Multicenter Study Observational Study
Perioperative anaesthetic management and short-term outcome of neonatal repair of oesophageal atresia with or without tracheoesophageal fistula in Europe: A sub-analysis of the neonate and children audit of anaesthesia practice in Europe (NECTARINE) prospective multicenter observational study.
Oesophageal atresia with or without a tracheo-oesophageal fistula is a congenital abnormality that usually requires surgical repair within the first days of life. ⋯ Oesophageal atresia with or without a tracheo-oesophageal fistula repair in neonates is associated with a high number of perioperative interventions in response to clinical events, a high incidence of postoperative complications, and a substantial mortality rate.

ReviewThe future of postoperative vital sign monitoring in general wards: improving patient safety through continuous artificial intelligence-enabled alert formation and reduction.
Monitoring of vital signs at the general ward with continuous assessments aided by artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being explored in the clinical setting. This review aims to describe current evidence for continuous vital sign monitoring (CVSM) with AI-based alerts - from sensor technology, through alert reduction, impact on complications, and to user-experience during implementation. ⋯ The current evidence for AI-aided CSVM suggest a significant role for the technology in reducing the constant 10-30% in-hospital risk of severe postoperative complications. However, large, randomized trials documenting the benefit for patient improvements are still sparse. And the clinical uptake of explainable AI to improve implementation needs investigation.

Multicenter Study Observational StudyEpidemiology of surgery associated acute kidney injury (EPIS-AKI): a prospective international observational multi-center clinical study.
The incidence, patient features, risk factors and outcomes of surgery-associated postoperative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI) across different countries and health care systems is unclear. ⋯ In a comprehensive multinational study, approximately one in five patients develop PO-AKI after major surgery. Increasing severity of PO-AKI is associated with a progressive increase in adverse outcomes. Our findings indicate that PO-AKI represents a significant burden for health care worldwide.

The postoperative analgesia of retrolaminar block in patients undergoing surgery with general anesthesia: a systematic review.
Postoperative pain has always been a difficult problem in anesthesia management. The neurological block technique has been used for postoperative analgesia management, but compared with the traditional block method, the effect of postoperative analgesia after layer block is still controversial, and a clear literature review is needed. This systematic review's goal was to investigate RLB's impact on postoperative analgesia. ⋯ Based on the results of this review, RLB can be applied to thoracic surgery, abdominal surgery and parotid surgery, but its analgesic effect is not significant enough, and further research is needed in the future to provide stronger evidence for postoperative analgesia in surgical patients.

Ultrasound-guided external oblique and rectus abdominis plane "EXORA" block for postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a propensity-matched study.
Various types of plane blocks are used for analgesia in the upper abdomen. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the external oblique and rectus abdominis plane (EXORA) block for antero-lateral upper abdominal analgesia. ⋯ The EXORA block used to provide analgesia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy provides analgesia to the upper abdominal wall. Further data may be obtained from cadaveric studies and other studies.
