In this population-based cohort study involving a nationwide database from South Korea, we aimed to determine whether rapid response system (RRS) implementation is associated with mortality and morbidity after surgery under general anesthesia. ⋯ The RRS group had lower 30-day and 90-day mortality rates than the non-RRS group after surgery under general anesthesia. Moreover, RRS was associated with a lower rate of CPR episodes resulting from cardiac arrest in patients undergoing general anesthesia after surgery.

Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Comparative efficacy of intravenous treatments for perioperative shivering in patients undergoing caesarean delivery under neuraxial anaesthesia: A systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis of randomised-controlled trials.
Shivering affects 52 % of patients undergoing caesarean delivery under neuraxial anaesthesia. Despite extensive research focused on its prevention, there is still no consensus regarding optimal pharmacological treatment. This systematic review and network meta-analysis aims to compare available intravenous treatments of perioperative shivering in patients undergoing caesarean delivery under neuraxial anaesthesia. ⋯ This network meta-analysis identified four effective intravenous treatments for shivering in patients undergoing caesarean delivery under neuraxial anaesthesia: dexmedetomidine, tramadol, nalbuphine and meperidine. Dexmedetomidine was the top-ranked intervention for all outcomes.
