RESUMO
RATIONALE/OBJECTIVES: Despite plausible pathophysiological mechanisms, research is needed to confirm the relationship between sleep, circadian rhythm and delirium in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The objective of this review is to summarise existing studies promoting, in whole or in part, the normalisation of sleep and circadian biology and their impact on the incidence, prevalence, duration and/or severity of delirium in ICU. METHODS: A sensitive search of electronic databases and conference proceedings was completed in March 2023. Inclusion criteria were English-language studies of any design that evaluated in-ICU non-pharmacological, pharmacological or mixed intervention strategies for promoting sleep or circadian biology and their association with delirium, as assessed at least daily. Data were extracted and independently verified. RESULTS: Of 7886 citations, we included 50 articles. Commonly evaluated interventions include care bundles (n=20), regulation or administration of light therapy (n=5), eye masks and/or earplugs (n=5), one nursing care-focused intervention and pharmacological intervention (eg, melatonin and ramelteon; n=19). The association between these interventions and incident delirium or severity of delirium was mixed. As multiple interventions were incorporated in included studies of care bundles and given that there was variable reporting of compliance with individual elements, identifying which components might have an impact on delirium is challenging. CONCLUSIONS: This scoping review summarises the existing literature as it relates to ICU sleep and circadian disruption (SCD) and delirium in ICU. Further studies are needed to better understand the role of ICU SCD promotion interventions in delirium mitigation.
RESUMO
Substance use disorders, including alcohol use disorder, are a public health concern that affect more than 150 million people globally. The opioid antagonist naltrexone is being increasingly prescribed to treat opioid use disorder, alcohol use disorder, and chronic pain. Perioperative management of patients on naltrexone is inconsistent and remains a controversial topic, with mismanagement posing a significant risk to the long-term health of these patients. This scoping review was conducted to identify human studies in which the perioperative management of naltrexone was described. This review includes a systematic literature search involving Medline, Medline In-Process, Embase, PsycINFO, and Web of Science. Seventeen articles that describe perioperative naltrexone management strategies were included, including thirteen guidelines, one case report, and three randomized trials. Despite its use in patients with alcohol use disorder and chronic pain, no clinical studies, case reports, or guidelines addressed naltrexone use in these clinical populations. All of the guideline documents recommended the preoperative cessation of naltrexone, irrespective of dose, indication, or route of administration. None of these guideline documents were designed on the basis of a systematic literature search or a Delphi protocol. As described by the primary studies, perioperative pain relief varied depending on naltrexone dose and route of administration, time since last naltrexone administration, and underlying substance use disorder. None of the studies commented on the maintenance of recovery for the patient's substance use disorder in the context of perioperative naltrexone management. The current understanding of the risks and benefits of continuing or stopping naltrexone perioperatively is limited by a lack of high-quality evidence. In patients with risk factors for return to use of opioids or alcohol, the discontinuation of naltrexone should have a strong rationale. Future studies and guidelines should seek to address both acute pain management and maintaining recovery when discussing perioperative naltrexone management strategies.

Surgery and general anaesthesia have deleterious effects on sleep and disrupted perioperative sleep health is a risk factor for poor surgical outcomes. The objective of this systematic review was to summarise preoperative interventions that report sleep outcomes. Studies that delivered an intervention initiated >24 h prior to surgery among an adult sample without a diagnosed sleep disorder were included. Studies were excluded if they were preclinical or were not published in English. MEDLINE, MEDLINE ePubs Ahead of Print and In-process Citations, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, APA PsycINFO, CINAHL, and the Web of Science were searched on February 2, 2023. This review was reported in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (identifier: CRD42021260578). Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk-of Bias 2 tool for randomised trials and the Risk Of Bias In Non-randomised Studies - of Interventions for non-randomised trials. Certainty of findings were assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework. The searching yielded 10,938 total citations, and after screening resulted in 28 randomised and 19 non-randomised trials (47 total) with 4937 participants. Sleep was a primary outcome in 16 trials; a sleep outcome was significantly improved relative to comparator in 23 trials. This review demonstrates that preoperative sleep is modifiable via a variety of interventions, including pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and nursing interventions delivered preoperatively or perioperatively. Our results should be considered with caution due to an overall intermediate to high risk of bias in the included trials, and low to very low certainty of evidence. This review supports the modifiability of sleep health among surgical patients and provides the groundwork for preoperative sleep optimisation research.

