Perioperative Outcomes of Patients Who Were Not Candidates for Additional Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs in a Multimodal Pain Control Regimen for Total Knee Arthroplasty.

BACKGROUD: Postoperative pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may hamper patients from a rapid recovery and increase perioperative blood loss and stress on the cardiovascular system. Therefore, our objective was to assess perioperative outcomes after TKA in patients who were not candidates for the additional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in a multimodal pain control regimen...

An Intelligent Augmented Reality Training Framework for Neonatal Endotracheal Intubation.

Neonatal Endotracheal Intubation (ETI) is a critical resuscitation skill that requires tremendous practice of trainees before clinical exposure. However, current manikin-based training regimen is ineffective in providing satisfactory real-time procedural guidance for accurate assessment due to the lack of see-through visualization within the manikin. The training efficiency is further reduced by t...

One of the first validations of an artificial intelligence algorithm for clinical use: The impact on intraoperative hypotension prediction and clinical decision-making.

This review describes the steps and conclusions from the development and validation of an artificial intelligence algorithm (the Hypotension Predictio...

The role of artificial intelligence in surgical patient perioperative management.

Perioperative medicine is a patient-centered, multidisciplinary and integrated clinical practice that starts from the moment of contemplation of surge...

Determination of amphetamines, ketamine and their metabolites in hair with high-speed grinding and solid-phase microextraction followed by LC-MS.

A novel hair sample pre-treatment method based on high-speed grinding and solid-phase microextraction (SPME) had been applied for the determination of...

The use of tranexamic acid in open elbow release surgery.

BACKGROUND: Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been effective in reducing perioperative blood loss in hip, knee, and shoulder arthroplasty. Our purpose was to ...

Identification of dental pain sensation based on cardiorespiratory signals.

The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of the detection of brief periods of pain sensation based on cardiorespiratory signals during ...

Predicting the need for intubation in the first 24 h after critical care admission using machine learning approaches.

Early and accurate prediction of the need for intubation may provide more time for preparation and increase safety margins by avoiding high risk late ...

Intravenous Clonidine versus Intraperitoneal Clonidine for Postoperative Analgesia After Total Abdominal Hysterectomy: A Randomised Controlled Trial.

OBJECTIVE: This prospective randomised double-blind study was conducted to compare the effect of intravenous (IV) with intraperitoneal (IP) administra...

A Prospective Randomised Study to Assess the Analgesic Efficacy of Serratus Anterior Plane (SAP) Block for Modified Radical Mastectomy Under General Anaesthesia.

OBJECTIVE: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women and often requires surgery for the removal of the tumour. Uncontrolled pain after b...

OBJECTIVE: To analyze artificial intelligence image-assisted knee ligament injury repair and femoral nerve block analgesia after surgery.

Automated estimation of echocardiogram image quality in hospitalized patients.

We developed a machine learning model for efficient analysis of echocardiographic image quality in hospitalized patients. This study applied a machine...

Development of a machine learning algorithm to predict intubation among hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to develop a machine learning algorithm to predict future intubation among patients diagnosed or suspected with ...

Comparison of analgesia and akinesia between sub-Tenon's capsule anesthesia and trans-Tenon's capsule retrobulbar anesthesia in vitrectomy.

OBJECTIVES: We compared the effects of sub-Tenon's capsule anesthesia (STA) and trans-Tenon's capsule retrobulbar anesthesia (TTRBA) in 68 patients wi...
