The efficacy of loco-regional ropivacaine analgesia via intercostal catheters after lung resection: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, superiority study Open
OBJECTIVES Postoperative pain remains a burden for patients after minimally invasive anatomic lung resection. Current guidelines recommend the intraoperative placement of intercostal catheters to promote faster recovery. This trial aimed t…

Loco-Regional Ropivacaine Analgesia Via a Surgically Placed Intercostal Catheter after Anatomic Lung Resection: Prospective, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind; Randomized Superiority Trial Open
Background Even after minimally invasive anatomic lung resection, pain remains a burden for patients. Current guidelines recommend the surgical placement of intercostal catheters at the end of the surgery to promote faster recovery after l…

Clinical guideline on reversal of direct oral anticoagulants in patients with life threatening bleeding Open
BACKGROUND Anticoagulation is essential for the treatment and prevention of thromboembolic events. Current guidelines recommend direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) over vitamin K antagonists in DOAC-eligible patients. The major complication…

NT-proBNP or Self-Reported Functional Capacity in Estimating Risk of Cardiovascular Events After Noncardiac Surgery Open
Importance Nearly 16 million surgical procedures are conducted in North America yearly, and postoperative cardiovascular events are frequent. Guidelines suggest functional capacity or B-type natriuretic peptides (BNP) to guide perioperativ…
View article: Impact of beta blockers on perioperative complications in patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery
Impact of beta blockers on perioperative complications in patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery Open
Introduction Beta blockers (BB) are broadly used in patients with cardiovascular disease because they are known to decrease myocardial oxygen consumption by decreasing heart rate and myocardial contractility. Pilot studies have shown confl…
