Abstract
Perioperative cardiac arrest (POCA) is a catastrophic complication that requires immediate recognition and correction of the underlying cause to improve patient outcomes. While the hypoxia, hypovolemia, hydrogen ions (acidosis), hypo-/hyperkalemia, and hypothermia (Hs) and toxins, tamponade (cardiac), tension pneumothorax, thrombosis (pulmonary), and thrombosis (coronary) (Ts) mnemonic is a valuable tool for rapid differential diagnosis, it does not cover all possible causes leading to POCA. To address this limitation, we propose using the preload-contractility-afterload-rate and rhythm (PCARR) construct to categorize POCA, which is comprehensive, systemic, and physiologically logical. We provide evidence for each component in the PCARR construct and emphasize that it complements the Hs and Ts mnemonic rather than replacing it. Furthermore, we discuss the significance of utilizing monitored variables such as electrocardiography, pulse oxygen saturation, end-tidal carbon dioxide, and blood pressure to identify clues to the underlying cause of POCA. To aid in investigating POCA causes, we suggest the Anesthetic care, Surgery, Echocardiography, Relevant Check and History (A-SERCH) list of actions. We recommend combining the Hs and Ts mnemonic, the PCARR construct, monitoring, and the A-SERCH list of actions in a rational manner to investigate POCA causes. These proposals require real-world testing to assess their feasibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few existing resuscitation guidelines include specific reference to intra-operative cardiac arrest, but its optimal treatment is likely to require some adaptation of standard protocols. METHODS We analysed data from the 7th National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists to determine the incidence and outcome from intra-operative cardiac arrest and to summarise the advanced life support interventions reported as being used by anaesthetists. RESULTS In the baseline survey, > 50% of anaesthetists responded that they would start chest compressions when the non-invasive systolic pressure was < 40-50 mmHg. Of the 881 registry patients, 548 were adult patients (aged > 18 years) having non-obstetric procedures under the care of an anaesthetist, and who had arrested during anaesthesia (from induction to emergence). Sustained return of spontaneous circulation was achieved in 425 (78%) patients and 338 (62%) were alive at the time of reporting. In the 365 patients with pulseless electrical activity or bradycardia, adrenaline was given as a 1 mg bolus in 237 (65%). A precordial thump was used in 14 (3%) patients, and although this was associated with return of spontaneous circulation at the next rhythm check in almost three-quarters of patients, in only one of these was the initial rhythm shockable. Calcium (gluconate or chloride) and 8.4% sodium bicarbonate were given to 51 (9%) and 25 (5%) patients, but there were specific indications for these treatments in less than half of the patients. A thrombolytic drug was given to 5 (1%) patients, and extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation was used in 9 (2%) of which eight occurred during cardiac procedures. CONCLUSIONS The specific characteristics of intra-operative cardiac arrest imply that its optimal treatment requires modifications to standard advanced life support guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total spinal anaesthesia (TSA) is an emergency caused by high neuraxial blockade. It is a recognised complication of all neuraxial techniques in obstetric anaesthesia. Its incidence and outcomes have not been evaluated. There is compelling evidence that TSA continues to be a problem in contemporary practice, having the capacity to cause significant morbidity and mortality if not recognised early and promptly treated. This review based on a literature search aims to clarify the epidemiology of TSA, summarise its pathophysiology, and identify risk factors and effective treatments. METHODS We performed a literature search using PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases using specified search terms for materials published using search terms. For each case, the type of block, the difficulty of the procedure, the dose of local anaesthetic, positivity of aspiration before and after the event, maternal outcome, Apgar score, onset of symptoms, cardiorespiratory and neurological manifestations, cardiorespiratory support employed, admission to an intensive care unit, cardiac arrest events and duration of mechanical ventilation were extracted. RESULTS A total of 605 cases were identified, of which 51 were sufficiently detailed for analysis. Although TSA is described after all neuraxial techniques, spinal after epidural was a particular concern in recent reports. Respiratory distress was universal but apnoea was not. The onset of apnoea was variable, ranging from 1 to 180 min. Hypotension was not invariable and occurred in approximately half of cases. Multiple fatalities and neurological injuries were reported, often in under-resourced areas when providers were not skilled in airway management or when recognition and intervention were delayed. In the most recent reports good outcomes were achieved when effective treatments were rapidly provided. CONCLUSIONS The available literature confirms that TSA remains an active clinical problem and that with prompt recognition and treatment good outcomes can be achieved. This requires anticipation and preparedness in all clinical areas where neuraxial techniques are performed.

