Diagnostic value of the percentage of glottic opening score for classifying videolaryngoscopy in children: a prospective validation study

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction The percentage of glottic opening (POGO) score quantifies the laryngeal view obtained during laryngoscopy. This secondary analysis of the prospective observational PeDiAC study aimed to compare the POGO score with subjective glottic view ratings on a visual analogue scale (VAS) for classifying difficult videolaryngoscopic tracheal ...

Platelet function in patients undergoing major non‐cardiac vascular surgery (PLUGS): a prospective cohort study*

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Patients who require major vascular surgery often receive antiplatelet therapy for primary or secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Clopidogrel resistance and variability in platelet recovery after drug discontinuation pose clinical challenges, particularly for regional anaesthesia and blood management.

Pre‐operative three‐dimensional face scans for predicting difficult facemask ventilation: a prospective development study

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Facemask ventilation is a key airway management skill but predicting difficulty can be challenging. Pre‐operative three‐dimensional face scanning may have diagnostic value. We aimed to identify interpretable facial shape features and to quantify their value for predicting difficult facemask ventilation.

Sugammadex vs. neostigmine and the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications after upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures: a propensity score matched analysis of 15,730 patients

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Postoperative pulmonary complications after upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures under general anaesthesia are clinically important and may be exacerbated by residual neuromuscular block. We evaluated whether antagonism of neuromuscular block with sugammadex rather than neostigmine is associated with improved respiratory ...

Assessing Cognitive Workload and Performance in the Operating Room: Challenges in Applying NASA‐TLX Among Experienced Surgeons

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Surgical performance and cognitive workload (CWL) are central determinants of operative outcomes. Most prior studies have relied on simulated environments, limiting their clinical relevance. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA‐TLX) to ...

Changes in Surgical Admissions and Outcomes During and After the COVID‐19 Pandemic: An Exploration of the Australian and New Zealand Audit of Surgical Mortality (ANZASM)

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives The effect of COVID‐19 lockdown periods on surgical admission patterns in the Australian healthcare system has been relatively unexplored. The impact of these lockdowns was investigated via analysis of a surgical mortality dataset. Setting All cases that had completed the evaluation process by 4 March 2025 (patient death between 1 ...
