Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Reduction of postoperative pain and opioid consumption by VVZ-149, first-in-class analgesic molecule: A confirmatory phase 3 trial of laparoscopic colectomy.
VVZ-149 is a small molecule that inhibits the glycine transporter type 2 and the serotonin receptor 5-hydroxytryptamine 2 A. In this Phase 3 study, we investigated the efficacy and safety of VVZ-149 as a single-use injectable analgesic for treating moderate to severe postoperative pain after laparoscopic colectomy. ⋯ Trial Number NCT05764525.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Ferric carboxymaltose with or without phosphate substitution in iron deficiency or iron deficiency anemia before elective surgery - The DeFICIT trial.
Iron deficiency anemia in the perioperative setting is treated predominantly with intravenous iron formulation, of which ferric carboxymaltose may induce hypophosphatemia by modulating fibroblast growth factor 23. ⋯ Co-administration of oral phosphate supplementation to ferric carboxymaltose cannot prevent hypophosphatemia. However, hypophosphatemia occurs in fewer patients. Phosphate co-administration did not impede the treatment of iron deficiency anemia with ferric carboxymaltose.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
Associations of intraoperative end-tidal CO2 levels with postoperative outcome-secondary analysis of a worldwide observational study.
Patients receiving intraoperative ventilation during general anesthesia often have low end-tidal CO2 (etCO2). We examined the association of intraoperative etCO2 levels with the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in a conveniently-sized international, prospective study named 'Local ASsessment of Ventilatory management during General Anesthesia for Surgery' (LAS VEGAS). ⋯ LAS VEGAS was registered at Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01601223), first posted on May 17, 2012.
