Whether this accounts for nonlaparoscopic surgery is not known. Additionally, the effect on clinical and patient-reported outcomes remains debated. In this study, the effect of deep NMB compared to moderate NMB during total hip arthroplasty (THA) on quality of recovery and postoperative inflammation is investigated.METHODSThis single-center randomized controlled blinded trial comprised 100 patients undergoing THA treated with deep NMB (posttetanic count 1-2) or moderate NMB (train-of-four 1-2). Continuous or bolus administration of rocuronium was used. The primary end point was quality of recovery on postoperative day 1 (POD1), measured by the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) questionnaire. The secondary end points were innate immune function and pain scores on POD1, measured by ex vivo production capacity of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin (IL)-1β on whole blood stimulation with lipopolysaccharide and postoperative pain as rated by the numeric rating scale.RESULTSThere was no difference in QoR-40 score on POD1 (mean difference -4.1, 95% confidence interval -10.9 to 2.8, P = .241). On POD 1, there was no difference in ex vivo production capacity of TNF (moderate NMB median [quartiles] 890 [532-1605] pg/mL, deep NMB 1113 [651-1716] pg/mL, P = .34, Mann-Whitney U test, median difference -125, 95% confidence interval [CI], -440 to 155) and IL-1β (moderate NMB 1148 [545-1970] pg/mL, deep NMB median 1386 [826-1940] pg/mL, P = .36, median difference [MD] -135, 95% CI, -470 to 191) on lipopolysaccharide stimulation. On POD1, there was no statistically significant difference in pain scores at rest (MD 1.10, 99.6% CI, -0.53 to 2.74, P = .049) and on movement (MD 0.94, 99.6% CI, -0.63 to 2.50, P = .080).CONCLUSIONSNo evidence was found for a beneficial effect of deep NMB compared to moderate NMB in THA regarding quality of recovery or postoperative inflammation.","PeriodicalId":7799,"journal":{"name":"Anesthesia & Analgesia","volume":"109 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144652286","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}

We implemented a 24-hour remote continuous monitoring service for high-risk inpatients (HIVE) to allow monitoring in general wards. This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the HIVE service.METHODSWe compared scoliosis surgery patients admitted pre- and postimplementation of the HIVE service and applied multivariable regression to adjust for differences in baseline characteristics. The primary outcome was incremental cost per ICU hour avoided.RESULTSWe compared 155 patients admitted postimplementation to 133 admitted preimplementation. In the adjusted analysis, the post-HIVE implementation period avoided 27.1 hours in ICU and reduced overall health care costs by AU$2682 (US$2164) per patient, compared with preimplementation. There were no statistically significant differences in hospital length of stay (rate ratio [RR], 1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.93-1.11; P = .785), emergency readmissions (odds ratio [OR], 0.93; 95% CI, 0.44-1.99; P = .854), or hospital-acquired complications (OR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.27-1.66; P = .393).CONCLUSIONSIn scoliosis surgery, the implementation of a remote continuous inpatient monitoring service reduced inpatient costs and hours in ICU. In this group of patients, the HIVE service provides economic evidence of the cost-effectiveness of remote monitoring.","PeriodicalId":7799,"journal":{"name":"Anesthesia & Analgesia","volume":"677 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144652517","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}
