Periodic fever syndromes are autoinflammatory disorders associated with recurrent fevers unrelated to infection. Little is known about the perioperative management of patients with these syndromes, and existing literature consists primarily of case reports and occasional case series. This narrative review discusses background information and diagnostic criteria for the three most common periodic fever syndromes: periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, adenitis (PFAPA), familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), and TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS), and describes perioperative considerations for anesthesia providers when caring for the patient with a periodic fever syndrome. We include a systems-based framework in which to organize these considerations.

Multicenter Study
Impaired oxygenation after lung resection: Incidence and perioperative risk factors.
To estimate the incidence of postoperative oxygenation impairment after lung resection in the era of lung-protective management, and to identify perioperative factors associated with that impairment. ⋯ Impaired postoperative oxygenation is common after lung resection and is associated with potentially modifiable pre- and intraoperative respiratory factors.

Evaluation of the association between intraoperative hypotension (IOH) and important postoperative outcomes after liver transplant such as incidence and severity of acute kidney injury (AKI), MACE and early allograft dysfunction (EAD). ⋯ Our results did not show the association between IOH and investigated outcomes.

Observational Study
Clavipectoral fascia plane block in midshaft clavicle fractures: A cadaveric study.
The objective of this anatomical study was to investigate the distribution of a solution administered using the Clavipectoral Fascia Plane Block (CPB) technique in a series of cadaveric models with midshaft clavicular fractures. The study aimed to address the knowledge gap regarding the impact of clavicular fractures on the distribution pattern of the CPB-administered solution. ⋯ The study reveals that the presence of a midshaft clavicular fracture does not significantly alter the diffusion pattern of the CPB-administered solution, maintaining a consistent distribution in both intact and fractured clavicle models.
