Abstract
INTRODUCTION Impairment in neurocognitive functions ranges between delayed neurocognitive recovery (DNR) and postoperative neurocognitive disorders (pNCD). Incidence varies from 11% after noncardiac surgery to 60% after cardiac surgery. AREAS COVERED Insulin receptors (IRs) signaling pathway in the central nervous system (CNS) could be a possible pathophysiological mechanism of anesthesia-induced DNR/pNCD and perioperative intranasal insulin administration could be a preventive approach. This hypothesis is supported by the following evidence: effects of IRs-CNS signaling pathway on neuromodulation; higher incidence of DNR/pNCD in patients with insulin resistance; neurotoxicity of IRs signaling pathways after anesthetic exposure; improvement of neurocognitive impairment after insulin exposure. This narrative review was conducted after a literature search of PubMed, EMBASE and SCOPUS online medical data performed in May 2022. EXPERT OPINION Perioperative intranasal insulin is shown to be protective and future studies should address: the role of insulin as a neuromodulator; its integration into neuroprotection approaches; patient populations that might benefit from this approach; a well-defined protocol of intranasal insulin administration in a perioperative background and other disciplines; and possible collateral effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe headaches are common after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Guidelines recommend treatment with acetaminophen and opioids, but patient data show that headaches often persist despite multimodal treatment approaches. Considering an overall slim body of data for a common complaint affecting patients with SAH during their intensive care stay, we set out to assess practice patterns in headache management among clinicians who treat patients with SAH. METHODS We conducted an international cross-sectional study through a 37-question Web-based survey distributed to members of five professional societies relevant to intensive and neurocritical care from November 2021 to January 2022. Responses were characterized through descriptive analyses. Fisher's exact test was used to test associations. RESULTS Of 516 respondents, 329 of 497 (66%) were from North America and 121 of 497 (24%) from Europe. Of 435 respondents, 379 (87%) reported headache as a major management concern for patients with SAH. Intensive care teams were primarily responsible for analgesia during hospitalization (249 of 435, 57%), whereas responsibility shifted to neurosurgery at discharge (233 of 501, 47%). Most used medications were acetaminophen (90%), opioids (66%), corticosteroids (28%), and antiseizure medications (28%). Opioids or medication combinations including opioids were most frequently perceived as most effective by 169 of 433 respondents (39%, predominantly intensivists), followed by corticosteroids or combinations with corticosteroids (96 of 433, 22%, predominantly neurologists). Of medications prescribed at discharge, acetaminophen was most common (303 of 381, 80%), followed by opioids (175 of 381, 46%) and antiseizure medications (173 of 381, 45%). Opioids during hospitalization were significantly more prescribed by intensivists, by providers managing higher numbers of patients with SAH, and in Europe. At discharge, opioids were more frequently prescribed in North America. Of 435 respondents, 299 (69%) indicated no change in prescription practice of opioids with the opioid crisis. Additional differences in prescription patterns between continents and providers and while inpatient versus at discharge were found. CONCLUSIONS Post-SAH headache in the intensive care setting is a major clinical concern. Analgesia heavily relies on opioids both in use and in perception of efficacy, with no reported change in prescription patterns for opioids for most providers despite the significant drawbacks of opioids. Responsibility for analgesia shifts between hospitalization and discharge. International and provider-related differences are evident. Novel treatment strategies and alignment of prescription between providers are urgently needed.

Abstract
Fraud in medical publications is an increasing concern. In particular, disciplines related to perioperative medicine-including anaesthesia and critical care-currently hold the highest rankings in terms of retracted papers for research misconduct. The dominance of this dubious achievement is attributable to a limited number of researchers who have repeatedly committed scientific fraud. In the last three decades, six researchers have authored 421 of the 475 papers retracted in perioperative medicine. This narrative review reports on six cases of fabricated publication in perioperative medicine that resulted in the paper's retraction. The process that led to the unveiling of the fraud, the impact on clinical practice, and changes in regulatory mechanisms of scientific companies and governmental agencies' policies are also presented. Fraud in medical publications is a growing concern that affects perioperative medicine requiring a substantial number of papers to be retracted. The continuous control elicited by readers, by local institutional review boards, scientific journal reviewers, scientific societies and government agencies can play an important role in preserving the 'pact of trust' between authors, professionals and ultimately the relationship between doctors and patients.

