Background: Cardiovascular surgery is usually associated with higher degree of postoperative pain that influences a patient's physical recovery. Multiple clinical measures have been taken to avoid overuse of opioid agents for postoperative pain management, which led to the development of clinical pathways for analgesic drug treatment using a multimodal approach.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a multimodal postoperative analgesic drug pathway (ADP) for pain management following cardiovascular surgery.
Methods: This retrospective, controlled, nonrandomized study evaluated a postoperative ADP in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery in a tertiary general hospital in Qingdao, China. Effectiveness and safety outcomes were compared before and after the implementation of the ADP. Outcome indicators included postoperative pain scores, consumption of opioids in analgesic pumps, and incidence of adverse events.
Results: Patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery from September to November 2021 before the implementation of the ADP (n = 193) and from September to November 2022 after the implementation of the ADP (n = 218) were enrolled. Pain scores were reduced on day 1, 3, and 5 after surgery and the reduction was most significant in mild pain ( < .001). Opioids in analgesic pumps consumption was also significantly reduced and there was decreased incidence of adverse events such as nausea and vomiting ( = .026), respiratory inhibition ( = .027), and dizziness and headache ( = .028) in cardiovascular surgery patients after implementation of the ADP.
Conclusions: Improved effectiveness and safety were observed following the implementation of the ADP. Multimodal analgesic ADP methodology can be effectively used for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery.

Background: Stress hyperglycaemia ratio (SHR) has been reported to be independently and significantly associated with various adverse cardiovascular events as well as mortality. Moreover, in-hospital heart failure following acute myocardial infarction has been demonstrated to account for majority of all heart failure (HF) cases with anterior myocardial infarction showing higher rates of HF. However, the association between SHR and in-hospital HF following an anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not been reported earlier.

Rationale And Objectives: To evaluate and compare image quality of different energy levels of virtual monochromatic images (VMIs) using standard versus strong deep learning spectral reconstruction (DLSR) on dual-energy CT pulmonary angiogram (DECT-PA).
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 70 patients who underwent DECT-PA (15 PE present; 55 PE absent) scans. VMIs were reconstructed at different energy levels ranging from 35 to 200 keV using standard and strong levels with deep learning spectral reconstruction.
