Review Meta AnalysisAcute Kidney Injury (AKI) after cardiac arrest: a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical studies.
The prevalence of and the risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac arrest (CA), and the association of AKI with outcome have not been systematically investigated so far. ⋯ post-arrest AKI has an early onset, occurs in more than 50% of CA patients, and it is associated with increased mortality. Decreased renal function on admission, an initial non-shockable rhythm and both pre-arrest and post-arrest markers of hypoperfusion are associated with increased risk of AKI in this setting.

Observational StudyPreoperative anxiety may increase post-cesarean delivery pain and analgesic consumption.
The aim of this study was to reveal the relationship between high level of prenatal anxiety and postoperative pain and/or analgesic consumption in women undergoing elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. ⋯ State anxiety has a negative effect on postcesarean pain whereas trait anxiety does not seem to produce such effect. The effect seems to be more profound in overweight women. Detection of anxiety level before elective cesarean delivery and therapeutic approach to pregnant women may be useful for postoperative pain control.
