Low blood pressure, also known as hypotension, is very common during major surgery under general anesthesia. Prolonged or severe hypotension can lead to complications such as kidney injury after surgery that slow down patient recovery. Anesthesiologists commonly administer medications called vasopressors to treat low blood pressure during surgery. These medications …
This study aims to investigate the impact of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) on the incidence of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) and explore the potential underlying mechanisms. A bidirectional cohort study will be conducted, enrolling patients scheduled for major hepato-biliary surgery. Clinical data, perioperative parameters, and postoperative follow-up data …
Myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) refers to postoperative elevation of cardiac troponin (cTn) levels caused by underlying ischemic mechanisms (i.e., coronary artery supply-demand imbalance or atherosclerotic thrombosis) without obvious non-ischemic causes (such as pulmonary embolism), with at least one cTn concentration exceeding the 99th percentile of the test reference …
The perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis is evidence-based in orthopedic surgery. While its duration ranges from a single dose to three doses throughout the world, the choice of the prophylactic agents is undisputed. Worldwide, the surgeons use 1st or 2nd-generation cephalosporins (or vancomycin in some cases). However, there are particular clinical situation …
PENGUIN is a pragmatic multi-center trial investigating the effects of pre-operative mouthwash and perioperative oxygen on the incidences of pneumonia and surgical site infection (SSI) following major abdominal surgery. Patients will be recruited from low and middle income countries and randomly assigned to a trial treatment arms: a) pre-operative chlorhexidine …
Early prediction of acute kidney injury (AKI) may provide a crucial opportunity for AKI prevention. To date, no prediction model targeting AKI among general hospitalized patients in developing countries has been published. We developed a simple, real-time, interpretable AKI prediction model for general hospitalized patients from a large tertiary hospital …
This topic will focus on the following questions: Part one: To clarify the relationship between preoperative frailty and myocardial injury (cTnT ≥0.03) after non-cardiac surgery in elderly patients; To further explore the predictive factors of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) in elderly frail patients before operation. Part Two: To …
This is an international, multicenter, observational study aimed at investigating acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT) in Latin American countries. The main questions this study aims to answer are: What is the epidemiology, outcomes, and processes of care for patients with AKI-RRT in Latin America? How do outcomes …
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of vadadustat for treating hospitalized patients with nonintubated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) secondary to pathogen-associated lung injury.
In the pediatric field, especially in newborns, the appearance of pressure ulcers is a very frequent event, with prolonged hospitalization, increased costs and worsening of the newborn's clinical picture National data on the prevalence and incidence of pressure ulcers (LP) are not easily available, especially if referred to pediatric and …