Abstract
Moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) are major causes of disability and death. In addition, when TBI occurs during pregnancy, it can lead to miscarriage, premature birth, and maternal/fetal death, engendering clinical and ethical issues. Several recommendations have been proposed for the management of TBI patients; however, none of these have been specifically applied to pregnant women, which often have been excluded from major trials. Therefore, at present, evidence on TBI management in pregnant women is limited and mostly based on clinical experience. The aim of this manuscript is to provide the clinicians with practical suggestions, based on 10 rules, for the management of moderate to severe TBI during pregnancy. In particular, we firstly describe the pathophysiological changes occurring during pregnancy; then we explore the main strategies for the diagnosis of TBI taking in consideration the risks related to mother and fetus, and finally we discuss the most appropriate approaches for the management in this particular condition. Based on the available evidence, we suggest a stepwise approach consisting of different tiers of treatment and we describe the specific risks according to the severity of the neurological and systemic conditions of both fetus and mother in relation to each trimester of pregnancy. The innovative feature of this approach is the fact that it focuses on the vulnerability and specificity of this population, without forgetting the current knowledge on adult non-pregnant patients, which has to be applied to improve the quality of the care process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) is less invasive than extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and intraoperative control of gas exchange could be feasible. The aim of this study in intermediate intraoperative severity patients undergoing LT was to assess the role of intraoperative ECCO2R on emergency ECMO requirement in patients. METHODS Thirty-eight consecutive patients undergoing lung transplantation (LT) with "intermediate" intraoperative severity in the intervals 2007 to 2010 or 2011 to 2014 were analyzed as historical comparison of case-matched cohort retrospective study. The "intermediate" intraoperative severity was defined as the development of intraoperative severe respiratory acidosis with maintained oxygenation function (i.e., pH <7.25, PaCO2 >60 mmHg, and PaO2/FiO2 >150), not associated with hemodynamic instability. Of these 38 patients, twenty-three patients were treated in the 2007-2010 interval by receiving "standard intraoperative treatment," while 15 patients were treated in the 2011-2014 interval by receiving "standard intraoperative treatment + ECCO2R." RESULTS ECMO requirement was more frequent among patients that received "standard intraoperative treatment" alone than in those treated with "standard intraoperative treatment + ECCO2R" (17/23 vs. 3/15; p = 0.004). The use of ECCO2R improved pH and PaCO2 while mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) decreased. CONCLUSION In intermediate intraoperative severity patients, the use of ECCO2R reduces the ECMO requirement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Questions remain on the optimal management of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients once they are admitted to the referring center, before and after the aneurysm treatment. To address these issues, we created a consensus of experts endorsed by the Italian Society of Anesthesia and Intensive Care (SIAARTI) to provide clinical guidance regarding this topic. Specifically, in this manuscript (part 2), we aim to provide a list of experts' recommendations regarding the management of SAH patients in a center with neurosurgical/neuroendovascular facilities after aneurysm treatment. METHODS A multidisciplinary consensus panel composed by 24 physicians selected for their established clinical and scientific expertise in the acute management of SAH patients with different specializations (anesthesia/intensive care, neurosurgery, and interventional neuroradiology) was created. A modified Delphi approach was adopted. RESULTS A total of 33 statements were discussed, voted, and approved. Consensus was reached on 30 recommendations (28 strong and 2 weak). In 3 cases, where consensus could not be agreed upon, no recommendation was provided. CONCLUSIONS This consensus provides practical recommendations (and not mandatory standard of practice) to support clinician's decision-making in the management of SAH patients in centers with neurosurgical/neuroendovascular facilities after aneurysm securing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since the appearance of the first report on postoperative cognitive impairment in 1955, the number of papers focusing on perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) has constantly increased, both in the field of basic science and clinical research. A critical comprehensive review may explore the perception of how noteworthy PND is for physicians and clinical researchers. The aim of this systematic review is to describe how the clinical papers published to date with PND as primary or secondary outcome have changed over time in terms of editorial characteristics. RESULTS A literature search was performed on PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, up to March 2021. Human prospective or retrospective clinical studies in which incidence, risk factors, treatments, or outcomes associated with PND are described among primary or secondary outcomes were included. A total of 2109 articles were considered. CONCLUSIONS The bibliometric analysis suggests a stable increase in attention towards PND, particularly in general surgery adult-elderly patients, and underlines the importance for the clinicians not to underestimate this specific field.

Abstract
Background: Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is considered as an independent risk factor for several diseases, such as cardiovascular, neurological and autoimmune conditions. Atherothrombotic events, as a result of endothelial dysfunction and increased inflammation, are the main mechanisms involved in vascular damage. This review article reports clinical evidence on the relationship between the concentration of plasmatic homocysteine (Hcy) and acute brain injury (ABI) in neurocritical care patients. Materials and methods: a systematic search of articles in the PubMed and EMBASE databases was conducted, of which only complete studies, published in English in peer-reviewed journals, were included. Results: A total of 33 articles, which can be divided into the following 3 subchapters, are present: homocysteine and acute ischemic stroke (AIS); homocysteine and traumatic brain injury (TBI); homocysteine and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH)/subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This confirms that HHcy is an independent risk factor for ABI and a marker of poor prognosis in the case of stroke, ICH, SAH and TBI. Conclusions: Several studies elucidate that Hcy levels influence the patient’s prognosis in ABI and, in some cases, the risk of recurrence. Hcy appears as biochemical marker that can be used by neuro-intensivists as an indicator for risk stratification. Moreover, a nutraceutical approach, including folic acid, the vitamins B6 and B12, reduces the risk of thrombosis, cardiovascular and neurological dysfunction in patients with severe HHcy that were admitted for neurocritical care.

