The aim of this study was to predict early delirium after microvascular decompression using machine learning. ⋯ Machine learning algorithms predict the occurrence of delirium after microvascular decompression with an accuracy rate of 96.7%. And the major risk factors for the development of post-cardiac delirium are carbamazepine, hgb, and BUN.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
The incidence of intraoperative hypotension in moderate to high risk patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery: A retrospective multicenter observational analysis.
Intraoperative hypotension is associated with perioperative morbidity. We undertook this project to describe the incidence of hypotension (defined as mean arterial pressure <65 mmHg). ⋯ There continues to be a significant burden of hypotension (defined as MAP <65 mmHg) across our multicenter cohort of hospitals.

To assess the effect of a rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM)-enhanced transfusion algorithm with hemostatic agents on allogenic blood transfusion in patients undergoing frozen elephant trunk (FET) surgery. ⋯ A ROTEM-enhanced transfusion strategy halved intraoperative transfusion in the setting of FET. Further studies are needed to confirm the magnitude of our findings on clinically relevant endpoints.
