This study tested a newer sedative called ciprofol against the standard drug propofol for general anesthesia in 124 older adults undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The goal was to see if ciprofol causes less low blood pressure and fewer side effects after a…

This study looked at whether a non-invasive heart monitor works as well as the standard invasive one during C-sections with spinal anesthesia. 45 women having planned C-sections were monitored with both methods. The goal was to see if the newer, needle-free device gives accurate …

This study compared two monitors—one from an artery line and one from a finger clip—to see which better predicts if giving fluids will help the heart pump during laparoscopic abdominal surgery. About 300 adults having planned surgery took part. The goal is to learn which method i…

This study looked at 80 severely obese adults having laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (weight-loss surgery). Researchers measured heart electrical activity and blood pressure as patients were moved into different positions during the operation. The goal was to understand how posit…

This study looked back at medical records of 18 intensive care patients who received hydroxocobalamin (a form of vitamin B12) for severe vasodilatory shock, a condition where blood vessels widen too much and blood pressure drops dangerously. The goal was to see if the treatment c…

This study looked at 180 older adults (65+) having major abdominal cancer surgery to see if giving fluids based on real-time body signals (goal-directed fluid therapy) helps prevent short-term memory and thinking problems after surgery. Patients received either this personalized …

This study looked at whether ultrasound can help doctors decide which children on breathing machines need extra fluids. Only about half of these children respond to fluids, and too much fluid can be harmful. The researchers tested ultrasound methods used in adults to see if they …
