Letter ReviewMonitor smart, use better: the future of haemodynamic monitoring.
The review article "Haemodynamic Monitoring During Noncardiac Surgery" offers valuable insights but lacks evidence linking specific haemodynamic strategies to improved outcomes. There's a need for standardized protocols, ongoing clinician education, and further validation of new technologies. Additionally, balancing the use of invasive versus noninvasive methods and addressing cost-effectiveness and sustainability are essential. Continued research and adaptive practices are crucial for optimizing perioperative care.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Continuous vital sign monitoring on surgical wards: The COSMOS pilot.
Alerts for vital sign abnormalities seek to identify meaningful patient instability while limiting alarm fatigue. Optimal vital sign alarm settings for postoperative patients remain unknown, as is whether alerts lead to effective clinical responses reducing vital sign disturbances. We conducted a 2-phase pilot study to identify thresholds and delays and test the hypothesis that alerts from continuous monitoring reduce the duration of vital sign abnormalities. ⋯ gov registration: NCT05280574.

Observational Study
Relationship between intra-operative urine output and postoperative acute kidney injury in paediatric cardiac surgery: A retrospective cohort study.
Intra-operative urine output (UO) has been shown to predict postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in adults; however, its significance in children undergoing cardiac surgery remains unknown. ⋯ Intra-operative UO was not associated with postoperative AKI during paediatric cardiac surgery. However, we found a significant association between UO and postoperative moderate-to-severe AKI. This suggests that reductions in intra-operative urine output below a specific threshold may be associated with postoperative renal dysfunction.
