Laparoscopic procedures with CO2-pneumoperitoneum are used widely in gynaecology and surgery. The effects of a 15 degrees head-down position, different intra-abdominal pressures (IAP) and CO2-insufflation flows on cardiorespiratory parameters were studied prospectively in 18 gyneacologic patients under general anaesthesia. The 15 degrees head-down position led to significant changes in heart rate (-6%) and in central venous pressure (+53%). Furthermore, significant changes under commonly used conditions for gynaecological laparoscopy (IAP 9mmHg, CO2-insufflation flow 2.41/ min., 15 degrees head-down position) were found in heart rate (+16%), systolic blood pressure (+21%), diastolic blood pressure (+26%), central venous pressure (+57%), peak inspiratory pressure (+26%), end-tidal CO2-concentration (+19%), central venous pCO2 (+21%), and central venous pH (-7%). On examination of variable pressure and insufflation flows (IAP 3, 9, and 15mmHg; CO2-insufflation flows 1.2, 2.4, and 6.0 1/min.), increasing changes in heart rate (7% - 24%), diastolic blood pressure (22% - 33%), central venous pressure (30% - 59%) and peak inspiratory pressure (10% - 43%) correlated with increasing IAP. However, they were independent of CO2-insufflation flows. The results demonstrate that CO2-pneumoperitoneum causes marked changes in cardiorespiratory parameters, but these do not exceed levels commonly regarded as safe in ASA class I and II patients.

Background: With advancements in minimally invasive thoracic surgery techniques, such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and robotic surgery, the design of vascular staplers has evolved to meet the requirements of these procedures. Consequently, newer generations of automatic staplers with improved handling and reduced size have been introduced, such as two-row staplers, which are more maneuverable and less bulky than their three-row counterparts.

Hematology patients require central venous catheters for cancer treatment and nutrition, which increases their risk of intravascular device-associated bacteremia. In the absence of recent data, we investigated intravascular device-associated bacteremia in this specific context. A three-month surveillance was conducted annually in 27 hematology wards, using a protocol derived from the HAI-Net ICU ECDC protocol (2020-2024).

The formula-based estimation of the right internal jugular venous (IJV) catheterization depth can be inaccurate when using ultrasound guidance. External landmark-based and radiological landmark-based methods have been proposed as alternatives to estimate the insertion depth. This study aimed to evaluate these methods using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)-guided insertion depth as the reference.

Topic Importance: Accurate assessment of a patient's volume status is crucial in many conditions, informing decisions on fluid prescribing, vasoactive agents, and decongestive therapies. Determining a patient's volume status is challenging, due to limitations in examination and investigations and the complexities of fluid homeostasis in disease states. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is useful in assessing hemodynamic parameters related to volume status, fluid responsiveness, and fluid tolerance.

Background: Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremity causes a major disease burden globally. Currently, oral anticoagulant therapy is used as the first-line treatment of DVT, however, medication non-adherence remains a serious problem for postoperative spinal surgery patients whose DVT incidence is at a high level.
Aims: To explore barriers and facilitators affecting patient oral anticoagulant medication adherence, based on guidance using the COM-B model.