PURPOSE: Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in children. Since most clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are designed to support surgical decisions, none are specifically designed for the perioperative management of children undergoing tonsillectomy. We aimed to identify and analyze the existing CPGs with recommendations for the perioperative management of children undergoing tonsillectomy by conducting a systematic review. SOURCE: We searched Embase, MEDLINE, MEDLINE ePub Ahead of Print, and CINAHL for relevant articles published from inception to 3 August 2022. The inclusion criteria were: 1) CPG of perioperative recommendations for tonsillectomy under general anesthesia in children, 2) CPG that include at least one evidence-based recommendation, 3) peer-reviewed CPG published in English after 2000. We extracted data on baseline characteristics of each CPG and general recommendations for perioperative interventions or complications. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Out of five eligible CPGs, AGREE II and REX confirmed that two CPGs were high quality while only one of the two was recommended for implementation without modifications. Most of the recommendations were for pain management. Acetaminophen was the only medication recommended in all five CPG. Except for the oldest CPG, the CPG all supported of the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids as a pain adjunct. CONCLUSIONS: Acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and steroids are recommended in the perioperative management of pediatric tonsillectomy. Future CPG should further clarify the safe use of opioids based on severity of obstructive sleep apnea and in the context of opioid-sparing techniques, such as dexmedetomidine, high-dose dexamethasone, and gabapentinoids. STUDY REGISTRATION: PROSPERO (CRD42021253374); first submitted 18 June 2021.
RéSUMé: OBJECTIF: L'amygdalectomie est l'une des interventions chirurgicales les plus courantes pratiquées chez les enfants. Étant donné que la plupart des lignes directrices de pratique clinique sont conçues pour soutenir les décisions chirurgicales, aucune n'est spécifiquement conçue pour la prise en charge périopératoire des enfants bénéficiant d'une amygdalectomie. Notre objectif était d'identifier et d'analyser les lignes directrices de pratique clinique existantes comportant des recommandations pour la prise en charge périopératoire des enfants bénéficiant d'une amygdalectomie en réalisant une revue systématique. SOURCES: Nous avons recherché des articles pertinents dans Embase, MEDLINE, MEDLINE ePub Ahead of Print et CINAHL, publiés depuis la création de ces bases de données jusqu'au 3 août 2022. Les critères d'inclusion étaient les suivants : 1) lignes directrices de pratique clinique comportant des recommandations périopératoires pour l'amygdalectomie sous anesthésie générale chez les enfants, 2) lignes directrices de pratique clinique incluant au moins une recommandation fondée sur des données probantes, et 3) lignes directrices de pratique clinique évaluées par des pairs et publiées en anglais après 2000. Nous avons extrait des données sur les caractéristiques de base de chacune des lignes directrices de pratique clinique et des recommandations générales pour les interventions périopératoires ou les complications. CONSTATATIONS PRINCIPALES: Sur les cinq lignes directrices de pratique clinique admissibles, AGREE II et REX ont confirmé que deux lignes directrices de pratique clinique étaient de haute qualité, tandis qu'une seule des deux a été recommandée pour une mise en Åuvre sans modifications. La plupart des recommandations portaient sur la prise en charge de la douleur. L'acétaminophène était le seul médicament recommandé dans les cinq lignes directrices de pratique clinique. À l'exception des lignes directrices de pratique clinique les plus anciennes, les autres ont toutes soutenu l'utilisation d'agents anti-inflammatoires non stéroïdiens et de stéroïdes comme adjuvants pour la douleur. CONCLUSION: L'acétaminophène, les agents anti-inflammatoires non stéroïdiens et les stéroïdes sont recommandés pour la prise en charge périopératoire de l'amygdalectomie pédiatrique. À l'avenir, les lignes directrices de pratique clinique devraient clarifier davantage l'utilisation sécuritaire des opioïdes en fonction de la gravité de l'apnée obstructive du sommeil et dans le contexte des techniques d'épargne des opioïdes, telles que la dexmédétomidine, la dexaméthasone à forte dose et les gabapentinoïdes. ENREGISTREMENT DE L'éTUDE: PROSPERO (CRD42021253374); soumise pour la première fois le 18 juin 2021.

Background- Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is one of the most devastating diseases with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. The heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive method of monitoring various components of the autonomic nervous system activity that can be utilized to delineate autonomic dysfunctions associated with various physiological and pathological conditions. The reliability of HRV as a predictor of clinical outcome in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is not yet well investigated in literature. Methods- A systematic review and in depth analysis of 10 articles on early HRV changes in SAH patients was performed. Results- This systematic review demonstrates a correlation between early changes in HRV indices (time and frequency domain) and the development of neuro-cardiogenic complications and poor neurologic outcome in patients with SAH. Conclusions- A correlation between absolute values or changes of the LF/HF ratio and neurologic and cardiovascular complications was found in multiple studies. Because of significant limitations of included studies, a large prospective study with proper handling of confounders is needed to generate high-quality recommendations regarding HRV as a predictor of post SAH complications and poor neurologic outcome.

