Meta AnalysisEffectiveness of Adaptive Support Ventilation in Facilitating Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation in Postoperative Patients.
This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of adaptive support ventilation (ASV) in facilitating postoperative weaning from mechanical ventilation in cardiac surgery patients. ⋯ ASV appears to facilitate a shorter time to extubation in postoperative cardiac surgery patients compared to conventional ventilation, suggesting benefits in accelerating the weaning process and reducing mechanical ventilation duration.

Comparative Study Observational StudyAssociation Between Individualized Versus Conventional Blood Glucose Thresholds and Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Observational Study.
This study was designed to compare individualized and conventional hyperglycemic thresholds for the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery. ⋯ Individually defined intraoperative hyperglycemia better predicted postcardiac surgery AKI than universally defined hyperglycemia. Intraoperative hyperglycemia was significantly associated with the risk of AKI only for the IHT. Target blood glucose levels in cardiac surgical patients may need to be individualized based on preoperative glycemic status.
