Observational StudyAccuracy, Precision, and Trending Ability of Perioperative Central Venous Oxygen Saturation Compared to Mixed Venous Oxygen Saturation in Unselected Cardiac Surgical Patients.
To determine whether central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) measurements could be used interchangeably with mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) measurements in adult cardiac surgery patients. ⋯ ScvO2 values showed acceptable accuracy as the mean bias was low. The precision was inadequate; although the PE was acceptable, the LOA were wide. Trending ability was inadequate. The authors cannot recommend the use of ScvO2 values interchangeably with SvO2 measurements in the management of adult cardiac surgery patients.

Gender of Abstract Presenters at the Annual Meetings of the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists and American Society of Anesthesiologists: 2016 to 2020.
The purpose of this study was to assess gender in abstract poster presentations at the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists (SCA) and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Annual Meetings from 2016 through 2020 to determine possible gender disparities in anesthesia overall as compared to cardiothoracic anesthesia. ⋯ At the SCA, women were appropriately represented as both presenting and senior abstract authors. At the ASA, there was significant overrepresentation of women as presenting authors and underrepresentation of women as senior authors. These results suggested that abstract presentation is not a barrier to academic advancement.
