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.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Volume of intraoperative normal saline versus lactated Ringer's solution on acute kidney injury: A secondary analysis of the SOLAR trial.
Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is common after non-cardiac surgery. Normal saline and lactated Ringer's solution are both used for volume replacement during surgery. Normal saline decreases renal blood flow and causes hyperchloremic acidosis whereas lactated Ringer's does not. The incidence of AKI is similar with modest volumes of each fluid. But it remains unclear whether larger volumes of normal saline provoke AKI. ⋯ While saline administration clearly causes volume-dependent hyperchloremia, we found no evidence to support the theory that large volumes of saline provoke AKI. Therefore, either fluid seems reasonable for intraoperative use.
