Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Effect of perioperative rehabilitation exercise on postoperative outcomes in patients aged ≥65 years undergoing gastrointestinal surgery: A multicenter randomized controlled trial.
This study aimed to assess the effect of perioperative rehabilitation exercise, initiated shortly after hospital admission, on postoperative outcomes in elderly patients. ⋯ Perioperative rehabilitation exercise has a positive impact on postoperative complications, quality of life and psychological well-being in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, even when implemented after hospital admission.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Gastric insufflation with and without an inserted gastric tube in second-generation laryngeal mask airways: A randomized controlled cross-over trial.
Second-generation laryngeal mask airways are equipped with an additional lumen for a gastric tube, with the intention to reduce the risk of aspiration by draining gastric content. However, the effect of an inserted gastric tube through the gastric channel on gastric insufflation, a substantial part of the pathomechanism of aspiration, during positive-pressure ventilation is not clear. We hypothesized, that an inserted gastric tube increases the risk of gastric insufflation. ⋯ Placement of a gastric tube through the gastric channel of a second-generation laryngeal mask airway, independent of the cuff-type, increases the risk of gastric insufflation. Flow over the gastric channel indicate a higher risk of gastric insufflation and gastric insufflation may increase the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of low-dose norepinephrine combined with goal-directed fluid therapy on postoperative pulmonary complications in lung surgery: A prospective randomized controlled trial.
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), the predominant complications following lung surgery, are closely associated with intraoperative fluid therapy. This study investigates whether continuous low-dose norepinephrine infusion combined with goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) reduced the risk of PPCs after lung surgery relative to either GDFT alone or standard fluid treatment. ⋯ ChiCTR2200064081.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Recovery quality of transversus abdominis plane block with liposomal bupivacaine after cesarean delivery: A randomized trial.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of liposomal bupivacaine in transversus abdominis plane block (TAP) on recovery quality after cesarean delivery. ⋯ TAP block using either liposomal bupivacaine or a mixture of plain bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine provided superior quality of recovery at 24 h after cesarean delivery compared to using plain bupivacaine alone.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Continuous vital sign monitoring on surgical wards: The COSMOS pilot.
Alerts for vital sign abnormalities seek to identify meaningful patient instability while limiting alarm fatigue. Optimal vital sign alarm settings for postoperative patients remain unknown, as is whether alerts lead to effective clinical responses reducing vital sign disturbances. We conducted a 2-phase pilot study to identify thresholds and delays and test the hypothesis that alerts from continuous monitoring reduce the duration of vital sign abnormalities. ⋯ gov registration: NCT05280574.