We conducted an Umbrella review of eligible studies to evaluate what patient features have been investigated in the multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) population, in order to guide future investigations. We comprehensively searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from December 1, 2019 to the May 6, 2022. The time period was limited to cover the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic period. The protocol was registered in the PROSPERO registry (CRD42022340228). Eligible studies included (1) a study population of pediatric patients ≤21 years of age diagnosed with MIS-C; (2) an original Systematic review or Mata-analysis; (3) published 2020 afterward; and (4) was published in English. A total of 41 studies met inclusion criteria and underwent qualitative analysis. 28 studies reported outcome data of MIS-C. 22 studies selected clinical features of MIS-C, and 6 studies chose demographic data as a main topic. The mortality rate for children with MIS-C was 1.9% (interquartile range (IQR) 0.48), the ICU admission rate was 72.6% (IQR 8.3), and the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation rate was 4.7% (IQR 2.0). A meta-analysis of eligible studies found that cerebral natriuretic peptide in children with MIS-C was higher than that in children with COVID-19, and that the use of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in combination with glucocorticoids to treat MIS-C compared to IVIG alone was associated with lower treatment failure. In the future, for patients with MIS-C, studies focused on safety of surgery requiring general anesthesia, risk factors, treatment, and long-term outcomes are warranted.

BACKGROUND: Several frailty screening tools have been shown to predict mortality and complications after surgery. However, these tools were developed for in-person evaluation and cannot be used during virtual assessments before surgery. The FRAIL (fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness, and loss of weight) scale is a brief assessment that can potentially be conducted virtually or self-administered, but its association with postoperative outcomes in older surgical patients is unknown. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis (SRMA) was to determine whether the FRAIL scale is associated with mortality and postoperative outcomes in older surgical patients. METHODS: Systematic searches were conducted of multiple literature databases from January 1, 2008, to December 17, 2022, to identify English language studies using the FRAIL scale in surgical patients and reporting mortality and postoperative outcomes, including postoperative complications, postoperative delirium, length of stay, and functional recovery. These databases included Medline, Medline ePubs/In-process citations, Embase, APA (American Psychological Association) PsycInfo, Ovid Emcare Nursing, (all via the Ovid platform), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) EbscoHost, the Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics), and Scopus (Elsevier). The risk of bias was assessed using the quality in prognosis studies tool. RESULTS: A total of 18 studies with 4479 patients were included. Eleven studies reported mortality at varying time points. Eight studies were included in the meta-analysis of mortality. The pooled odds ratio (OR) of 30-day, 6-month, and 1-year mortality for frail patients was 6.62 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.80-15.61; P < .01), 2.97 (95% CI, 1.54-5.72; P < .01), and 1.54 (95% CI, 0.91-2.58; P = .11), respectively. Frailty was associated with postoperative complications and postoperative delirium, with an OR of 3.11 (95% CI, 2.06-4.68; P < .01) and 2.65 (95% CI, 1.85-3.80; P < .01), respectively. The risk of bias was low in 16 of 18 studies. CONCLUSIONS: As measured by the FRAIL scale, frailty was associated with 30-day mortality, 6-month mortality, postoperative complications, and postoperative delirium.

INTRODUCTION: Stellate ganglion block (SGB) is performed to relieve head, face, neck, or upper limb pain, and several non-pain indications for performing this block have emerged over the years. To date, there has been no attempt to synthesize evidence on SGB for treating non-pain indications. This scoping review presents a summary of the efficacy and adverse effects of SGB when performed for 6 non-pain indications. METHODS: This scoping review was accomplished through the use of Arksey and O'Malley framework. A literature search was conducted for relevant articles in medical databases to identify publications on SGB and specified study types. Two reviewers independently assessed the risk of bias for randomized controlled trials, nonrandomized comparative studies, and case series. Results were summarized and recommendations were made on the basis of the strength of the available evidence according to the US Preventative Services Task Force grading system. RESULTS: Twenty-four studies (19 randomized controlled trials and 5 nonrandomized studies) were included in this review. On the basis of the evidence, SGB is recommended for obtunding cardiovascular sympathetic stimulation, improving perfusion in limbs, and alleviating menopausal symptoms with a Grade B or C recommendation and a moderate-to-low level of certainty. There was insufficient evidence to recommend SGB for the other indications. CONCLUSIONS: SGB can be considered for obtunding cardiovascular sympathetic stimulation and stress response, reducing vascular tone to improve vascular insufficiency in the limbs and perioperative hemodynamic stability, and alleviating hot flashes in menopause, in conditions refractory to conventional medical management.

