The lactate-to-albumin ratio (LAR) has been confirmed to be an effective prognostic marker in sepsis, heart failure, and acute respiratory failure. However, the relationship between LAR and mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains unclear. We aim to evaluate the predictive value of LAR for ARDS patients. ⋯ We confirmed that there was a positive correlation between LAR and 28-day mortality. This could provide anesthesiologists and critical care physicians with a more convenient tool than SAPSII without being superior for detecting ARDS patients with poor prognosis timely.

Observational Study
Impact of emergence delirium on long-term survival in older patients after major noncardiac surgery: A longitudinal prospective observational study.
To test the hypothesis that emergence delirium might be associated with worse long-term survival. ⋯ www.chictr.org.cn; ChiCTR-OOC-17012734.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Impact of deep neuromuscular blockade on intraoperative NOL-guided remifentanil requirement during desflurane anesthesia in laparoscopic colorectal surgeries: A randomised controlled trial.
Evaluate the impact of deep neuromuscular blockade on intraoperative nociception Deep neuromuscular blockade has been shown to improve surgical conditions and postoperative outcomes compared to moderate neuromuscular blockade in laparoscopic surgery. Still, its impact on intraoperative nociception and opioid requirement has never been assessed. ⋯ This study shows that deep neuromuscular blockade reduces intraoperative NOL-guided administration of remifentanil in colorectal laparoscopic surgeries. It also improves surgical conditions.

Limited literature exists on the vascular reactivity of the radial and ulnar arteries in hypertensive patients following radial artery cannulation. This study assessed the vascular reactivity of the radial and ulnar arteries by comparing Doppler images and laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) obtained from both normotensive and hypertensive patients after radial artery cannulation under general anesthesia. ⋯ The radial and ulnar arteries in hypertensive patients may lack a compensatory response to radial artery cannulation during general anesthesia.
