimicrobial use, with substantial improvement in the risk-benefit trade-off.

Objective: To characterize the perioperative complications after ablative and reconstructive surgery in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) based on race.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of the 2015-2020 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Database. We compared the perioperative outcomes between White, Asian, Black, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and American Indian or Alaskan Native patients with bivariate analysis.

Introduction: Lung injury, a common complication of sepsis, arises from elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell death driven by inflammation. In this study, a novel class of ultrasmall nanoparticles (CuO USNPs) was developed to address sepsis-induced lung injury (SILI).
Methods: The synthesized nanoparticles were thoroughly characterized to assess their properties.

Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is notably prevalent after cardiac surgery for patients with active infective endocarditis. This study aims to create a machine learning model to predict AKI in this high-risk group, improving upon existing models by focusing specifically on endocarditis-related surgeries.
Methods: We analyzed medical records from 527 patients who underwent cardiac surgery for active infective endocarditis from January 2012 to December 2023.
Time-dependent variation in immunoparalysis biomarkers among patients with sepsis and critical illness.

December 2024
Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, Penn State Medical Center, Hershey, PA, United States.
Introduction: Immunoparalysis is a state of immune dysfunction characterized by a marked reduction in the immune system's responsiveness, often observed following severe infections, trauma, or critical illness. This study aimed to perform a longitudinal assessment of immune function over the initial two weeks following the onset of sepsis and critical illness.
Methods: We compared ex vivo-stimulated cytokine release from whole blood of critically ill patients to traditional markers of immunoparalysis, including monocyte Human Leukocyte Antigen (mHLA)-DR expression and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC).

Article Synopsis
- Tracheostomy tubes increase the risk of respiratory infections, and initial treatment often involves nebulized tobramycin, but there’s a lack of standardized treatment guidelines.
- A study used a breathing simulator to test how much tobramycin reaches simulated children with tracheostomies, comparing delivery methods and doses for different child weights.
- Results showed that jet nebulizers delivered significantly more tobramycin than vibrating mesh nebulizers, highlighting the need for better dosing strategies and further research on drug delivery efficiency and higher dosages for this patient group.