Abstract
The best mode of delivering enteral nutrition (EN) in ICU is still debated: several consensus guidelines (ASPEN and ESPEN) suggest that EN in ICU should be preferably delivered continuously rather intermittently but some authors highlight that the first is unphysiological. The aim of this systematic review (SR) is to summarize available clinical evidence related to safety and efficacy of continuous enteral nutrition (C-EN) or intermittent enteral nutrition (I-EN) in ICU patients, in relation to appropriated supply on nutritional status, gastrointestinal symptoms or tolerance, risks on respiratory tract infections. A literature search of Pubmed, EMBASE and Google Scholar was performed comparing C-EN vs I-EN and 4196 published studies were screened. Nineteen studies were selected for this SR reporting types of ICU, nutritional protocols and study period. Effects of C-EN vs I-EN were presented according to the impact on: nutritional status, digestive tract and respiratory tract. The contrasting results confirmed that the optimal delivering mode of EN remains controversial. Future studies dedicated to identify the benefits and limitations of C-EN or I-EN should be realized.

Abstract
Managing the acute phase after a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) with polytrauma represents a challenging situation for every trauma team member. A worldwide variability in the management of these complex patients has been reported in recent studies. Moreover, limited evidence regarding this topic is available, mainly due to the lack of well-designed studies. Anesthesiologists, as trauma team members, should be familiar with all the issues related to the management of these patients. In this narrative review, we summarize the available evidence in this setting, focusing on perioperative brain protection, cardiorespiratory optimization, and preservation of the coagulative function. An overview on simultaneous multisystem surgery (SMS) is also presented.

Abstract
This systematic review aims to appraise available clinical evidence on the efficacy and safety of wound infiltration with adjuvants to local anesthetics (LAs) for pain control after lumbar spine surgery. A database search was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) pertinent to wound infiltration with analgesics or miscellaneous drugs adjunctive to LAs compared with sole LAs or placebo. The outcomes of interest were postoperative rescue analgesic consumption, pain intensity, time to first analgesic request, and the occurrence of adverse events. Twelve double-blind RCTs enrolling 925 patients were selected for qualitative analysis. Most studies were of moderate-to-good methodological quality. Dexmedetomidine reduced analgesic requirements and pain intensity within 24 h postoperatively, while prolonged pain relief was reported by one RCT involving adjunctive clonidine. Data on local magnesium seem promising yet difficult to interpret. No clear analgesic superiority could be attributed to steroids. Τramadol co-infiltration was equally effective as sole tramadol but superior to LAs. No serious adverse events were reported. Due to methodological inconsistencies and lack of robust data, no definite conclusions could be drawn on the analgesic effect of local infiltrates in patients undergoing lumbar surgery. The probable positive analgesic efficacy of adjunctive dexmedetomidine and magnesium needs further evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium is a serious complication that can occur within the 5th postoperative day. In 2017, the European Society of Anesthesiologists delivered dedicated guidelines that reported the need for routine monitoring using validated scales. OBJECTIVE Aim of this systematic review is to identify clinical studies related to postoperative delirium that included postoperative monitoring with validated scales. DESIGN Systematic review METHODS: Searched keywords included the following terms: postoperative, postsurgical, post anesthesia, anesthesia recovery, delirium, and confusion. Two researchers independently screened retrieved studies using a data extraction form. RESULTS Literature search led to retrieve 6475 hits; of these, 260 studies (5.6% of the retrieved), published between 1987 and 2021, included in their methods a diagnostic workup with the use of a postoperative delirium validated scale and monitored patients for more than 24 h, therefore are qualified to be included in the present systematic review. CONCLUSION In conclusion, available clinical literature on postoperative delirium relies on a limited number of studies, that included a validated diagnostic workup based on validated scales, extracted from a large series of studies that used inconsistent diagnostic criteria. In order to extract indications based on reliable evidence-based criteria, these are the studies that should be selectively considered. The analysis of these studies can also serve to design future projects and to test clinical hypothesis with a more standardized methodological approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is a paucity of clinical evidence that guides perioperative glycemia management in patients undergoing craniotomy for brain tumor resection. The purpose of this study was to better understand global perceptions and practices related to glycemia management in these patients. METHODS Neuroanesthesiologists throughout North America, South America, Europe, and Asia filled out a brief online questionnaire related to their perceptions and practices regarding glycemia management in patients undergoing craniotomy for brain tumor resection. RESULTS Over 4 weeks, 435 participants practicing in 34 countries across 6 continents participated in this survey. Although responders in North America were found to perceive a higher risk hyperglycemia compared with those practicing in European (P = 0.024) and South Asian (P = 0.007) countries, responders practicing in South Asian countries (P = 0.030), Middle Eastern countries (P = 0.029), and South American (P = 0.005) countries were more likely than those from North America to remeasure glucose after an initial normal glucose measurement at incision. Responders from North America reported that a higher blood glucose threshold was necessary for them to delay or cancel the surgery compared with responders in Slavic (P < 0.001), European (P = 0.002), South American (P = 0.002), and Asian and Pacific (P < 0.001) countries. Responders from North America were more likely to report that they would delay or cancel the surgery because of a higher blood glucose threshold. CONCLUSIONS Our survey results suggest that perceptions and practices related to blood glucose management in patients undergoing brain tumor resection are variable. This study highlights the need for stronger clinical evidence and guidelines to help guide decisions for when and how to manage blood glucose derangements in these patients.

