To describe the differences observed in risk factors for delirium and outcomes between men and women undergoing hip fracture repair surgery. ⋯ Men are at higher risk of postoperative delirium after hip fracture repair than women and have more postoperative surgical complications. Their higher risk of postoperative delirium may be due to their underlying preoperative disease severity.

ReviewIs deep neuromuscular blockade beneficial in laparoscopic surgery? Yes, probably.
Deep neuromuscular blockade during laparoscopic surgery may provide some clinical benefit. We present the 'Pro-' argument in this paired position paper. ⋯ Our interpretation of recent findings is that there is reason to believe that there may be some patient benefit of deep neuromuscular blockade in this context, and more detailed study is needed.

Severe Acute Kidney Injury Following Stage 1 Norwood Palliation: Effect on Outcomes and Risk of Severe Acute Kidney Injury at Subsequent Surgical Stages.
To identify associations of severe acute kidney injury early after stage 1 (Norwood) operation with risk of severe acute kidney injury and comorbidities at subsequent palliative stages in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and other single ventricle lesions with left-sided obstruction. ⋯ Severe acute kidney injury after stage 1 palliation was an independent risk factor for developing severe acute kidney injury at stage 2, and was associated with prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation following stage 3. Information on the incidence and associated risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury in hypoplastic left heart syndrome patients from multiple congenital heart centers is a necessary next step to further understand the long-term burden of severe acute kidney injury after staged palliation.
