Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEffects of Balanced Versus Saline-based Solutions on Acute Kidney Injury in Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
To determine whether balanced solutions can reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury after off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery compared with saline. ⋯ In patients undergoing off-pump bypass surgery with a normal estimated glomerular filtration rate, the intraoperative balanced solution-based chloride-restrictive intravenous fluid administration strategy did not decrease the rate of postoperative acute kidney injury compared with the saline-based chloride-liberal intravenous fluid administration strategy.

Comparative StudyEarly Postoperative Complications of Robotic-assisted Versus Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery: A Propensity Score-matched Analysis.
The current work was designed to evaluate whether robotic-assisted mitral valve surgery is associated with a different incidence of early postoperative complications compared with the traditional minimally invasive approach. ⋯ This study identified a similar incidence of early complications in robotic-assisted mitral valve surgery compared with minimally invasive mitral valve surgery; conversely, patients receiving robotic-assisted surgery were discharged earlier, and more frequently discharged home.

Impaired oxygenation after lung resection: Incidence and perioperative risk factors.
To estimate the incidence of postoperative oxygenation impairment after lung resection in the era of lung-protective management, and to identify perioperative factors associated with that impairment. ⋯ Impaired postoperative oxygenation is common after lung resection and is associated with potentially modifiable pre- and intraoperative respiratory factors.

Numerous models have been developed to predict acute kidney injury (AKI) after noncardiac surgery, yet there is a lack of independent validation and comparison among them. ⋯ We identified three models with fair discrimination and potential clinical utility after recalibration for assessing the risk of acute kidney injury after noncardiac surgery.

This study aimed to evaluate the association of surgeon self-reported gender on clinical outcomes in contemporary US surgical practice. ⋯ In the largest analysis to date, surgeon self-reported gender had a small statistical, clinically marginal correlation with postoperative outcomes. The variation across surgical specialties and procedures suggests that the association with surgeon gender is unlikely causal for the observed differences in outcomes. Patients should be reassured that surgeon gender alone does not have a clinically meaningful impact on their outcome.