Abstract
Background: The existing recommendations for after open liver surgery, published in 2019, contains limited evidence on the use of regional analgesia techniques. The aim of this systematic review is to summarize available clinical evidence, published after September 2013, on systemic or blended postoperative analgesia for the prevention or treatment of postoperative pain after open liver surgery. Methods: The PUBMED and EMBASE registries were used for the literature search to identify suitable studies. Keywords for the literature search were selected, with the authors’ agreement, using the PICOS approach: participants, interventions, comparisons, outcomes, and study design. Results: The literature search led to the retrieval of a total of 800 studies. A total of 36 studies including 25 RCTs, 5 prospective observational, and 7 retrospective observational studies were selected as suitable for this systematic review. Conclusions: The current evidence suggests that, in these patients, optimal postoperative pain management should rely on using a “blended approach” which includes the use of systemic opioids and the infusion of NSAIDs along with regional techniques. This approach warrants the highest efficacy in terms of pain prevention, including the lower incretion of postoperative “stress hormones”, and fewer side effects. Furthermore, concerns about the potential for the increased risk of wound infection related to the use of regional techniques have been ruled out.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence indicates that cerebral desaturation in the perioperative period occurs more frequently than recognized. Combining monitoring modalities that reflect different aspects of cerebral perfusion status, such as near-infrared spectroscopy, jugular bulb saturation, and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography, may provide an extended window for prevention, early detection, and prompt intervention in ongoing hypoxic/ischemic neuronal injury and, thereby, improve neurologic outcome. Such an approach would minimize the impact of limitations of each monitoring modality, while individual components complement each other, enhancing the accuracy of acquired information. Current literature has failed to demonstrate any clear-cut clinical benefit of these modalities on outcome prognosis.

Abstract
Objective In this survey, we assessed the current clinical management of postoperative delirium (POD) among Chinese anesthesiologists, after publishing the European POD guideline. Methods We administered an electronic survey, designed according to the European POD guideline. The survey was completed using mobile devices. Results In total, 1,514 respondents from China participated in the survey. Overall, 74.4% of participants reported that delirium is very important. More than 95% of participants stated that they routinely assessed POD. In total, 61.4% screened for POD using clinical observation and 37.6% used a delirium screening tool. Although the depth of anesthesia (a POD risk factor) was monitored, electroencephalogram monitoring was unavailable to 30.6% of respondents. Regarding treatment, only 24.1% of respondents used a standard algorithm; 58.5% used individualized treatment. Conclusion Our survey showed that there are high awareness levels among Chinese anesthesiologists regarding the importance of POD. However, routine assessment and monitoring of all patients, including perioperative anesthesia depth monitoring, and a treatment algorithm need to be implemented on a larger scale. According to the results, efforts should be made to improve the knowledge of POD among Chinese anesthesiologists.

