This study identified failures in emergency inter-hospital transfer, or re-triage, at high-level trauma centers receiving severely injured patients. ⋯ The most critical failures were limited transportation and incomplete exchange of clinical, radiological and arrival timing information. Further investigation of these failures that includes several regions is needed to determine the reproducibility of these findings.

To compare quality of recovery in patients receiving epidural or paravertebral analgesia for minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE). ⋯ This randomized controlled trial did not demonstrate superiority of paravertebral over epidural analgesia regarding quality of recovery on POD3 after MIE. Both techniques are effective and can be offered in clinical practice.
