Meta Analysis
Lidocaine lubricants for intubation-related complications: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a relatively common morbidity. Topical lidocaine lubricants have been proposed to prevent POST; however, their effectiveness remains uncertain. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prophylactic effect of lidocaine lubrications against POST, cough, and hoarseness in adult patients after surgery. ⋯ Lidocaine lubricants applied on the tips of endotracheal tube are not effective against the morbidities of POST, PC, and PH.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Intraoperative continuous renal replacement therapy during liver transplantation: a pilot randomized-controlled trial (INCEPTION).
To evaluate the feasibility of intraoperative continuous renal replacement therapy (IoCRRT) during liver transplantation (LT), in terms of recruitment, protocol adherence, and ascertainment of follow-up. ⋯ In this pilot randomized trial, IoCRRT was feasible and safe with no difference in complications. Crossover rates were high. Despite high preoperative severity of illness, one-year survival was excellent. These data can inform the design of a larger multicentre trial.