Abstract
Post-operative delirium (POD) is a health hazard condition for the patients and it is associated with increased costs for the healthcare system. Following a system-theoretic approach, firstly a model, then a questionnaire, have been designed to probe the collective awareness about POD throughout the entire patient's perioperative pathway. The 58 reported answers pointed out that most of the information, specifically associated with POD, are routinely recorded but not used to stratify the patients' individual risk to develop POD. The results suggest the need for design a new socio-technical role within modern health care systems: the POD analyst. A Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) model is proposed both to propel the awareness about POD and as a template for future POD risk factors collections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prevention and treatment of postoperative pain after craniotomy in pediatric patients is an open and challenging clinical problem due to limited epidemiological data and significant concerns on safety of the most common analgesics in neurosurgical patients. We reviewed the literature to evaluate the possible available strategies in pain management in pediatric patients. METHODS The systematic review was performed in accordance with PRISMA statement recommendations. PUBMED, EMBASE and Scopus databases were queried. Inclusion criteria were: randomized controlled trials, prospective and retrospective observational studies published before 2020 and reported postoperative pain management after craniotomy (i.e. including studies accomplished after craniotomy, craniectomy and reconstructive surgery) in children population (neonates to 18 years old). RESULTS A total of 11 studies - 4 randomized controlled, 5 prospective observational and 2 retrospective met criteria for inclusion. The selected studies reported data from a total of 1077 patients, with age ranging between neonates to 18 years, 52% male and 48% female. Opioids are still the most commonly used drugs. Paracetamol and NSAIDs are frequently used as adjuvants to reduce postoperative opioid requirements. Data on potential hypocoagulation due to the antiplatelet effect of NSAIDs are lacking. Selective scalp block provides lower pain scores in early postoperative period. CONCLUSION Clinical evidence on prevention and treatment of postoperative pain in pediatric patients undergone craniotomy is still sparse. Available data prove that a multimodal approach, realized as the use a combination of opioids, paracetamol/NSAIDs and regional anesthesia, is effective and rarely associate with complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral vasospasm is a common complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Nimodipine is the most frequently used drug for cerebral vasospasm management and is the only approved medication that has been demonstrated to reduce ischemic complications, infarct size and improve neurological outcome after aneurismal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The main purpose of this systematic review was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the main cerebral and extracerebral side effects of continuous intra-arterial infusion of nimodipine in management of delayed cerebral ischemia in subarachnoid hemorrhage patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A protocol with the inclusion and exclusion criteria for matched cases and the method of analysis were established and agreed by all authors. We defined the scope of this review to include articles (prospective and retrospective) reporting the side effects of continuous intra-arterial infusion of nimodipine in human subjects. PRISMA guidelines were used to conduct this systematic review. RESULTS A total of 8 articles reporting 136 patients were included in the review and analyzed. The side effects associated with continuous intra-arterial infusion of nimodipine were arterial hypotention, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, atrial fibrillation or flutter, infections, acute kidney injury, hepatic and gastro-intestinal side effects. CONCLUSION The most frequent side effects reported in the articles included in this systematic review associated with the continuous intra-arterial infusion of nimodipine were arterial hypotension and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Intracerebral hemorrhage, the elevation of ICP, heart rhythm disorders, infectious complications, and thrombosis of the catheter might be also associated with CIAN. Future prospective studies are warranted to establish the risks and incidence of procedure-related side effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic is an international crisis placing tremendous strain on medical systems around the world. Like other specialties, neuroanesthesiology has been adversely affected and training programs have had to quickly adapt to the constantly changing environment. METHODS An email-based survey was used to evaluate the effects of the pandemic on clinical workflow, clinical training, education, and trainee well-being. The impact of the International Council on Perioperative Neuroscience Training (ICPNT) accreditation was also assessed. RESULTS Responses were received from 14 program directors (88% response rate) in 10 countries and from 36 fellows in these programs. Clinical training was adversely affected because of the cancellation of elective neurosurgery and other changes in case workflow, the introduction of modified airway and other protocols, and redeployment of trainees to other sites. To address educational demands, most programs utilized online platforms to organize clinical discussions, journal clubs, and provide safety training modules. Several initiatives were introduced to support trainee well-being during the pandemic. Feelings of isolation and despair among trainees varied from 2 to 8 (on a scale of 1 to 10). Fellows all reported concerns that their clinical training had been adversely affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic because of decreased exposure to elective subspecialty cases and limited opportunities to complete workplace-based assessments and training portfolio requirements. Cancellation of examination preparation courses and delayed examinations were cited as common sources of stress. Programs accredited by the ICPNT reported that international networking and collaboration was beneficial to reduce feelings of isolation during the pandemic. CONCLUSION Neuroanesthesia fellowship training program directors introduced innovative ways to maintain clinical training, educational activity and trainee well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Rationale: Initial reports of case fatality rates (CFRs) among adults with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) are highly variable.Objectives: To examine the CFR of patients with COVID-19 receiving IMV.Methods: Two authors independently searched PubMed, Embase, medRxiv, bioRxiv, the COVID-19 living systematic review, and national registry databases. The primary outcome was the "reported CFR" for patients with confirmed COVID-19 requiring IMV. "Definitive hospital CFR" for patients with outcomes at hospital discharge was also investigated. Finally, CFR was analyzed by patient age, geographic region, and study quality on the basis of the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.Measurements and Results: Sixty-nine studies were included, describing 57,420 adult patients with COVID-19 who received IMV. Overall reported CFR was estimated as 45% (95% confidence interval [CI], 39-52%). Fifty-four of 69 studies stated whether hospital outcomes were available but provided a definitive hospital outcome on only 13,120 (22.8%) of the total IMV patient population. Among studies in which age-stratified CFR was available, pooled CFR estimates ranged from 47.9% (95% CI, 46.4-49.4%) in younger patients (age ≤40 yr) to 84.4% (95% CI, 83.3-85.4%) in older patients (age >80 yr). CFR was also higher in early COVID-19 epicenters. Overall heterogeneity is high (I2 >90%), with nonsignificant Egger's regression test suggesting no publication bias.Conclusions: Almost half of patients with COVID-19 receiving IMV died based on the reported CFR, but variable CFR reporting methods resulted in a wide range of CFRs between studies. The reported CFR was higher in older patients and in early pandemic epicenters, which may be influenced by limited ICU resources. Reporting of definitive outcomes on all patients would facilitate comparisons between studies.Systematic review registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020186997).

