The relationship between resited epidural catheters after secondary epidural catheter failure and vaginal delivery: A retrospective case-control study.
There are cases where epidural analgesia is initially effective but subsequently fails and needs to be resited. We evaluated the rate of normal vaginal delivery and operative delivery among parturients who had resited epidurals compared to parturients with epidurals that were not resited. ⋯ Need for labor epidural catheter replacement does not appear to be associated with need for operative delivery based on this single-centre cohort analysis.

Observational StudyAssociations between mean systemic filling pressure and acute kidney injury: an observational cohort study following cardiac surgery.
Venous congestion has been implied in cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). The mean systemic filling pressure may provide a physiologically more accurate estimate of renal venous pressure and renal perfusion pressure but its association with CSA-AKI has not been reported. ⋯ The Pmsa in post-operative cardiac surgery patients was associated with the development of CSA-AKI also when incorporated into estimates of renal perfusion pressure.
