The Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) predicts mortality better than American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA-PS) and National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Surgical Risk-Calculator (NSQIP-SRC) and is not improved by adding either ASA-PS or NSQIP-SRC, but NSQIP-SRC was the most accurate predictor of LOS and number of complications.

👍 Although TRISS had superior mortality predictive ability, NSQIP-SRC performed better in predicting other outcomes, suggesting there is a role for incorporating measures of comorbidities in trauma outcome prediction models.

Patients with anatomically difficult airways had lower first-attempt success in the emergency department, while those with physiologically difficult airways did not; however, patients meeting the definition of either or both difficult airway types had lower first-attempt success without adverse events.

In a cohort of 1004 patients, extravasation of norepinephrine occurred in 2.3% of patients receiving peripheral norepinephrine (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4%–3.2%). No cases of tissue necrosis or severe hypertension were detected. All adverse events had dissipated spontaneously within 48 hours. Proximal catheter placement was associated with more adverse events.

In this meta-analysis, existing literature supports the ability of carotid ultrasound to predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated adults.

The ED90 of bupivacaine was estimated at 29.30 mg (90% confidence interval [CI], 28.55–31.56) with a DPE technique and 45.25 mg (90% CI, 42.80–52.03) with an Epidural technique.

The ED90 of bupivacaine was estimated at 29.30 mg (90% confidence interval [CI], 28.55–31.56) with a DPE technique and 45.25 mg (90% CI, 42.80–52.03) with an epidural technique.



https://buff.ly/4ce6Fzb

💉 The DPE technique requires less bupivacaine to achieve effective initial analgesia (ED90) when compared to the Epidural.

Check out the editorial "Heartfelt Healing: Charting New Trajectories in Postsurgical Pain "

https://buff.ly/4edcQVT

All patients should be screened for risk factors for chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) and receive standardized analgesic therapy with enhanced recovery protocols. Patients reporting moderate postoperative pain on postoperative day 2 after cardiac surgery are at highest risk of CPSP, and should receive more intensive in-hospital pain management as well as postdischarge follow-up with a transitional pain service.

In this prospective cohort study, age and emotional distress in response to bodily sensations were consistently associated with pain intensity trajectories and/or daily mg morphine equivalent trajectories in the days after surgery; trajectories of acute pain intensity, but not opioid consumption, were associated with pain status at 1 year.
