Observational StudyAssociation Between Red Cell Distribution Width and Liver Injury after Cardiac and Aortic Aneurysm Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
This study aimed to investigate the association between preoperative red blood cell distribution width (RDW) levels and liver injury (LI) after cardiac surgery, to highlight RDW's usefulness in the early identification and intervention for patients at high risk of LI. ⋯ Preoperative RDW levels are significantly associated with postoperative LI. RDW could serve as a significant useful marker for early detection and intervention in patients at high risk of LI, thereby potentially improving patient outcomes.

Preoperative diagnoses of psychiatric disorders have a demonstrated association with higher rates of perioperative complications. However, recent studies examining the influence of psychiatric disorders on lumbar fusion outcomes are scarce. Our objective was to determine the relationship between the most common psychiatric disorders and perioperative outcomes after lumbar fusion. ⋯ Patients with depression, bipolar disorder, or anxiety exhibited higher rates of certain types of complications. However, they appeared to have fewer neurological injuries and wound complications than patients without these psychiatric disorders. These findings highlight the necessity for additional studies to elucidate underlying reasons for these disparities.

Hemodynamic changes in the prone position according to fluid loading after anaesthesia induction in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery: a randomized, assessor-blind, prospective study.
A change from the supine to prone position causes hemodynamic alterations. We aimed to evaluate the effect of fluid preloading in the supine position, the subsequent hemodynamic changes in the prone position and postoperative outcomes. ⋯ Fluid loading after inducing general anaesthesia could reduce the occurrence of hypotension until surgical incision in patients scheduled for surgery in the prone position. Additionally, hypotension could be predicted in patients with a baseline PVi >16. Therefore, intravenous fluid loading is strongly recommended in patients with high baseline PVi to prevent hypotension after anaesthesia induction and in the prone position.
