We retrospectively extracted the information for patients with age ≥ 65 years who had inpatient non-cardiac surgery with a duration of ≥ 1 h from the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program registry data acquired at the University of Washington Medical Center. We compared patients who received NSAIDs perioperatively to those who did not receive NSAIDs, on the two composite outcomes: (1) the incidence of postoperative cardiovascular complications within 30 days of the surgery, and (2) the incidence of combined postoperative gastrointestinal and renal complications, and length of postoperative hospital stay. We used separate multivariable logistic regression models to analyze the two composite outcomes and a Poisson regression model for the length of hospital stay. The receipt of perioperative NSAIDs was not associated with postoperative cardiovascular complications (estimated odds ratio (OR), 1.78; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.97 to 3.25; P = 0.06), combined renal and gastrointestinal complications (estimated OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 0.53 to 3.20; P = 0.57), and length of postoperative hospital stay in days (incidence rate ratio, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.93 to 1.21; P = 0.39). In older adult non-cardiac surgical patients, receipt of perioperative NSAIDs was not associated with increased incidences of postoperative cardiovascular complications, and renal and gastrointestinal complications within 30 days after surgery, or length of postoperative hospital stay.","PeriodicalId":14635,"journal":{"name":"JA Clinical Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140841995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initial MEP monitoring after prone positioning revealed markedly prolonged latency and lower amplitude in the left abductor pollicis brevis (APB). Because the left upper limb somatosensory-evoked potentials had normal values, a position-related impending peripheral nerve injury located between the neck and the forearm was excluded.

Low pump flow in patients on extracorporeal life support (ECLS) with LV apex decompression is a life-threatening issue. However, identifying the underlying causes of low flow can be challenging. A 38-year-old woman with COVID-19-related fulminant myocarditis was treated with central ECLS with LV apex decompression. The pump flow in the intensive care unit (ICU) was intermittently low, and low flow alerts were frequent. The initial evaluation based on pressure monitor waveforms and transthoracic echocardiography failed to identify the underlying cause. Prompt bedside transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed that the anterolateral papillary muscle was suctioned into the vent cannula of the LV apex during systole. The patient underwent a repeat sternal midline incision in the operating room, and the cannula at the LV apex was repositioned. There were no further suction events after the repositioning, and the patient was weaned from ECLS 12 days after admission to the ICU. The patient was discharged in a stable condition and without neurological deficits. TEE is an important diagnostic tool to identify the underlying cause of low flow flow in patients undergoing ECLS with LV apex decompression.","PeriodicalId":14635,"journal":{"name":"JA Clinical Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140576090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ultrasound-guided catheter insertion is commonly performed using an in-plane or out-of-plane approach [1]. However, it is unclear which approach is more effective.

On ultrasound, due to the surgical wound, the posterior sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle could not be visualized well in the long-axis view with a linear probe; thus, we placed two catheters (left and right sides) under the short-axis view of the rectus sheath muscle using an out-of-plane approach, while injecting a small amount of drug solution to confirm the tips of needle. When we advanced the needle to the proper location, we observed the spread of local anesthetic (0.25% levobupivacaine, 20 mL per one side) along the rectal sheath. Then, we inserted the catheter, rigidly holding the needle in place so it would not shift from its position. However, the tip of the catheter was not clearly visible on ultrasound, and we did not evaluate the spread of local anesthetics administered through the catheter. On the Postoperative Day 1, routine postoperative computed tomography revealed that the right catheter had strayed into the abdominal cavity (Fig. 1).
