Bicarbonate-buffered solution versus Plasma-LyteTM in orthotopic adult liver transplantation: a pilot open-label, randomized, non-inferiority trial Open
Background: The ideal intravenous maintenance and resuscitation fluid for patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) remains unknown. We aimed to determine whether bicarbonate-buffered solution was non-inferior to Plasma-Ly…

Effective utilisation of rapid infusion catheters in perioperative care: a narrative review Open
The Rapid Infusion Catheter (RIC) has transformed intravenous (i.v.) access, allowing for rapid fluid delivery peripherally. It may negate the need for a central vein sheath to be placed. This review explores the clinical utility of RICs w…

Intraoperative low tidal volume ventilation and the risk of ICD-10 coded delirium and the use for antipsychotic medications Open
Background Low tidal volume (V T ) ventilation and its associated increase in arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO 2 ) may affect postoperative neurologic function. We aimed to test the hypothesis that intraoperative low V T ventilation affect th…

Frequency of hyperoxaemia during and after major surgery Open
The oxygen concentration (FiO 2 ) and arterial oxygen tension (PaO 2 ) delivered in patients undergoing major surgery is poorly understood. We aimed to assess current practice with regard to the delivered FiO 2 and the resulting PaO 2 in p…
