Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Association of mechanical energy and power with postoperative pulmonary complications in lung resection surgery: A post hoc analysis of randomized clinical trial data.
Mechanical power (MP), the rate of mechanical energy (ME) delivery, is a recently introduced unifying ventilator parameter consisting of tidal volume, airway pressures, and respiratory rates, which predicts pulmonary complications in several clinical contexts. However, ME has not been previously studied in the perioperative context, and neither parameter has been studied in the context of thoracic surgery utilizing one-lung ventilation. ⋯ ME and, in cases requiring longer periods of mechanical ventilation, MP were independently associated with postoperative pulmonary complications in thoracic surgery.

Multicenter StudyCardiac Surgery-Associated Acute Kidney Injury in Neonates Undergoing the Norwood Operation: Retrospective Analysis of the Multicenter Neonatal and Pediatric Heart and Renal Outcomes Network Dataset, 2015-2018.
Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) is associated with adverse outcomes. Single-center studies suggest that the prevalence of CS-AKI is high after the Norwood procedure, or stage 1 palliation (S1P), but multicenter data are lacking. ⋯ KDIGO-defined CS-AKI occurred frequently and early postoperatively in this 2015-2018 multicenter PC 4 /NEPHRON cohort of neonates after S1P. We failed to identify associations between resource utilization and CS-AKI, but there was an association between severe CS-AKI and greater odds of mortality in this high-risk cohort. Improving the precision for defining clinically relevant neonatal CS-AKI remains a priority.

Multicenter Study Observational StudyShort anesthesia without intravenous fluid therapy in children: Results of a prospective non-interventional multicenter observational study.
The German guidelines recommend that intravenous fluid therapy should not be mandatorily performed in children with short fasting times undergoing short anesthesia, but there is a lack of clinical studies including a large number of pediatric patients. Therefore, we performed a prospective non-interventional multicenter observational study to evaluate the perioperative hemodynamic and metabolic stability of children undergoing short anesthesia without intravenous fluid therapy. ⋯ Our study supported the German guidelines recommendation that perioperative intravenous fluid therapy is not mandatory in children beyond the neonatal period with short pre- and postoperative fasting times undergoing short anesthesia (<1 h).

Multicenter StudyImproving the performance of the Cleveland Clinic Score for predicting acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery: a prospective multicenter cohort study.
Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is associated with high short- and long-term mortality rates. The prediction of CSA-AKI is crucial for early detection and treatment. Current predictive models may be improved by potentially useful preoperative and intraoperative information. ⋯ The addition of baseline hemoglobin, eGFR, HbA
1c , and nadir intraoperative hemoglobin may be useful for improving the discrimination of the clinical predictive risk scores for AKI.
