Randomized Controlled Trial
Overtime work of anesthesiologists is associated with increased delirium in older patients admitted to intensive care unit after noncardiac surgery: a secondary analysis.
Overtime work is common in anesthesiologists due to shortage of manpower. Herein, we analyzed if overtime work of anesthesiologists was associated with delirium development in older patients after surgery. ⋯ Overtime work of anesthesiologists was associated with an increased risk of delirium development in older patients admitted to ICU after major noncardiac surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Lung-protective ventilation and postoperative pulmonary complications during pulmonary resection in children: A prospective, single-centre, randomised controlled trial.
Children are more susceptible to postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) due to their smaller functional residual capacity and higher closing volume; however, lung-protective ventilation (LPV) in children requiring one-lung ventilation (OLV) has been relatively underexplored. ⋯ LPV did not decrease the occurrence of PPCs compared to non-protective ventilation. Although lung compliance and oxygenation were higher in the driving pressure group than in the 5 cmH 2 O PEEP group, these benefits did not translate into significant reductions in PPCs. However, the study is limited by a small sample size, which may affect the interpretation of the results. Future research with larger sample sizes is necessary to confirm these findings.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of inspiratory oxygen fraction during driving pressure-guided ventilation strategy on pulmonary complications following open abdominal surgery: A randomized controlled trial.
The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of 30 % fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) compared with 80 % FIO2 in the context of driving pressure-guided ventilation strategy on pulmonary complications following open abdominal surgery. ⋯ In patients undergoing open abdominal surgery, using a 30 % FIO2, compared with 80 % FIO2, in context of driving pressure-guided ventilation strategy, intraoperatively reduced the incidence and severity of pulmonary complications within the first 7 postoperative days.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Effect of perioperative rehabilitation exercise on postoperative outcomes in patients aged ≥65 years undergoing gastrointestinal surgery: A multicenter randomized controlled trial.
This study aimed to assess the effect of perioperative rehabilitation exercise, initiated shortly after hospital admission, on postoperative outcomes in elderly patients. ⋯ Perioperative rehabilitation exercise has a positive impact on postoperative complications, quality of life and psychological well-being in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, even when implemented after hospital admission.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Hemodynamic changes in the prone position according to fluid loading after anaesthesia induction in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery: a randomized, assessor-blind, prospective study.
A change from the supine to prone position causes hemodynamic alterations. We aimed to evaluate the effect of fluid preloading in the supine position, the subsequent hemodynamic changes in the prone position and postoperative outcomes. ⋯ Fluid loading after inducing general anaesthesia could reduce the occurrence of hypotension until surgical incision in patients scheduled for surgery in the prone position. Additionally, hypotension could be predicted in patients with a baseline PVi >16. Therefore, intravenous fluid loading is strongly recommended in patients with high baseline PVi to prevent hypotension after anaesthesia induction and in the prone position.
