Obesity – a risk factor for postoperative complications in general surgery?

Elke E.K.M. Tjeertes, Sanne E. Hoeks, Sabine S.B.J.C. Beks et al. · 30 Jul 2015

BACKGROUND: Obesity is generally believed to be a risk factor for the development of postoperative complications. Although being obese is associated with medical hazards, recent literature shows no convincing data to support this assumption. Moreover a paradox between body mass index and survival is described. This study was designed to determine influence of body mass…

Palliative care in intensive care units: why, where, what, who, when, how

Sebastiano Mercadante, Cesare Gregoretti, Andrea Cortegiani · 15 Aug 2018

Palliative care is patient and family-centered care that optimizes quality of life by anticipating, preventing, and treating suffering when "curative" therapies are futile. In the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), critically ill patients receive life-sustaining therapies with the goal of restoring or maintaining organ function. Palliative Care in the ICU is a widely discussed topic and…

Intraoperative burst suppression is associated with postoperative delirium following cardiac surgery: a prospective, observational study

Martin Soehle, Alexander Dittmann, Richard K. Ellerkmann et al. · 27 Apr 2015

BACKGROUND: Postoperative delirium (POD) occurs frequently after cardiac surgery and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We analysed whether perioperative bilateral BIS monitoring may detect abnormalities before the onset of POD in cardiac surgery patients. METHODS: In a prospective observational study, 81 patients undergoing cardiac surgery were included. Bilateral Bispectral Index (BIS)-monitoring was applied…

Endotracheal tube cuff pressure in three hospitals, and the volume required to produce an appropriate cuff pressure

Papiya Sengupta, Daniel I. Sessler, Paul E. Maglinger et al. · 29 Nov 2004

BACKGROUND: Cuff pressure in endotracheal (ET) tubes should be in the range of 20-30 cm H2O. We tested the hypothesis that the tube cuff is inadequately inflated when manometers are not used. METHODS: With IRB approval, we studied 93 patients under general anesthesia with an ET tube in place in one teaching and two private…

Preoperative anxiety and associated factors among adult surgical patients in Debre Markos and Felege Hiwot referral hospitals, Northwest Ethiopia

Henok Mulugeta, Mulatu Ayana, Mezinew Sintayehu Bitew et al. · 30 Oct 2018

BACKGROUND: Anxiety during the preoperative period is the most common problem with a number of postoperative complications such as an increase in postoperative pain, delay of healing and prolong the hospital stay. Further, patients with a high level of preoperative anxiety require higher doses of anesthetic agents and recover poorly. Despite its serious health complications,…
