Evidence-Based Guideline on Laparoscopy in Pregnancy: Commissioned by the British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (BSGE) Endorsed by the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists (RCOG).

Laparoscopy is widely utilised to diagnose and treat acute and chronic, gynaecological and general surgical conditions. It has only been in recent years that laparoscopy has become an acceptable surgical alternative to open surgery in pregnancy. To date there is little clinical guidance pertaining to laparoscopic surgery in pregnancy. This is why the BSGE commissioned this guideline. MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and the Cochrane library were searched up to February 2017 and evidence was collated and graded following the NICE-approved process. The conditions included in this guideline are laparoscopic management of acute appendicitis, acute gall bladder disease and symptomatic benign adnexal tumours in pregnancy. The intended audience for this guideline is obstetricians and gynaecologists in secondary and tertiary care, general surgeons and anaesthetists. However, only laparoscopists who have adequate laparoscopic skills and who perform complex laparoscopic surgery regularly should undertake laparoscopy in pregnant women, since much of the evidence stems from specialised centres.

Time course of recovery during cardiac rehabilitation.

PURPOSE: Exercise-based rehabilitation programs improve effort tolerance in patients with cardiovascular disease. Little is known regarding the time course of recovery of objective and subjective indices of exercise tolerance. METHODS: Twenty-six patients were studied at 0, 4, 8, and 12 weeks following early entry into rehabilitation following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABGS), or valve surgery. Exercise tolerance was assessed objectively by percent predicted cycle power output (%PO), and subjectively by a self-efficacy questionnaire for ambulatory (ASE) and muscular (MSE) items and by a disease-specific, health-related, quality-of-life questionnaire (HRQL). RESULTS: With the exception of percent predicted cycle power output, all exercise tolerance measures improved throughout the rehabilitation program. Extrapolation of recovery curves suggest that recovery to 85% predicted can be achieved in 10, 11, 18, and 21 weeks for a disease-specific, health-related, quality-of-life questionnaire, self-efficacy questionnaire for ambulatory items, muscular items, and power output, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The data demonstrate that evaluation of both objective and subjective indices of exercise tolerance may be important in documenting outcomes of participation in structured rehabilitation programs. The time course of recovery of objective and subjective indices of exercise tolerance may not be highly correlated.
