Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Effect of perioperative rehabilitation exercise on postoperative outcomes in patients aged ≥65 years undergoing gastrointestinal surgery: A multicenter randomized controlled trial.
This study aimed to assess the effect of perioperative rehabilitation exercise, initiated shortly after hospital admission, on postoperative outcomes in elderly patients. ⋯ Perioperative rehabilitation exercise has a positive impact on postoperative complications, quality of life and psychological well-being in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, even when implemented after hospital admission.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Continuous vital sign monitoring on surgical wards: The COSMOS pilot.
Alerts for vital sign abnormalities seek to identify meaningful patient instability while limiting alarm fatigue. Optimal vital sign alarm settings for postoperative patients remain unknown, as is whether alerts lead to effective clinical responses reducing vital sign disturbances. We conducted a 2-phase pilot study to identify thresholds and delays and test the hypothesis that alerts from continuous monitoring reduce the duration of vital sign abnormalities. ⋯ gov registration: NCT05280574.

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.

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.

Blood pressure drops during endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke have been associated with worse outcomes for stroke patients. We aimed to evaluate this observation in our patient population. ⋯ In this retrospective study of general anaesthesia for endovascular stroke therapy, blood pressure drops during the intervention were associated with reduced odds of a good functional outcome three months later. Before a clinical recommendation can be made, a prospective study must clarify effective and safe target ranges of blood pressure support and augmentation.
