Review Meta Analysis
Prospectively assessed neurodevelopmental outcomes in studies of anaesthetic neurotoxicity in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
A single pediatric general anesthetic exposure is associated with increased parental-reported behavioural changes though no difference in general intelligence.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
Ventilation and outcomes following robotic-assisted abdominal surgery: an international, multicentre observational study.
International data on the epidemiology, ventilation practice, and outcomes in patients undergoing abdominal robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) are lacking. The aim of the study was to assess the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), and to describe ventilator management after abdominal RAS. ⋯ NCT02989415.

Comparative Study Observational Study
Intelligent checklists improve checklist compliance in the intensive care unit: a prospective before-and-after mixed-method study.
We examined whether a context and process-sensitive 'intelligent' checklist increases compliance with best practice compared with a paper checklist during intensive care ward rounds. ⋯ NCT03599856.

Hazardous pathogens are spread in either droplets or aerosols produced during aerosol-generating procedures (AGP). Adjuncts minimising exposure of healthcare workers to hazardous pathogens released during AGP may be beneficial. We used state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling to optimise the performance of a custom-designed shield. ⋯ CFD modelling provides information to guide optimisation of the efficient removal of hazardous pathogens released during AGP from a custom-designed shield. These data are essential to establish before clinical use, pragmatic clinical trials, or both.
