Comparative StudyDifferences in circulating blood volume changes during emergence from general anesthesia in transcatheter aortic valve implantation and MitraClip implantation.
We aimed to compare changes in the circulating blood volume (CBV) during emergence from general anesthesia in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and MitraClip implantation. ⋯ Emergence from general anesthesia increased the hemoglobin concentration and decreased the estimated CBV in patients undergoing TAVI but did not elicit significant changes in patients undergoing MitraClip implantation. These results may provide a rationale for minimizing blood transfusions during general anesthesia in patients undergoing these procedures.

Association between postoperative shoulder pain and left-side laparoscopic urologic surgery: a single-center retrospective cohort study.
Postoperative shoulder pain is a common problem after laparoscopic surgery. This study aimed to investigate the association between operative side and postoperative shoulder pain following urologic laparoscopic surgery performed in the lateral recumbent position. ⋯ The left operative side is associated with an increased incidence of postoperative shoulder pain after urologic laparoscopic surgery performed in the lateral recumbent position.
