Increasing the use of multimodal analgesia during adult surgery in a tertiary academic anaesthesia department

BMJ Open Quality, 2021
Objective Multimodal analgesia pathways have been shown to reduce opioid use and side effects in surgical patients. A quality improvement initiative was implemented to increase the use of multimodal analgesia in adult patients presenting for general ...

Prediction of Post-Operative Renal and Pulmonary Complications Using Transformers [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Postoperative complications pose a significant challenge in the healthcare industry, resulting in elevated healthcare expenses and prolonged hospital stays, and in rare instances, patient mortality. To improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs, healthcare providers rely on various perioperative risk scores to guide clinical decisions and ...

Long-term outcome after intensive care for COVID-19: differences between men and women—a nationwide cohort study

Critical Care, 2021
Background Questions remain about long-term outcome for COVID-19 patients in general, and differences between men and women in particular given the fact that men seem to suffer a more dramatic course of the disease.

Predicting Intraoperative Hypoxemia with Hybrid Inference Sequence Autoencoder Networks [PDF]

Proceedings of the 31th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM), 2022, 2021
We present an end-to-end model using streaming physiological time series to predict near-term risk for hypoxemia, a rare, but life-threatening condition known to cause serious patient harm during surgery. Inspired by the fact that a hypoxemia event is defined based on a future sequence of low SpO2 (i.e., blood oxygen saturation) instances, we propose ...

Improved analgesia and reduced post-operative nausea and vomiting after implementation of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway for total mastectomy

BMC Anesthesiology, 2018
Background Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways have been shown in multiple surgical disciplines to improve outcomes, including reduced opioid consumption, length of stay, and post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV).

Relation between preoperative benzodiazepines and opioids on outcomes after total joint arthroplasty

Scientific Reports, 2021
To examine the association of preoperative opioids and/or benzodiazepines on postoperative outcomes in total knee and hip arthroplasty, we retrospectively compared postoperative outcomes in those prescribed preoperative opioids and/or benzodiazepines ...

Albumin mass balance and kinetics in liver transplantation

Critical Care, 2018
Background In major abdominal surgery albumin is shifted from the circulation, presumably leaking into the interstitial space, contributing to a 30–40% decrease in plasma albumin concentration.

Characteristics and outcome of traumatic cardiac arrest at a level 1 trauma centre over 10 years in Sweden

Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2022
Background Historically, resuscitation in traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA) has been deemed futile. However, recent literature reports improved but varying survival.

Post-trauma morbidity, measured as sick leave, is substantial and influenced by factors unrelated to injury: a retrospective matched observational cohort study

Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2017
Background Mortality as an endpoint has been the focus of trauma research whereas few studies investigate long-term outcomes in terms of morbidity. An adequate analysis of post-injury morbidity includes several dimensions, for this reason sick leave has ...