BACKGROUND: Older patients with preoperative cognitive impairment are at risk for increased postoperative complications after noncardiac surgery. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the association between preoperative cognitive impairment and dementia and postoperative outcomes in older surgical patients after cardiac surgery. METHODS: Eight electronic databases were searched from inception to January 4, 2022. Inclusion criteria were cardiac surgery patients ≥60 years of age; preoperative cognitive impairment; ≥1 postoperative complication reported; comparator group with no preoperative cognitive impairment; and written in English. Using a random-effects model, we calculated effect sizes as odds ratio (OR) and standardized mean differences (SMDs). Risk of random error was assessed by applying trial sequential analysis. RESULTS: Sixteen studies (62,179 patients) were included. Preoperative cognitive impairment was associated with increased risk of delirium in older patients after cardiac surgery (70.0% vs 20.5%; OR, 8.35; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.25-16.38; I 2 , 0%; P < .00001). Cognitive impairment was associated with increased hospital length of stay (LOS; SMD, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.20-0.51; I 2 , 22%; P < .00001) and intensive care unit (ICU) LOS (SMD, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.09-0.68; I 2 , 70%; P = .01). No significant association was seen for 30-day mortality (1.7% vs 1.1%; OR, 2.58; 95% CI, 0.64-10.44; I 2 , 55%; P = .18). CONCLUSIONS: In older patients undergoing cardiac surgery, cognitive impairment was associated with an 8-fold increased risk of delirium, a 5% increase in absolute risk of major postoperative bleeding, and an increase in hospital and ICU LOS by approximately 0.4 days. Further research on the feasibility of implementing routine neurocognitive testing is warranted.

Currently, the quality of guidelines for the perioperative management of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is unknown, leaving anesthesiologists to make perioperative management decisions with some degree of uncertainty. This study evaluated the quality of clinical practice guidelines regarding the perioperative management of patients with OSA. This study was reported in compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A systematic search of the MedlineALL (Ovid) database was conducted from inception to February 26, 2021, for clinical practice guidelines in the English language. Quality appraisal of guidelines was evaluated using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE II) framework. Descriptive statistical analysis of each of the 6 domains was expressed as a percentage using the formula: (obtained score - minimum possible score)/(maximum possible score - minimum possible score). Of 192 articles identified in the search, 41 full texts were assessed for eligibility, and 10 articles were included in this review. Intraclass correlation coefficients of the AGREE II scores across the 7 evaluators for each guideline were each >0.9, suggesting that the consistency of the scores among evaluators was high. Sixty percent of recommendations were based on evidence using validated methods to grade medical literature, while the remainder were consensus based. The median and range scores of each domain were: (1) scope and purpose, 88% (60%-95%); (2) stakeholder involvement, 52% (30%-82%); (3) rigor of development, 67% (40%-90%); (4) clarity of presentation, 74% (57%-88%); (5) applicability, 46% (20%-73%); and (6) editorial independence, 67% (19%-83%). Only 4 guidelines achieved an overall score of >70%. This critical appraisal showed that many clinical practice guidelines for perioperative management of patients with OSA used validated methods to grade medical literature, such as Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) and Oxford classification, with lower scores for stakeholder involvement due to lack of engagement of patient partners and applicability domain due to lack of focus on the complete perioperative period such as postdischarge counseling. Future efforts should be directed toward establishing higher focus on the quality of evidence, stakeholder involvement, and applicability to the wider perioperative patient experience.

Rationale: The most beneficial positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) selection strategy in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is unknown, and current practice is variable. Objectives: To compare the relative effects of different PEEP selection strategies on mortality in adults with moderate to severe ARDS. Methods: We conducted a network meta-analysis using a Bayesian framework. Certainty of evidence was evaluated using grading of recommendations assessment, development and evaluation methodology. Measurements and Main Results: We included 18 randomized trials (4,646 participants). Compared with a lower PEEP strategy, the posterior probability of mortality benefit from a higher PEEP without lung recruitment maneuver (LRM) strategy was 99% (risk ratio [RR], 0.77; 95% credible interval [CrI], 0.60-0.96, high certainty), the posterior probability of benefit of the esophageal pressure-guided strategy was 87% (RR, 0.77; 95% CrI, 0.48-1.22, moderate certainty), the posterior probability of benefit of a higher PEEP with brief LRM strategy was 96% (RR, 0.83; 95% CrI, 0.67-1.02, moderate certainty), and the posterior probability of increased mortality from a higher PEEP with prolonged LRM strategy was 77% (RR, 1.06; 95% CrI, 0.89-1.22, low certainty). Compared with a higher PEEP without LRM strategy, the posterior probability of increased mortality from a higher PEEP with prolonged LRM strategy was 99% (RR, 1.37; 95% CrI, 1.04-1.81, moderate certainty). Conclusions: In patients with moderate to severe ARDS, higher PEEP without LRM is associated with a lower risk of death than lower PEEP. A higher PEEP with prolonged LRM strategy is associated with increased risk of death when compared with higher PEEP without LRM.

