Abstract Background Antibiotics may be indicated in patients with COVID-19 due to suspected or confirmed bacterial superinfection. Objectives To investigate antibiotic prescribing practices COVID-19. Methods We performed an international web-based survey and investigated the pattern of use as reported by physicians involved treatment SPSS Statistics version 25 was used for data analysis. Results The completed 166 participants from 23 countries 82 different hospitals. Local guidelines were...
Background A debate about the scientific quality of COVID-19 themed research has emerged. We explored whether evidence publications is lower when compared to nonCOVID-19 in three highest ranked medical journals. Methods searched PubMed Database from March 12 April 12, 2020 and identified 559 New England Journal Medicine, American Medical Association, The Lancet which were divided into (cases, n = 204) (controls, 355) associated content. After exclusion secondary, unauthored, response letters...
Women make up an increasing proportion of the physician workforce in anaesthesia, but they are consistently under-represented leadership and governance.We performed internet-based survey to investigate career opportunities research amongst anaesthesiologists. We also explored gender bias attributable workplace attitudes economic factors. The instrument was piloted, translated into seven languages, uploaded SurveyMonkey® platform. aimed collect between 7800 13 700 responses from at least 100...
Pulmonary aspiration of gastric content is a significant cause anaesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. High-quality prospective randomised evidence to support prevention strategies, such as rapid sequence intubation, difficult generate due well-described practical, ethical methodological barriers. We aimed an understanding worldwide practice through surveying clinically practicing anaesthetists airway experts. Our survey was designed assess the influence of: departmental standards;...
Background Interprofessional Education (IPE) aims to improve students' attitudes towards collaboration, teamwork, and leads improved patient care upon graduation. However, the best time introduce IPE into undergraduate curriculum is still under debate. Methods We used a mixed-methods design based on sequential explanatory model. Medical students from all six years at University of Bern, Switzerland (n = 683) completed an online survey about interprofessional learning using scale validated...
Postoperative delirium (POD) following surgery is a prevalent and distressing condition associated with adverse patient outcomes an increased healthcare burden. To assess the effectiveness of Safe Brain Initiative care bundle (SBI-CB) in reducing POD postanesthesia unit (PACU). A multicenter, quality-improvement initiative retrospective analysis collected data. The study was conducted operating rooms units (PACUs) four hospitals across Denmark Turkey. convenience sample patients were aged...
Purpose of review This navigates the landscape precision anaesthesia, emphasising tailored and individualized approaches to anaesthetic administration. The aim is elucidate medicine principles, applications, potential advancements in anaesthesia. focuses on current state, challenges, transformative opportunities Recent findings explores evidence supporting drawing insights from neuroscientific fields. It probes correlation between high-dose intraoperative opioids increased postoperative...
Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs) are common complications after surgery and anaesthesia, particularly in older adults, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, healthcare costs. Therefore, major medical societies have developed recommendations for the prevention treatment of PNDs. Our study evaluated reliability large language models, specifically ChatGPT-4 Gemini, generating PND management comparing them with published guidelines. We conducted an online cross-sectional...
The post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) refers to the long-term physical, psychological and cognitive impairments experienced by intensive unit (ICU) survivors, while PICS-Family (PICS-F) affects their family members. Despite preventive strategies during ICU stay, PICS remains a significant concern impacting survivors’ quality of life, increasing healthcare costs, complicating recovery. Prehabilitation offers promising approach mitigating PICS-F, especially when stay can be anticipated, such...

Introduction The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has exposed healthcare professionals (HCPs) to exceptional situations that can lead increased anxiety (ie, infection and perceived vulnerability), traumatic stress depression. We will investigate the development of these psychological disturbances in HCPs at treatment front line second during over a 12-month period different countries. Additionally, we explore whether personal resilience factors work-related sense coherence influence mental...
Background The aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect millions worldwide, resulting in persisting postvirus complaints and impacting peoples’ quality life. Long COVID, characterized by lingering symptoms like fatigue mental illness, can extend beyond a few months, necessitating further research understand its implications. Objective This study aims quantify degree physical psychological patients following infection examine correlation with health disorders. Methods Using...
Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being integrated into anesthesiology to enhance patient safety, improve efficiency, and streamline various aspects of practice. Objective This study aims evaluate whether AI-generated images accurately depict the demographic racial ethnic diversity observed in Anesthesia workforce identify inherent social biases these images. Methods cross-sectional analysis was conducted from January February 2024. Demographic data were collected...
Abstract Background Incidence of in-hospital cardiac arrest is reported to be 0.8 4.6 per 1,000 patient admissions. Patient survival hospital discharge with favourable functional and neurological status around 21–30%. The Bern University Hospital a tertiary medical centre in Switzerland team that available 24 h day, 7 days week. Due lack central documentation interventions, the incidence, outcomes rates arrests are unknown. Our aim was record all interventions over 1 year, analyse outcome...
(1) Background: During a pandemic, the wellbeing of healthcare professionals is crucial. We investigated long-term association Work-related Sense Coherence (Work-SoC) and evolution psychological health symptoms acute care during first year COVID-19 pandemic. (2) Methods: This longitudinal observational study enrolled 520 multinational professionals, who completed an online survey every three months from April 2020 to 2021. Mixed linear models examined associations between Work-SOC...
This article aims to introduce the Safe Brain Initiative (SBI) approach, focusing on collecting and leveraging Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) enhance patient-centred precision anaesthesia prevent postoperative delirium (POD) neurocognitive disorders (NCD). The SBI was implemented systematically address feedback gap in perioperative care by analysing real-world data. initiative focuses monitoring preventing POD NCD, providing effective care, assessing patient team satisfaction,...
Professional burnout syndrome (PBS) is an issue affecting individuals and organizations alike, characterized by emotional exhaustion reduced effectiveness resulting from overwhelming work demands.Root causes include excessive workload, unrealistic expectations, blurred work-life boundaries, which are often intensified organizational culture inadequate support systems.The consequences range decreased productivity creativity to high turnover rates financial strain on organizations.Mitigating...
Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into intensive care practices can enhance patient by providing real-time predictions and aiding clinical decisions. However, biases in AI models undermine diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) efforts, particularly visual representations of healthcare professionals. This work aims to examine the demographic representation two text-to-image models, Midjourney ChatGPT DALL-E 2, assess their accuracy depicting characteristics intensivists.
