This study looked at whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help doctors better diagnose ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Researchers used a deep-learning AI to analyze chest X-rays taken before and at the time of VAP diagnosi…

This study looked at 90 adults having knee replacement surgery to see which nerve block technique works better for pain and getting patients moving sooner. One group got a fascia iliaca block, the other got a combination of adductor canal and IPACK blocks. The main goal was to me…

This study tested two ways to control pain after heart bypass surgery. 72 adults received either a standard chest-wall block or that block plus an additional side-chest block. Researchers measured pain scores and how much pain medicine patients needed in the first 24 hours after …

This study looked at 60 adults having lung surgery to compare two types of pain blocks: Edge Laminar Block and Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block. Researchers measured pain levels, opioid use, nausea, and patient satisfaction after surgery. The goal is to find wh…

This study looked at 94 women having major abdominal surgery for gynecologic cancers to see which pain-relieving nerve block combination works best. Researchers compared a standard block (TAP) alone versus TAP combined with either a quadratus lumborum block or a rectus sheath blo…

This study tested if a doctor's calm, positive words during a colonoscopy (done without sedation) can lower patients' pain and anxiety. Over 100 adults were split into two groups: one heard encouraging phrases like "You're doing great," while the other had standard care. The goal…

This study looked at 100 adults having gastrointestinal cancer surgery to see if sarcopenia (muscle loss) changes how muscle relaxants work during anesthesia. Researchers used CT scans to group patients as sarcopenic or not, then measured how fast the drugs worked and how long th…

This study looked at 330 older adults (65+) who had cancer surgery to see if low albumin levels before surgery led to more complications. Researchers compared patients with low albumin to those with normal levels, tracking complications, hospital stay length, and ICU needs. The g…

This study looked at whether a simple frailty test (Edmonton Frailty Index) can predict complications after colorectal cancer surgery in people aged 65 and older. Researchers followed 200 patients for 30 days after surgery to track problems like infections, heart issues, and leng…

This study looked at 80 people having major abdominal cancer surgery, either with a small camera (laparoscopic) or a large cut (open). Doctors used a thin tube placed in the food pipe to measure heart function while patients were lying flat or tilted head-down. The goal was to se…

This study looked at 180 older adults (65+) having major abdominal cancer surgery to see if giving fluids based on real-time body readings helps prevent confusion or memory problems after surgery. Some patients received standard care, while others got fluids tailored to their nee…

This study looked at whether the ARISCAT risk score can predict lung complications (like pneumonia or collapsed lung) after major abdominal cancer surgery. Researchers followed 410 adults who had surgery under general anesthesia. The goal was to see if this simple scoring system …

This study checked if a blue dye called methylene blue, which is often used to find lymph nodes during breast cancer surgery, affects blood pressure and heart rate while patients are under anesthesia. Researchers compared 220 women who got the dye with those who did not. The goal…

This study looked at 50 women with breast cancer who had a lumpectomy. Researchers compared two types of anesthesia—general anesthesia and a nerve block called PECS—to see how each affected white blood cell counts before and after surgery. The goal was to learn if the choice of a…

This study looked at 12,500 cancer patients who had a type of heart attack called non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Researchers compared two treatment approaches: invasive procedures like angiography and stenting versus medication-only care. The goal was to see which approa…

This study looked at 1,000 patients who had hip fracture surgery to see if an artificial intelligence (AI) model could better predict their risk of dying within 30 days or one year after surgery, compared to traditional methods. The AI analyzed patient data like age, health condi…

This study looked at 45 women having gynecological surgery under general anesthesia. Researchers compared a standard brain monitor (BIS) that gives a single number to a newer monitor (DSA) that shows a detailed color map of brain waves. The goal was to see if the DSA monitor help…

This study looked at how a lower amount of sevoflurane gas (a type of anesthesia) affects breathing and oxygen levels in 50 adults having lung surgery where only one lung is used for breathing. The goal was to see if low-flow anesthesia is safe and might reduce breathing problems…

This study observed 120 women having mastectomy for breast cancer to see if the gender of their anesthesiologist and the type of pain relief used affected their pain levels and need for painkillers after surgery. Researchers measured pain at several points in the first 24 hours a…

This study looked at 100 patients aged 80 and older who had major abdominal surgery to find out what factors best predict death within 30 days. Researchers focused on frailty (a measure of physical weakness) and physiological reserve (body's ability to handle stress) using simple…

This study tested a way to give anesthesia during heart surgery using much less gas than usual. 92 adults having planned heart surgery were split into two groups: one got standard gas flow, the other got ultra-low flow. The goal was to see if the low-flow method safely reduces th…

This study looked back at medical records of 239 patients aged 65 and older who had major abdominal surgery. The goal was to find out what factors make lung complications like pneumonia more likely after surgery. By identifying these risks, doctors can better prepare and care for…