PURPOSE: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is common in pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia, and clinicians seek prophylactic interventions to prevent its ill effects on patients as well as its ramifications on perioperative care. We sought to assess the body of evidence around prophylactic strategies, both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic, targeting pediatric PONV. SOURCE: We searched MEDLINE, MEDLINE ePubs Ahead of Print and In-Process Citations, Embase Classic+Embase, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane CENTRAL (via the Ovid platform), Scopus (Elsevier), Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics), ClinicalTrials.gov, the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and the International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number Registry, from their inception to 23 September 2022. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Of 188 clinical trials, 157 (83%) investigated pharmacologic interventions, 25 (13%) investigated nonpharmacologic interventions, and six (3%) investigated mixed pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions. The most common surgeries investigated for pediatric PONV were strabismus surgery (68 trials, 36%) and tonsillectomy or tympanoplasty (45 trials, 23%). Of four measurement tools used to assess PONV in the included trials, the most common was clinical judgement (170 trials, 90%). CONCLUSION: The majority of data in pediatric PONV prophylaxis is based on pharmacologic interventions, with a paucity of research in nonpharmacologic or mixed interventions. Assessing and documenting PONV using tools such as the Baxter Animated Retching Faces Scale or PONV numeric scoring system may help standardize pediatric PONV prophylaxis research moving forward. Furthermore, concurrently assessing pain and adverse effects associated with PONV might further inform our understanding of this complex clinical entity.
RéSUMé: OBJECTIF: Les nausées et vomissements postopératoires (NVPO) sont fréquents chez la patientèle pédiatrique bénéficiant d'une anesthésie générale, et les équipes cliniques recherchent des interventions prophylactiques pour prévenir leurs effets néfastes sur les patient·es ainsi que leurs ramifications sur les soins périopératoires. Nous avons cherché à évaluer l'ensemble des données probantes entourant les stratégies prophylactiques pharmacologiques et non pharmacologiques ciblant les NVPO pédiatriques. SOURCES: Nous avons effectué des recherches dans les bases de données MEDLINE, MEDLINE ePubs Ahead of Print and In-Process Citations, Embase Classic+Embase, la base de données des revues systématiques Cochrane, Cochrane CENTRAL (via la plateforme Ovid), Scopus (Elsevier), Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics), ClinicalTrials.gov, le système d'enregistrement international des essais cliniques de l'OMS et le registre international normalisé des numéros d'essais contrôlés randomisés, depuis leur création jusqu'au 23 septembre 2022. CONSTATATIONS PRINCIPALES: Sur 188 études cliniques, 157 (83 %) portaient sur des interventions pharmacologiques, 25 (13 %) sur des interventions non pharmacologiques et six (3 %) sur des interventions pharmacologiques et non pharmacologiques mixtes. Les chirurgies les plus fréquemment étudiées pour les NVPO pédiatriques étaient les chirurgies de strabisme (68 études, 36 %) et les amygdalectomies ou tympanoplasties (45 études, 23 %). Parmi les quatre outils de mesure utilisés pour évaluer les NVPO dans les études incluses, le plus fréquemment utilisé était le jugement clinique (170 études, 90 %). CONCLUSION: La majorité des données sur les prophylaxies pédiatriques pour prévenir les NVPO sont basées sur des interventions pharmacologiques, avec peu de recherche sur les interventions non pharmacologiques ou mixtes. L'évaluation et la documentation des NVPO à l'aide d'outils tels que l'échelle Baxter Animated Retching Faces Scale ou un système de notation numérique des NVPO peuvent aider à normaliser la recherche sur la prophylaxie pédiatrique des NVPO à l'avenir. De plus, l'évaluation simultanée de la douleur et des effets indésirables associés aux NVPO pourrait éclairer davantage notre compréhension de cette entité clinique complexe.

