Multicenter Study Observational Study
Maintenance of beta-blockers and cardiac surgery-related outcomes: a prospective propensity-matched multicentre analysis.
We investigated the effects of maintaining beta-blockers on the day of surgery on the incidence of atrial fibrillation and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. ⋯ NCT04769752.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Cardiac index-guided therapy to maintain optimised postinduction cardiac index in high-risk patients having major open abdominal surgery: the multicentre randomised iPEGASUS trial.
It is unclear whether optimising intraoperative cardiac index can reduce postoperative complications. We tested the hypothesis that maintaining optimised postinduction cardiac index during and for the first 8 h after surgery reduces the incidence of a composite outcome of complications within 28 days after surgery compared with routine care in high-risk patients having elective major open abdominal surgery. ⋯ NCT03021525.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Effect of volatile versus propofol anaesthesia on major complications and mortality after cardiac surgery: a multicentre randomised trial.
The comparative effectiveness of volatile anaesthesia and total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) in terms of patient outcomes after cardiac surgery remains a topic of debate. ⋯ Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR-IOR-17013578).
