The aim of the study was to evaluate the value of lung ultrasound (LUS) in patients with cardiogenic shock treated by venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). ⋯ LUS is a promising tool for evaluating pulmonary changes in patients with cardiogenic shock undergoing VA-ECMO.

The liberal use of remifentanil in spine surgery has been associated with an increased incidence of postoperative hyperalgesia. Nevertheless, controversies remain as the existing evidence is inconclusive to determine the relationship between remifentanil use and the development of opioid-induced hyperalgesia. We hypothesized that intraoperative infusion of higher dose remifentanil during scoliosis surgery is associated with postoperative hyperalgesia, manifesting clinically as greater postoperative morphine consumption and pain scores. ⋯ Intraoperative use of remifentanil as an adjuvant in AIS patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion surgery was not associated with postoperative hyperalgesia.

This study aimed to explore whether the tricuspid annular systolic excursion (TAPSE)/mitral annular systolic excursion (MAPSE) ratio was associated with the occurrence of cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE) in critically ill patients. ⋯ The TAPSE/MAPSE ratio can be used to identify critically ill patients at higher risk of CPE.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of driving pressure on early postoperative lung gas distribution in supratentorial craniotomy: a randomized controlled trial.
Neurosurgical patients represent a high-risk population for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). A lower intraoperative driving pressure (DP) is related to a reduction in postoperative pulmonary complications. We hypothesized that driving pressure-guided ventilation during supratentorial craniotomy might lead to a more homogeneous gas distribution in the lung postoperatively. ⋯ ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04421976.

This study was conducted to examine the association between the A118G polymorphism of the OPRM1 gene and the risk of increased VAS scores in patients with colorectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic radical resection for which fentanyl was used. ⋯ The A118G polymorphism of the OPRM1 gene carrying wild gene A was a risk factor for VAS ≥ 4 in the PACU. Moreover, it is a risk factor for increased dosage of fentanyl in the PACU.