PURPOSE: Cold-stored platelets (CSP) are an increasingly active topic of international research. They are maintained at 1-6 °C, in contrast to standard room-temperature platelets (RTP) kept at 20-24 °C. Recent evidence suggests that CSP have superior hemostatic properties compared with RTP. This narrative review explores the application of CSP in adult cardiac surgery, summarizes the preclinical and clinical evidence for their use, and highlights recent research. SOURCE: A targeted search of MEDLINE and other databases up to 24 February 2022 was conducted. Search terms combined concepts such as cardiac surgery, blood, platelet, and cold-stored. Searches of trial registries ClinicalTrials.gov and WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform were included. Articles were included if they described adult surgical patients as their population of interest and an association between CSP and clinical outcomes. References of included articles were hand searched. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: When platelets are stored at 1-6 °C, their metabolic rate is slowed, preserving hemostatic function for increased storage duration. Cold-stored platelets have superior adhesion characteristics under physiologic shear conditions, and similar or superior aggregation responses to physiologic agonists. Cold-stored platelets undergo structural, metabolic, and molecular changes which appear to "prime" them for hemostatic activity. While preliminary, clinical evidence supports the conduct of trials comparing CSP with RTP for patients with platelet-related bleeding, such as those undergoing cardiac surgery. CONCLUSION: Cold-stored platelets may have several advantages over RTP, including increased hemostatic capacity, extended shelf-life, and reduced risk of bacterial contamination. Large clinical trials are needed to establish their potential role in the treatment of acutely bleeding patients.
RéSUMé: OBJECTIF: Les plaquettes conservées au froid (PCF) sont un sujet de recherche internationale de plus en plus populaire. Ces plaquettes sont maintenues à une température de 1-6 °C, contrairement aux plaquettes standard conservées à température ambiante (PTA), maintenues à 2024 °C. Des données probantes récentes suggèrent que les PCF ont des propriétés hémostatiques supérieures aux PTA. Ce compte rendu narratif explore l'application de PCF en chirurgie cardiaque chez l'adulte, résume les données probantes précliniques et cliniques de leur utilisation, et met en évidence les recherches récentes. SOURCES: Une recherche ciblée dans MEDLINE et d'autres bases de données jusqu'au 24 février 2022 a été effectuée. Les termes de recherche combinaient des concepts en anglais tels que cardiac surgery, blood, platelet et cold-stored (soit chirurgie cardiaque, plaquette, et entreposage frigorifique). Des recherches dans les registres d'études ClinicalTrials.gov et le système d'enregistrement international des essais cliniques (ICTRP) de l'OMS ont été incluses. Les articles ont été inclus s'ils décrivaient des patient·es adultes de chirurgie en tant que population d'intérêt et une association entre les PCF et les issues cliniques. Les références des articles inclus ont fait l'objet d'une recherche manuelle. CONSTATATIONS PRINCIPALES: Lorsque les plaquettes sont conservées entre 1 et 6 °C, leur taux métabolique est ralenti, préservant la fonction hémostatique pour une durée d'entreposage accrue. Les plaquettes conservées au froid ont des caractéristiques d'adhésion supérieures dans des conditions de cisaillement physiologique et des réponses d'agrégation similaires ou supérieures aux agonistes physiologiques. Les plaquettes conservées au froid subissent des changements structurels, métaboliques et moléculaires qui semblent les « amorcer ¼ pour une activité hémostatique. Bien que préliminaires, les données probantes cliniques appuient la réalisation d'études comparant les PCF aux PTA chez la patientèle présentant des saignements liés aux plaquettes, tels que les personnes bénéficiant d'une chirurgie cardiaque. CONCLUSION: Les plaquettes conservées au froid peuvent présenter plusieurs avantages par rapport aux PTA, notamment une capacité hémostatique accrue, une durée de conservation prolongée et un risque réduit de contamination bactérienne.