Abstract
PURPOSE Long-term cognitive impairment is a complication of critical illness survivors. Beside its lifesaving role, mechanical ventilation has potential complications. The aim of this study is to systematically review the evidence collected in animal studies that correlate mechanical ventilation with neuroinflammation, neuronal damage and cognitive impairment. METHODS We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE databases for studies published from inception until August 31st, 2020, that enrolled mechanically ventilated animals and reported on neuroinflammation or neuronal damage markers changes or cognitive-behavioural impairment. RESULTS Of 5583 studies, 11 met inclusion criteria. Mice, rats, pigs were used. Impact of MV: 4 out of 7 studies reported higher neuroinflammation markers in MV-treated animals and 3 studies reported no differences; 7 out of 8 studies reported a higher neuronal damage and 1 reported no differences; 2 out of 2 studies reported cognitive decline up to 3 days after MV. Higher Tidal volumes are associated with higher changes in brain or serum markers. CONCLUSION Preclinical evidence suggests that MV induces neuroinflammation, neuronal damage and cognitive impairment and these are worsened if sub-optimal MV settings are applied. Future studies, with appropriate methodology, are necessary to evaluate for serum monitoring strategies. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42019148935.

Abstract
The evaluation of new therapeutic resources against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) represents a priority in clinical research considering the minimal options currently available. To evaluate the adjuvant use of systemic oxygen-ozone administration in the early control of disease progression in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. PROBIOZOVID is an ongoing, interventional, randomized, prospective, and double-arm trial enrolling patient with COVID-19 pneumonia. From a total of 85 patients screened, 28 were recruited. Patients were randomly divided into ozone-autohemotherapy group (14) and control group (14). The procedure consisted in a daily double-treatment with systemic Oxygen-ozone administration for 7 days. All patients were treated with ad interim best available therapy. The primary outcome was delta in the number of patients requiring orotracheal-intubation despite treatment. Secondary outcome was the difference of mortality between the two groups. Moreover, hematological parameters were compared before and after treatment. No differences in the characteristics between groups were observed at baseline. As a preliminary report we have observed that one patient for each group needed intubation and was transferred to ITU. No deaths were observed at 7-14 days of follow up. Thirty-day mortality was 8.3% for ozone group and 10% for controls. Ozone therapy did not significantly influence inflammation markers, hematology profile, and lymphocyte subpopulations of patients treated. Ozone therapy had an impact on the need for the ventilatory support, although did not reach statistical significance. Finally, no adverse events related to the use of ozone-autohemotherapy were reported. Preliminary results, although not showing statistically significant benefits of ozone on COVID-19, did not report any toxicity.

Abstract
In patients undergoing craniotomy, general anesthesia should be addressed to warrant good hypnosis, immobility, and analgesia, to ensure systemic and cerebral physiological status and provide the best possible surgical field. Regarding craniotomies, it is unclear if there are substantial differences in providing general anesthesia using total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) or balanced anesthesia (BA) accomplished using the third generation halogenates. New evidence highlighted that the last generation of halogenated agents has possible advantages compared with intravenous drugs: rapid induction, minimal absorption and metabolization, reproducible pharmacokinetic, faster recovery, cardioprotective effect, and opioid spare analgesia. This review aims to report evidence related to the use of the latest halogenated agents in patients undergoing craniotomy and to present available clinical evidence on their effects: cerebral and systemic hemodynamic, neurophysiological monitoring, and timing and quality of recovery after anesthesia.

