Peer Recovery Support Services (PRSS) have the potential to be an economically valuable intervention. To investigate this potential, we conducted a scoping review to summarize existing research on the economic impact of PRSS. We searched relevant electronic databases for peer-reviewed articles and grey literature between January 2000 and February 2023 that examined an economic outcome related to PRSS. Following a comprehensive search, screening, and full-text evaluation, eight articles were selected for review. The majority of the studies we identified focused on healthcare cost-avoidance. Some studies supported PRSS as a method of avoiding costly medical services, while others had mixed results. Our scoping review revealed limited studies addressing cost savings associated with PRSS and further research on the economic impact of PRSS is warranted.

Objective: The management of preoperative medications is an essential component of perioperative care for the cardiac surgical patient. This turnkey order set is part of a series created by the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Cardiac Society, first presented at the Annual Meeting of The American Association for Thoracic Surgery in 2023. Numerous guidelines and expert consensus documents have been published to provide guidance in preoperative medication management.

Aim: Informal caregivers play a crucial role in supporting individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD) during cardiac rehabilitation (CR), yet their specific educational needs are often overlooked. Understanding these needs is essential for developing targeted interventions that enhance informal caregiver support and improve patient outcomes in CR. This study aimed to explore the educational needs of informal caregivers supporting individuals with CVD attending CR.

Objective: Acute unilateral peripheral vestibulopathy or vestibular neuritis (AUPV/VN) manifests as acute onset vertigo, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and moderate gait instability. It is suspected when vestibular hypofunction is documented on video-head impulse (video-HITs) and caloric tests in the presence of contralesionally beating horizontal-torsional nystagmus. Herein, we report patients presenting with acute vestibular syndrome (AVS) showing selective otolithic dysfunction in the presence of normal caloric and video-HITs and abnormal enhancement of the peripheral vestibular structures on MRI.

Introduction: Onco-anaesthesia is a specialised branch of anaesthesia dedicated to enhancing outcomes, prioritising patient safety and improving the overall care of patients with cancer during surgery. We outline the global epidemiology of cancer, emphasising the necessity for this subspecialty, and discuss the criteria supporting its establishment.
Methods: We performed searches of electronic databases to identify relevant peer-reviewed publications.
