Volume 127, Issue 3, September 2021, Pages 376-385
European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESC/ESA) guidelines inform cardiac workup before noncardiac surgery based on an algorithm. Our primary hypotheses were that there would be associations between (i) the groups stratified according to the algorithms and major adverse cardiac events (MACE), and (ii) over- and underuse of cardiac testing and MACE.

Intraoperative EEG suppression duration has been associated with postoperative delirium and mortality. In a clinical trial testing anaesthesia titration to avoid EEG suppression, the intervention did not decrease the incidence of postoperative delirium, but was associated with reduced 30-day mortality. The present study evaluated whether the EEG-guided anaesthesia intervention was also associated with reduced 1-yr mortality.
Association of the intraoperative peripheral perfusion index with postoperative morbidity and mortality in acute surgical patients: a retrospective observational multicentre cohort study
MarianneAgerskov1Anna N.W.Thusholdt1HenrikHolm-S?rensen2SebastianWiberg1Christian S.Meyhoff3JakobH?jlund1Niels H.Secher4Nicolai B.Foss1
doi : 10.1016/j.bja.2021.06.004
Volume 127, Issue 3, September 2021, Pages 396-404
We hypothesised that in acute high-risk surgical patients, a lower intraoperative peripheral perfusion index (PPI) would indicate a higher risk of postoperative complications and mortality.
Association between perioperative allogeneic red blood cell transfusion and infection after clean-contaminated surgery: a retrospective cohort study
XiaohanXu1†YuelunZhang2†JiaGan3XiangyangYe4XuerongYu1YuguangHuang1
doi : 10.1016/j.bja.2021.05.031
Volume 127, Issue 3, September 2021, Pages 405-414
Allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion can induce immunosuppression, which can then increase the susceptibility to postoperative infection. However, studies in different types of surgery show conflicting results regarding this effect.

Preoperative inflammatory mediators and postoperative delirium: systematic review and meta-analysis

Volume 127, Issue 3, September 2021, Pages 424-434
Postoperative delirium has eluded attempts to define its complex aetiology and describe specific risk factors. The role of neuroinflammation as a risk factor, determined by measuring blood levels of preoperative ‘innate’ inflammatory mediator levels, has been investigated. However, results have been conflicting. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence on associations between preoperative blood levels of inflammatory mediators and postoperative delirium in the older person. Influence of type of surgery was also assessed.
Differential effects of the novel neurosteroid hypnotic (3?,5?,17?)-3-hydroxyandrostane-17-carbonitrile on electroencephalogram activity in male and female rats

We recently showed that a neurosteroid analogue, (3?,5?,17?)-3-hydroxyandrostane-17-carbonitrile (3?-OH), induced hypnosis in rats. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the hypnotic and anaesthetic potential of 3?-OH further using electroencephalography.
Astrogliosis in juvenile non-human primates 2 years after infant anaesthesia exposure
ViolaNeudecker1†Jose F.Perez-Zoghbi1†Lauren D.Martin2Gregory A.Dissen2Marjorie R.Grafe3Ansgar M.Brambrink1

Volume 127, Issue 3, September 2021, Pages 447-457
Infant anaesthesia causes acute brain cell apoptosis, and later in life cognitive deficits and behavioural alterations, in non-human primates (NHPs). Various brain injuries and neurodegenerative conditions are characterised by chronic astrocyte activation (astrogliosis). Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), an astrocyte-specific protein, increases during astrogliosis and remains elevated after an injury. Whether infant anaesthesia is associated with a sustained increase in GFAP is unknown. We hypothesised that GFAP is increased in specific brain areas of NHPs 2 yr after infant anaesthesia, consistent with prior injury.
An integrative review of method types used in the study of medication error during anaesthesia: implications for estimating incidence

Volume 127, Issue 3, September 2021, Pages 458-469
To meet the WHO vision of reducing medication errors by 50%, it is essential to know the current error rate. We undertook an integrative review of the literature, using a systematic search strategy. We included studies that provided an estimate of error rate (i.e. both numerator and denominator data), regardless of type of study (e.g. RCT or observational study). Under each method type, we categorised the error rate by type, by classification used by the primary studies (e.g. wrong drug, wrong dose, wrong time), and then pooled numerator and denominator data across studies to obtain an aggregate error rate for each method type. We included a total of 30 studies in this review. Of these, two studies were national audit projects containing relevant data, and for 28 studies we identified five discrete method types: retrospective recall (6), self-reporting (7), observational (5), large databases (7), and observing for drug calculation errors (3). Of these 28 studies we included 22 for a numerical analysis and used six to inform a narrative review. Drug error is recalled by ~1 in 5 anaesthetists as something that happened over their career; in self-reports there is an admitted rate of ~1 in 200 anaesthetics. In observed practice, error is seen in almost every anaesthetic. In large databases, drug error constitutes ~10% of anaesthesia incidents reported. Wrong drug or dose form the most common type of error across all five study method types (especially dosing error in paediatric studies). We conclude that medication error is common in anaesthetic practice, although we were uncertain of the precise frequency or extent of harm. Studies concerning medication error are very heterogenous, and we recommend consideration of standardised reporting as in other research domains.

Volume 127, Issue 3, September 2021, Pages 479-486
There are scant data on the dimensional compatibility of cricothyroidotomy equipment and related airway anatomy. We compared the dimensional design of devices for cricothyroidotomy with anatomical airway data for adult patients.
A Bayesian analysis of mortality outcomes in multicentre clinical trials in critical care

doi : 10.1016/j.bja.2021.06.026
Volume 127, Issue 3, September 2021, Pages 487-494
Multicentre RCTs are widely used by critical care researchers to answer important clinical questions. However, few trials evaluating mortality outcomes report statistically significant results. We hypothesised that the low proportion of trials reporting statistically significant differences for mortality outcomes is plausibly explained by lower-than-expected effect sizes combined with a low proportion of participants who could realistically benefit from studied interventions.