BACKGROUND: Recurrence rates of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) after curative hepatectomy are as high as 50% to 70%, and about half of these recurrences occur within 2 years. This systematic review aims to define prognostic factors (PFs) for early recurrence (ER, within 24 months) and 24-month disease-free survival (DFS) after curative-intent iCCA resections. METHODS: Systematic searching was performed from database inception to 14 January 2021. Duplicate independent review and data extraction were performed. Data on 13 predefined PFs were collected. Meta-analysis was performed on PFs for ER and summarized using forest plots. The Quality in Prognostic Factor Studies tool was used for risk-of-bias assessment. RESULTS: The study enrolled 10 studies comprising 4158 patients during an accrual period ranging from 1990 to 2016. In the risk-of-bias assessment of patients who experienced ER after curative-intent iCCA resection, six studies were rated as low risk and four as moderate risk (49.6%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 49.2-50.0). Nine studies were pooled for meta-analysis. Of the postoperative PFs, multiple tumors, microvascular invasion, macrovascular invasion, lymph node metastasis, and R1 resection were associated with an increased hazard for ER or a reduced 24-month DFS, and the opposite was observed for receipt of adjuvant chemo/radiation therapy. Of the preoperative factors, cirrhosis, sex, HBV status were not associated with ER or 24-month DFS. CONCLUSION: The findings from this systematic review could allow for improved surveillance, prognostication, and treatment decision-making for patients with resectable iCCAs. Further well-designed prospective studies are needed to explore prognostic factors for iCCA ER with a focus on preoperative variables.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent in patients with chronic non-cancer pain. OSA may lead to low sleep quality and an increase in pain sensitivity. Patients reporting greater sleep impairment tend to experience higher pain intensity and vice versa. Positive airway pressure (PAP) is the current gold standard treatment for OSA. This review aims to evaluate the efficacy of PAP therapy in patients with comorbid chronic pain and OSA in influencing pain outcomes like pain intensity, tolerance, threshold, and sensitivity. METHODS: We performed a systematic literature search for studies published after 1990, utilizing the following databases: Medline, Medline In-Process/ePubs, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Search terms included "chronic pain," "sleep disorders," and "positive airway pressure." RESULTS: Of 1982 initial studies, ten studies met the study inclusion criteria. Seven of these studies examined the effect of PAP therapy on chronic pain, of which five demonstrated improved pain outcomes, specifically, headache pain. The effect of PAP therapy on chronic non-headache pain was found to be inconclusive. When examining the three studies that did not involve chronic pain patients, PAP therapy effectively increased pain threshold and tolerance in two studies (p = 0.03 and p = 0.01). CONCLUSION: An association exists between PAP therapy and decreased chronic headache outcomes in patients with OSA. Additionally, research shows that PAP therapy may increase pain tolerance and threshold. Future high-quality evidence is required to further investigate the association between PAP and non-headache chronic pain.

BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder that is highly associated with postoperative complications. The STOP-Bang questionnaire is a simple screening tool for OSA. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the validity of the STOP-Bang questionnaire for screening OSA in the surgical population cohort. METHODS: A systematic search of the following databases was performed from 2008 to May 2021: MEDLINE, Medline-in-process, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, PsycINFO, Journals @ Ovid, Web of Science, Scopus, and CINAHL. Continued literature surveillance was performed through October 2021. RESULTS: The systematic search identified 4641 articles, from which 10 studies with 3247 surgical participants were included in the final analysis. The mean age was 57.3 ± 15.2 years, and the mean BMI was 32.5 ± 10.1 kg/m2 with 47.4% male. The prevalence of all, moderate-to-severe, and severe OSA were 65.2, 37.7, and 17.0%, respectively. The pooled sensitivity of the STOP-Bang questionnaire for all, moderate-to-severe, and severe OSA was 85, 88, and 90%, and the pooled specificities were 47, 29, and 27%, respectively. The area under the curve for all, moderate-to-severe, and severe OSA was 0.84, 0.67, and 0.63. CONCLUSIONS: In the preoperative setting, the STOP-Bang questionnaire is a valid screening tool to detect OSA in patients undergoing surgery, with a high sensitivity and a high discriminative power to reasonably exclude severe OSA with a negative predictive value of 93.2%.

The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyze the effectiveness of contactless vital sign monitors that utilize a consumer-friendly camera versus medical grade instruments. A multiple database search was conducted from inception to September 2020. Inclusion criteria were as follows: studies that used a consumer-grade camera (smartphone/webcam) to examine contactless vital signs in adults; evaluated the non-contact device against a reference medical device; and used the participants' face for measurement. Twenty-six studies were included in the review of which 16 were included in Pearson's correlation and 14 studies were included in the Bland-Altman meta-analysis. Twenty-two studies measured heart rate (HR) (92%), three measured blood pressure (BP) (12%), and respiratory rate (RR) (12%). No study examined blood oxygen saturation (SpO2). Most studies had a small sample size (≤ 30 participants) and were performed in a laboratory setting. Our meta-analysis found that consumer-grade contactless vital sign monitors were accurate in comparison to a medical device in measuring HR. Current contactless monitors have limitations such as motion, poor lighting, and lack of automatic face tracking. Currently available consumer-friendly contactless monitors measure HR accurately compared to standard medical devices. More studies are needed to assess the accuracy of contactless BP and RR monitors. Implementation of contactless vital sign monitors for clinical use will require validation in a larger population, in a clinical setting, and expanded to encompass other vital signs including BP, RR, and SpO2.