Abstract
Background SARS-Cov2 infection may trigger lung inflammation and acute-respiratory-distress-syndrome (ARDS) that requires active ventilation and may have fatal outcome. Considering the severity of the disease and the lack of active treatments, 14 patients with Covid-19 and severe lung inflammation received inhaled adenosine in the attempt to therapeutically compensate for the oxygen-related loss of the endogenous adenosine→A2A adenosine receptor (A2AR)-mediated mitigation of the lung-destructing inflammatory damage. This off label-treatment was based on preclinical studies in mice with LPS-induced ARDS, where inhaled adenosine/A2AR agonists protected oxygenated lungs from the deadly inflammatory damage. The treatment was allowed, considering that adenosine has several clinical applications. Patients and treatment Fourteen consecutively enrolled patients with Covid19-related interstitial pneumonitis and PaO2/FiO2 ratio<300 received off-label-treatment with 9 mg inhaled adenosine every 12 hours in the first 24 hours and subsequently, every 24 days for the next 4 days. Fifty-two patients with analogue features and hospitalized between February and April 2020, who did not receive adenosine, were considered as a historical control group. Patients monitoring also included hemodynamic/hematochemical studies, CTscans, and SARS-CoV2-tests. Results The treatment was well tolerated with no hemodynamic change and one case of moderate bronchospasm. A significant increase (> 30%) in the PaO2/FiO2-ratio was reported in 13 out of 14 patients treated with adenosine compared with that observed in 7 out of52 patients in the control within 15 days. Additionally, we recorded a mean PaO2/FiO2-ratio increase (215 ± 45 vs. 464 ± 136, P = 0.0002) in patients receiving adenosine and no change in the control group (210±75 vs. 250±85 at 120 hours, P>0.05). A radiological response was demonstrated in 7 patients who received adenosine, while SARS-CoV-2 RNA load rapidly decreased in 13 cases within 7 days while no changes were recorded in the control group within 15 days. There was one Covid-19 related death in the experimental group and 11in the control group. Conclusion Our short-term analysis suggests the overall safety and beneficial therapeutic effect of inhaled adenosine in patients with Covid-19-inflammatory lung disease suggesting further investigation in controlled clinical trials.

Abstract
Temperature alterations in neurocritical care settings are common and have a striking effect on brain metabolism leading to or exacerbating neuronal injury. Hyperthermia worsens acute brain injury (ABI) patients outcome. However conclusive evidence linking control of temperature to improved outcome is still lacking. This review article report an update -results from clinical studies published between March 2006 and March 2020- on the relationship between hyperthermia or Target Temperature Management and functional outcome or mortality in ABI patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search of articles in PubMed and EMBASE database was accomplished. Only complete studies, published in English in peer-reviewed journals were included. RESULTS A total of 63 articles into 5 subchapters are presented: acute ischemic stroke (17), subarachnoid hemorrhage (14), brain trauma (14), intracranial hemorrhage (8), and mixed acute brain injury (10). This evidence confirm and extend the negative impact of hyperthermia in ABI patients on worse functional outcome and higher mortality. In particular "early hyperthermia" in AIS patients seems to have a protective role have as promoting factor of clot lysis but no conclusive evidence is available. Normothermic TTM seems to have a positive effect on TBI patients in a reduced mortality rate compared to hypothermic TTM. CONCLUSIONS Hyperthermia in ABI patients is associated with worse functional outcome and higher mortality. The use of normothermic TTM has an established indication only in TBI; further studies are needed to define the role and the indications of normothermic TTM in ABI patients.

Abstract
Hydatid cyst in the cervical region is an extremely rare condition that can create challenges for anesthesiologists. Timely recognition of difficult airway and preparing the management plan is crucial to avoid life-threatening complications such as hypoxic brain damage. We describe a case of difficult airway management in a patient with massive cervical hydatid cyst. We used a low-dose ketamine-propofol sedation and lidocaine spray for local oropharyngeal anesthesia. Muscular relaxants were not used, and spontaneous breathing was maintained during intubation. Recognition, assessment, and perioperative planning are essential for difficult airway management in patients with cervical hydatid cyst.

Abstract
Awake fiberoptic intubation (AFOI) is mandatory to manage difficult airways. Superior laryngeal nerve block (SLNB) could reduce risks and improve patient comfort. The aim of this study is to assess the procedural comfort of SLNB during AFOI in a population of patients undergoing upper airway oncological surgery. Forty patients were randomized into two groups and were treated with continuous infusion of remifentanil, topic anesthesia and intercricoid block. In the study group (=20), SLNB was performed with lidocaine (L-SLNB); in the control group (n=20) SLNB was performed using saline (S-SLNB). AFOI was more comfortable in the L-SLNB group compared to S-SLNB patients [FOICS ≤ 1 in 18 patients (90%) L-SLNB; 2 (10%) S-SLNB (P <0.001)]. Intubation was faster in L-SLNB (47.45 ±15.38 sec) than S-SLNB (80.15 ±37.91 sec) (p <0.001). The SLNB procedure during AFOI is a safe and comfortable procedure in a population of patients undergoing upper airways surgery. Time to intubation was shorter in L-SLNB than in S-SLNB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and steatosis are associated with COVID-19 severe pneumonia. Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduced immune response are typical of these patients. In particular, adipose tissue is the organ playing the crucial role. So, it is necessary to evaluate fat mass and not simpler body mass index (BMI), because BMI leaves a portion of the obese population unrecognized. The aim is to evaluate the relationship between Percentage of Fat Mass (FM%) and immune-inflammatory response, after 10 days in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). METHODS Prospective observational study of 22 adult patients, affected by COVID-19 pneumonia and admitted to the ICU and classified in two sets: (10) lean and (12) obese, according to FM% and age (De Lorenzo classification). Patients were analyzed at admission in ICU and at 10th day. RESULTS Obese have steatosis, impaired hepatic function, compromise immune response and higher inflammation. In addition, they have a reduced prognostic nutritional index (PNI), nutritional survival index for ICU patients. CONCLUSION This is the first study evaluating FM% in COVID-19 patient. We underlined obese characteristic with likely poorly prognosis and an important misclassification of obesity. A not negligible number of patients with normal BMI could actually have an excess of adipose tissue and therefore have an unfavorable outcome such as an obese. Is fundamental personalized patients nutrition basing on disease phases.

