To investigate the association between workload and pregnancy outcomes among US surgical faculty and trainees. ⋯ Most surgeons do not modify their workload during pregnancy, potentially contributing to feeling overworked and peri-partum complications. There is an urgent need for a cultural shift and institutional policies to safeguard the health and wellbeing of pregnant surgeons.

Central Arterial Line Placement for Pediatric Cardiac Surgery: A Single-Center Experience.
Peripheral arterial line placement is a common, low-risk procedure in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Central arterial cannulation may be used when peripheral cannulation is not feasible. At present, there are limited data to guide central arterial-line site selection in pediatric patients. We aimed to (1) quantify the rate of complications associated with central arterial-line placement in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery, (2) determine risk factors associated with central arterial-line complications, and (3) describe placement trends during the last decade. ⋯ Axillary arterial access is associated with a lower rate of complications in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery as compared to femoral arterial access. Serious complications are rare and were limited to femoral arterial lines in this study.

Surgical Video Projection onto a Mannequin: An Educational Tool for Simulation Practice of Perioperative Anesthetic Management.
Simulation practice is known to be effective in anesthesiology education. In our simulation practice of general anesthesia for open cholecystectomy at the Tohoku University simulation center, we projected a surgical video onto a mannequin's abdomen. In this observational study, we investigated whether video-linked simulation practice improved students' performance. ⋯ The amount of bleeding that caused initial action was significantly lower in the video group (200 mL [200-300]) than in the conventional group (400 mL [200-500]) (p = 0.00056). Simulation practice with surgical video projection improved student performance. By projecting surgical videos, students could practice in a more realistic environment similar to an actual case.
