Observational Study
Intraoperative temperature management during emergency cesarean section: a retrospective observational study.
Intraoperative hypothermia is a common complication during cesarean section (C-section) and associated with the high maternal mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to explore the risk factors associated with the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia in women who underwent emergency C-section deliveries. ⋯ Hypothermia is common in emergency C-section deliveries. It is recommended that active warming methods should be applied to parturient undergoing emergency C-sections more proactively, especially for women who have a low baseline core temperature (< 36.5 °C) and are expected to have a long surgery duration.

There are conflicting data on the relationship between preoperative electrocardiogram and postoperative mortality. We aimed to assess the predictive value of preoperative ECG on postoperative all-cause mortality in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery (NCS). ⋯ Patients with abnormal preoperative ECG findings face an elevated risk of all-cause mortality within 90 days after surgery. The highest mortality risk is observed in patients with atrial fibrillation and left bundle branch block. Additionally, an elevated heart rate, right bundle branch block, and atrial fibrillation further increase the risk of death in patients with pre-existing cardiac conditions.

Multicenter Study
Risk analysis of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients after gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.
This study is designed to identify risk factors of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients after gynecologic laparoscopic surgery and establish a nomogram model. ⋯ A nomogram model was developed to predict the incidence of PONV in patients after gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. This model was found to be reliable and of high clinical value.

The objective of this study was to observe the incidence and potential risk factors of postoperative depression and anxiety in patients during the early period after undergoing orthognathic surgery. ⋯ Postoperative depression and anxiety are common among patients who undergo orthognathic surgery. Moreover, preoperative psychological status and incidence of postoperative adverse events were associated with an increased risk of depression and anxiety after surgery. The results of the present study suggest that careful psychological assessment and appropriate management are necessary to improve patients' recovery following orthognathic surgery.

The purpose of this network meta-analysis was to assess the impact of different protective ventilatory strategies on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). ⋯ LTVs combined with iPEEP and RM decreased the incidence of PPCs, postoperative atelectasis, and pneumonia in noncardiac surgery patients. Individual PEEP-guided ventilation was the optimal lung protection ventilation strategy. The quality of evidence is moderate.
