Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is routinely applied in mechanically ventilated patients to improve gas exchange and respiratory mechanics by increasing lung volume (EELV). In a recent experimental study rats, we demonstrated that prolonged application of PEEP causes diaphragm remodeling, especially longitudinal muscle fiber atrophy. This potential clinical importance, as the acute withdrawal during ventilator weaning decreases EELV thereby stretches adapted, longitudinally atrophied...
Objective: To study the effects of intra-abdominal pressure on quality recovery and innate cytokine production capacity after laparoscopic colorectal surgery within enhanced program. Background: There is increasing evidence for safety advantages low-pressure pneumoperitoneum facilitated by deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB). Nonetheless, there a weak understanding relationship between clinical outcomes, surgical injury, postoperative immune dysfunction, infectious complications. Methods:...
Increasing evidence shows that postoperative innate immune dysregulation is associated with delayed recovery and infectious complications. The aim of this study was to compare the effects general versus spinal anesthesia on function during after total hip arthroplasty (THA). This comparative matched cohort used data from two single-center randomized-controlled trials. Patients control group HIPPO received were patients MAGIC who in a 2:1 ratio (general(n = 18); spinal(n 9)). Immune assessed...
Postoperative immunosuppression is a well known phenomenon associated with infectious complications. Peri-operative immune dysregulation likely induced by surgical damage and anaesthetics, but remains far from comprehensively characterised. To address this, the effects of individual drugs on function must be explored. Sugammadex, cyclodextrin that encapsulates rocuronium, also binds other structures may influence inflammatory response. Investigate potential immunomodulatory effect...
In Brief BACKGROUND: Many supralaryngeal airway devices are available. Because of the absence an inflatable cuff, we hypothesized that use i-gel® should produce fewer postoperative throat and neck complaints compared with a standard disposable laryngeal mask (LM). METHODS: Two hundred eighteen patients were randomized to have either i-gel or La Premiere® LM placed for management. Patients interviewed postoperatively at 1, 24, 48 h. Interviewers blinded device used. RESULTS: One nine had 103...
Objective Previous studies identified different typologies of role models (as teacher/supervisor, physician and person) explored which faculty's characteristics could distinguish good models. The aim this study was to explore how extent clinical teaching performance influences residents' evaluations modelling statuses, especially across specialties. Methods In a prospective multicenter multispecialty performance, we used web-based questionnaires gather empirical data from residents. main...
Abstract Background Breast cancer is the second most common cause of death from in women worldwide. Counterintuitively, large population-based retrospective trials report better survival after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) compared to mastectomy, corrected for tumour- and patient variables. More extensive surgical tissue injury activation sympathetic nervous system by nociceptive stimuli are associated with immune suppression. We hypothesized that mastectomy causes a higher expression...
To compare the effectiveness of low intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) facilitated by deep neuromuscular block (NMB) to standard practice in improving quality recovery, preserving immune function, and enhancing parietal perfusion during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Background Increasing evidence supports a positive relationship between the intensity of early postoperative pain, and risk 30-day complications. Higher pain levels may hamper recovery contribute to immunosuppression after surgery. This leaves patients at Methods One thousand who underwent major abdominal surgery (cytoreductive hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, esophageal, liver, or pancreas surgery) Radboud university medical center were randomly selected from eligible 2014 2020....
Background: The degradation of sevoflurane can lead to the production compound A (CA) and carbon monoxide (CO) an increase in temperature absorbent. CA is known be nephrotoxic rats. These reactions depend on strong base water contents dioxide absorbent used. purpose this study was measure maximum amounts CO produced, increase, for seven different absorbents containing bases. Methods: Seven [some free bases (f)] were employed hydrated (h) completely desiccated (d) conditions a patient model,...
Summary Recently, we described an adaptation of awake fibreoptic intubation that call fibrecapnic intubation. The aim this study was to evaluate the efficacy and risk complications with novel technique in a consecutive case series head neck cancer patients known have difficult airways. We prospectively studied 40 intubations prior diagnostic or surgical procedure. Following topical anaesthesia, flexible bronchoscope introduced into pharynx; spontaneous respiration maintained all patients. A...
Conflicting data exist regarding the effects of deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) on abdominal dimensions during laparoscopic procedures. We performed a clinical study to establish influence moderate and working space, measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), donor nephrectomy with standard pressure (12 mmHg) pneumoperitoneum under sevoflurane anaesthesia.Ten patients were intraoperatively scanned three times in lateral decubitus position, maintained mobile insufflator. The first scan...

There is accumulating evidence that deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) improves intraoperative surgical conditions during laparoscopic surgery. Studies investigating the effects of NMB in open surgery are scarce. In theory, by limiting damage through deeper muscle relaxation, postoperative inflammation and concomitant immune suppression can be reduced. Therefore, this study will investigate total hip arthroplasty, which demands a relatively large exposure joint between muscles.This monocentre...