One of the most significant limitations of oximeters is their performance under poor perfusion conditions. This systematic review examines pulse oximeter model accuracy in adults under poor perfusion conditions. A multiple database search was conducted from inception to December 2020. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) adult participants (> 18 years) with explicitly stated conditions that cause poor peripheral perfusion (conditions localized at the oximeter placement site; or systemic conditions, including critical conditions such as hypothermia, hypotension, hypovolemia, and vasoconstricting agents use; or experimental conditions) (2) a comparison of arterial oxygen saturation and arterial blood gas values. A total of 22 studies were included and assessed for reliability and agreement using a modified Guidelines for Reporting Reliability and Agreement Studies tool. We calculated the accuracy root mean square error from bias and precision we extracted from the studies. Most oximeters (75%) were deemed accurate in patients with poor perfusion. Modern oximeters utilizing more complex algorithms were more likely to be accurate than older models. Earlobe placement of oximeters seemed more sensitive, with greater measurement accuracy, than on fingertip placement. Only one study controlled for skin pigmentation, and none strictly followed Food and Drug Association recommendations for experiments to determine oximeter accuracy. Oximeters are accurate in poorly perfused patients, especially newer oximeter models and those placed on earlobes. Further studies are needed that examine multiple oximeter models used on a diverse selection of patients while following FDA recommendations to examine oximeter accuracy.

BACKGROUND: Despite persistently poor oncological outcomes, approaches to the management of T4 colonic cancer remain variable, with the role of neoadjuvant therapy unclear. The aim of this review was to compare oncological outcomes between direct-to-surgery and neoadjuvant therapy approaches to T4 colon cancer. METHODS: A librarian-led systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and CINAHL up to 11 February 2020 was performed. Inclusion criteria were primary research articles comparing oncological outcomes between neoadjuvant therapies or direct to surgery for primary T4 colonic cancer. Based on PRISMA guidelines, screening and data abstraction were undertaken in duplicate. Quality assessment was carried out using Cochrane risk-of-bias tools. Random-effects models were used to pool effect estimates. This study compared pathological resection margins, postoperative morbidity, and oncological outcomes of cancer recurrence and overall survival. RESULTS: Four studies with a total of 43 063 patients met the inclusion criteria. Compared with direct to surgery, neoadjuvant therapy was associated with increased rates of margin-negative resection (odds ratio (OR) 2.60, 95 per cent c.i. 1.12 to 6.02; n = 15 487) and 5-year overall survival (pooled hazard ratio 1.42, 1.10 to 1.82, I2 = 0 per cent; n = 15 338). No difference was observed in rates of cancer recurrence (OR 0.42, 0.15 to 1.22; n = 131), 30-day minor (OR 1.12, 0.68 to 1.84; n = 15 488) or major (OR 0.62, 0.27 to 1.44; n = 15 488) morbidity, or rates of treatment-related adverse effects. CONCLUSION: Compared with direct to surgery, neoadjuvant therapy improves margin-negative resection rates and overall survival.

BACKGROUND: Gastric emptying may be delayed in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). However, the incidence of full stomach in fasting patients with DM and their risk of pulmonary aspiration under anaesthesia is not well understood. METHODS: A scoping review was undertaken to map the literature on aspiration risk in DM. A search was conducted in seven bibliographic databases, including MEDLINE and Embase, for original articles that studied aspiration risk, gastric emptying, or gastric content and volume. Selection and characterisation were performed by two independent reviewers using a predefined protocol registered externally. RESULTS: The search identified 5063 unique records, and 16 studies (totalling 775 patients with DM) were selected: nine studied gastric emptying and seven studied gastric content or volume. There were no studies reporting the incidence of aspiration in subjects with DM. All nine studies reported delayed emptying in patients with DM compared with healthy controls. Amongst the seven studies that compared gastric residual content/volume (GRV) in the perioperative period, five reported clinically negligible GRV in both patients with DM and controls, whereas two observed a higher incidence of 'full' stomach in patients with DM. CONCLUSIONS: The evidence concerning the aspiration risk for surgical patients with DM is based on a limited number of studies, mostly unblinded, reporting physiological data on gastric emptying and gastric volume as surrogate markers of aspiration risk. Data on fasting gastric content and volume in patients with DM are limited and contradictory; hence, the true risk of aspiration in fasting patients with DM is unknown.
