Observational Study
Incidence, outcome, and risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications in head and neck cancer surgery patients with free flap reconstructions.
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are significant problems in patients undergoing radical head and neck cancer surgery with free flap reconstruction. The objective of the study was to identify the incidence, outcome, and risk factors for PPCs We hypothesized that preoperative pulmonary disease and amount of fluid administered during the surgery would be associated with PPCs. ⋯ The incidence of PPCs in patients undergoing radical head and neck surgery was 32.7% in 110 patients. Preoperative pulmonary disease or the amount of fluid administered during the surgery was not associated with PPCs.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of neostigmine and sugammadex for hemodynamic parameters in cardiac patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
The aim of this study is to compare the hemodynamic effects of neostigmine-atropine combination and sugammadex in patients with cardiac problems undergoing noncardiac surgery. ⋯ We suggest that sugammadex might be preferred as it provides more hemodynamic stability compared to neostigmine-atropine combination to reverse rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockage in cardiac patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
