Institute of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Triemli City Hospital, Zurich, Switzerland
Article Synopsis
- The Sonoclot device measures activated clotting time and coagulation status, with a new version (S2) released to replace the previous one (S1).
- A study involving 30 elective cardiac surgery patients compared the performance of S1 and S2 through various blood sampling points, using Bland-Altman analysis for accuracy.
- Results indicated that the S2 device reported faster clotting times, with significant percentage differences in results, which may require adjustments in heparin management practices to avoid incorrect dosing.

Septic shock is a serious medical condition. With increased concerns about invasive techniques, a number of non-invasive and semi-invasive devices measuring cardiac output (CO) have become commercially available. The aim of the present study was to determine the accuracy, precision and trending abilities of the FloTrac and the continuous pulmonary artery catheter thermodilution technique determining CO in septic shock patients.

Institute of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Triemli City Hospital Zurich, Birmensdorferstrasse 497, 8063 Zurich, Switzerland.
Background: The benefit of the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU) with respect to an early detection of postoperative complications is beyond dispute. From a patient perspective, prevention and optimal management of pain, nausea and vomiting (PONV) are also of utmost importance. The aims of the study were therefore to prospectively measure pain and PONV on arrival to the PACU and before discharge and to determine the relationship of pain and PONV to the length of stay in the PACU.

Background: Cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) is a treatment option for selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. There are limited data available on anaesthesia management and its impact on patients' outcome. Our aim was to retrospectively analyze and evaluate perioperative management and the clinical course of patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC within a three-year period.
