The IMOTEC study aims to determine whether a point-of-care viscoelastic hemostatic assay (VHA)-guided algorithm is cost-effective for the management of ongoing bleeding.

The Sacubitril-Valsartan combination (SVC) has been gaining an important role in the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. We aimed to evaluate the immediate postoperative hemodynamic profile of patients usually treated with the SVC and undergoing elective cardiac surgery.

Benzodiazepines facilitate mask ventilation due to their airway relaxant properties. Remimazolam, an ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine, may offer advantages during anaesthesia induction. This study evaluated the difficulty of mask ventilation between remimazolam and propofol during the induction of general anaesthesia.

The French Society of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care (SFAR) and the French Society of Clinical Pharmacy (SFPC) have joined forces to propose recommendations for professional practice in the prevention of medication errors in anaesthesia and intensive care DESIGN: A group of 19 French experts from the French Society of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care (SFAR) and the French Society of Clinical Pharmacy (SFPC) was assembled. Potential conflicts of interest were formally declared at the outset of the recommendations development process, which was conducted independently of any industry funding. The authors followed the GRADE→ (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) methodology to assess the level of evidence in the literature.

Proximal femur fractures (PFF) are common in the elderly, representing a significant public health issue. This study aims to define the epidemiology and morbidity of PFF and identify factors associated with 90-day mortality in patients with osteoporotic PFF.

Despite the available evidence for the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as the preferred therapeutic option for managing postoperative pain after tonsillectomy in children, many physicians still use postoperative corticosteroids as a therapeutic option in place of NSAIDS. The aim of the current meta-analysis was to explore the analgesic efficacy of oral prednisolone after tonsillectomy in children.

Correction of preoperative iron deficiency (with or without anemia) is widely recommended but data on oral iron therapy in this setting are limited. This study evaluated the impact of preoperative oral iron supplementation on postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing major surgery.

Effective postoperative pain control is essential for recovery. Pain has long been considered the "fifth vital sign" in the United States, making its assessment routinely documented. However, data on pain and opioid consumption following robotic-assisted surgeries remain limited despite their widespread adoption. This study evaluated pain scores and opioid consumption in patients undergoing intermediate-risk robotic-assisted abdominal, urological, or gynecological procedures. We hypothesized that pain would be minimal (numerical rating scale (NRS < 4)) and opioid use low (< 5 morphine milligram equivalents (MME) within 24 h post-surgery).

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) in reducing red blood cell transfusion (RBCT) in patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) undergoing microsurgical clipping of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs).
