Originally Published hereSheep are a well-established model for cardiovascular research (DiVincenti et al. 2014). Anesthesia for thoracic and cardiac surgery may often include neuromuscular block. It has been shown that sheep are substantially more sensitive to the effects of vecuronium and pancuronium, two steroidal neuromuscular blocking agents, than people and other domestic species like the dog…
Originally Published hereIt remains unknown whether there is a causal relationship between intraoperative hypotension and postoperative neurocognitive disorders. We tested the hypothesis that personalised—compared to routine—intraoperative blood pressure management reduces the incidence of postoperative neurocognitive disorders in patients having major noncardiac surgery.

Originally Published herePulse wave transit time (PWTT) shows promise for monitoring intravascular fluid status intraoperatively. Presently, it is unknown how PWTT mirrors haemodynamic variables representing preload, inotropy, or afterload.
Originally Published hereEditor—We recently reported the impact of an opioid-free anaesthesia (OFA) strategy, when compared with an opioid-based anaesthesia (OBA) strategy on postoperative morphine consumption and patient comfort during laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery in class III obese patients.1 This study included 172 patients in total and a subgroup was monitored with the Nociception Level Index…
Originally Published hereSternal pain after cardiac surgery results in considerable discomfort. Single-injection parasternal fascial plane blocks have been shown to reduce pain scores and opioid consumption during the first 24 h after surgery, but the efficacy of continuous infusion has not been evaluated. This retrospective cohort study examined the effect of a continuous infusion of…
