Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
The effect of opioid-free anaesthesia on the quality of recovery after endoscopic sinus surgery: A multicentre randomised controlled trial.
It remains to be determined whether opioid-free anaesthesia (OFA) is consistently effective for different types of surgery. ⋯ OFA can provide good intraoperative analgesia and postoperative recovery quality as effectively as conventional opioid anaesthesia in patients undergoing ESS. OFA can be an alternative option in the pain management of ESS.

Multicenter StudyPerioperative Iron Deficiency in Patients Scheduled for Major Elective Surgeries: A French Prospective Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study.
The management of perioperative iron deficiency is a component of the concept of patient blood management. The objective of this study was to update French data on the prevalence of iron deficiency in patients scheduled for major surgery. ⋯ Iron deficiency was present in half of patients scheduled for major surgery. However, few treatments to correct iron deficiency were implemented preoperatively or postoperatively. There is an urgent need for action to improve these outcomes, including better patient blood management.

Multicenter Study Observational StudyEvaluation of Anemia and Iron Deficiency in French Surgical Departments: The National Multicenter Observational PERIOPES Study.
Assessment of anemia and iron deficiency before surgery is pivotal for patient blood management (PBM), but few data on current practices are available in the French context. The objective of this study was to describe anemia and iron deficiency management and blood transfusion use in surgical departments in France. ⋯ Our observational study showed that preoperative anemia was frequent, but iron deficiency was often not assessed and few patients were treated. There is an urgent need for PBM implementation in these centers.

Patient and Process Outcomes Among Pediatric Patients Undergoing Appendectomy During the COVID-19 Pandemic - an International Retrospective Cohort study.
COVID-19 forced healthcare systems to make unprecedented changes in clinical care processes. The authors hypothesized that the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted timely access to care, perioperative processes, and clinical outcomes for pediatric patients undergoing primary appendectomy. ⋯ For children undergoing appendectomy, the COVID-19 pandemic did not significantly impact hospital length of stay.

Prolonged Opioid Use and Pain Outcome And Associated Factors after Surgery Under General Anesthesia: A Prospective Cohort Association Multicenter Study.
There is insufficient prospective evidence regarding the relationship between surgical experience and prolonged opioid use and pain. The authors investigated the association of patient characteristics, surgical procedure, and perioperative anesthetic course with postoperative opioid consumption and pain 3 months postsurgery. The authors hypothesized that patient characteristics and intraoperative factors predict opioid consumption and pain 3 months postsurgery. ⋯ Preoperative opioid use was the strongest predictor of opioid use 3 months postsurgery. None of the other variables showed clinically significant association with opioid use at 3 months after surgery.