Abstract
AbstractThe recent outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a health emergency all over the world. Several health care professionals are currently putting their best efforts to deal with this situation. The aim of this review is to report insights from the literature and “on the field” experience in clinical management of critical COVID-19 patients. Respiratory support varies from high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) to noninvasive and invasive mechanical ventilation, often associated with nitric oxide, prone position, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Experienced specialists have to manage the airways minimizing any contamination and virus spread. The hemodynamic management of critical COVID-19 patients requires not only an accurate fluid strategy, but also an appropriate use of vasopressors and inotropes. Various adjuvant treatments have been proposed: antiviral drugs, immunomodulators, anticoagulants, antibiotics, and nutrition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium (POD) is a severe brain dysfunction. Although data indicate a high relevance, no survey has investigated the routine practice to monitor delirium outside the ICU setting after surgery. Prior to publishing of the new European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA) guidelines on POD, an international survey was conducted to assess current practice. METHODS European Society of Anaesthesiology-endorsed online survey; Trial Registration: NCT-identifier: 02513537. RESULTS In total, 566 respondents from 62 countries accessed, and 564 (99.6%) completed the survey (completion rate). Overall, 385 (68%) of the respondents reported that delirium is either "very relevant" or "relevant" for their daily clinical practice. In all, 38 (7%) of the respondents routinely monitor for delirium in >50% of all patients. Asked on the monitoring time point, more than half (n = 308, 55%) indicated to screen before or at recovery room discharge, 235 (42%) up to the first postoperative day, 143 (25%) up to 3 days, and 77 (14%) up to 5 postoperative days. Although there is a lack of long-term monitoring, nearly all respondents (n = 530, 94%) reported to treat delirium. Availability of EEG/EMG-based monitoring to assess the depth of anaesthesia was high in the study group (n = 547, 97%) and was used by more than one-third of the respondents to reduce risk of burst suppression (n = 189, 34%). CONCLUSION Although delirium is perceived as a relevant condition among anaesthesiologists, there is a high demand for implementing monitoring strategies after publishing of the POD Guideline. The survey shows that tools necessary for POD Guideline implementation are available in the centres represented by the respondents.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Ropivacaine is a long-acting local anesthetic that causes prolonged anesthesia and is beneficial for a wide variety of surgeries. Systemic toxicity has been reported after usage of high dose ropivacaine or inadvertent intravascular administration. We report a case of ropivacaine withdrawal, which to our knowledge has not been previously described in the literature. CASE REPORT The patient presented to our department with uncontrolled belt-like upper-abdominal pain, self-rated as a 9/10 on the numeric rating scale. We decided to use continuous epidural analgesia with ropivacaine through a multi-port epidural catheter. Pain was well controlled for one month without significant adverse effects. However, ropivacaine unexpectedly ran out and two hours later the patient developed agitation, generalized tremor, tachycardia, and tachypnea. These symptoms resolved 30 minutes after reinitiating epidural ropivacaine. DISCUSSION Our hypothesis of ropivacaine withdrawal was related to the timing of symptoms in relation to drug administration over two episodes. The possible mechanism of the observed withdrawal syndrome is upregulation of voltage-gated sodium channels after prolonged inhibition, resulting in increase in sodium influx and genetic variation.

Abstract
AbstractSedation is an essential therapeutic strategy in the care of neurocritical patients. Intravenous sedative agents are the most widely used, with promising alternatives (dexmedetomidine, ketamine, and volatile agents) to propofol and midazolam arising. Studies designed to evaluate superiority and avoid biases are required. A neurological awakening test is safe in most patients. Potential risks and benefits of limiting deep sedation and daily interruption of sedation in these patients remain unclear. The aim of this review was to report recent clinical evidence on sedation in this subgroup of patients, focusing on its effects on clinical prognosis.