Abstract
Background Various complications occur in patients undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of complications in patients with Parkinson's disease who underwent DBS surgery and identify the risk factors, especially anesthetic factors. Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed between May 2015 and December 2022. Based on a review of medical charts, patients aged 18 years or older who underwent DBS surgery at a tertiary neurological center in Thailand were recruited. Univariate analysis using the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was performed to compare patients with and without complications. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the predictive factors for complications. Results The study included 46 patients. The most common complication during DBS electrode placement was hypertension (30/46, 65.2%), and 19 patients (41.3%) who developed hypertension did not receive antihypertensive treatment. The most common complication during battery placement was clinical hypotension (14/46, 30.4%). The most common postoperative complication was delirium (6/46, 13.0%). In the multivariate analysis, no significant independent risk factors for overall complications after DBS surgery were identified. Conclusions Hypertension during DBS electrode insertion was the most common perioperative complication. Hemodynamic instability is preventable and manageable, and vigilant and prompt treatment should be provided during DBS surgery.

Abstract
The 7th National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists studied peri-operative cardiac arrest in the UK, a topic of importance to patients, anaesthetists and surgeons. We report the results of the 12-month registry phase, from 16 June 2021 to 15 June 2022, focusing on management and outcomes. Among 881 cases of peri-operative cardiac arrest, the initial rhythm was non-shockable in 723 (82%) cases, most commonly pulseless electrical activity. There were 665 (75%) patients who survived the initial event and 384 (52%) who survived to hospital discharge. A favourable functional outcome (based on modified Rankin Scale score) was reported for 249 (88%) survivors. Outcomes varied according to arrest rhythm. The highest rates of survival were seen for bradycardic cardiac arrests with 111 (86%) patients surviving the initial event and 77 (60%) patients surviving the hospital episode. The lowest survival rates were seen for patients with pulseless electrical activity, with 312 (68%) surviving the initial episode and 156 (34%) surviving to hospital discharge. Survival to hospital discharge was worse in patients at the extremes of age with 76 (40%) patients aged > 75 y and 9 (45%) neonates surviving. Hospital survival was also associated with surgical priority, with 175 (88%) elective patients and 176 (37%) non-elective patients surviving to discharge. Outcomes varied with the cause of cardiac arrest, with lower initial survival rates for pulmonary embolism (5, 31%) and bone cement implantation syndrome (9, 45%), and hospital survival of < 25% for pulmonary embolism (0), septic shock (13, 24%) and significant hyperkalaemia (1, 20%). Overall care was rated good in 464 (53%) cases, and 18 (2%) cases had overall care rated as poor. Poor care elements were present in a further 245 (28%) cases. Care before cardiac arrest was the phase most frequently rated as poor (92, 11%) with elements of poor care identified in another 186 (21%) cases. These results describe the management and outcomes of peri-operative cardiac arrest in UK practice for the first time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vasospastic angina (VSA) occurring during surgery is rare but can lead to sudden intraoperative cardiac arrest. CASE PRESENTATION A 77-year-old man with hypertension, and no history of coronary artery disease, displayed an abrupt ST-segment elevation on the electrocardiogram (ECG) during laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery under general anesthesia. Subsequently, ventricular fibrillation (VF) occurred, with a finding suggesting ischemic myocardial contracture by transesophageal echocardiography. VF was refractory to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) was introduced. Spontaneous circulation resumed 77 min post-cardiac arrest. VSA was confirmed through the patient's clinical course and coronary angiography. Subsequently, VA ECMO was terminated, and the patient was discharged uneventfully. CONCLUSIONS Extracorporeal CPR may be a valuable alternative to extended resuscitation for refractory ventricular arrhythmias by VSA.

Abstract
Perioperative arrests are both uncommon and heterogeneous and have not been described or studied to the same extent as cardiac arrest in the community. These crises are usually witnessed, frequently anticipated, and involve a rescuer physician with knowledge of the patient's comorbidities and coexisting anesthetic or surgically related pathophysiology ultimately leading to better outcomes. This article reviews the most probable causes of intraoperative arrest and their management.

Abstract
Intraoperative cardiac arrest (ICA) is a crucial property of morbidity and mortality for patients undergoing surgical operations. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an important cause of ICA and perioperative myocardial infarction, especially in young women. In this case report, we presented the successful management of SCAD-induced ICA in a 46-year-old female patient who underwent posterior spinal instrumentation in the prone position due to lumbar intervertebral disc extrusion.

Abstract
A 68-year-old man underwent elective surgical repair of an abdominal wall hernia under general anaesthesia. The operation required muscle relaxation, for which we used rocuronium. Following completion of surgery, 180 mg sugammadex was administered intravenously. Shortly afterwards, the patient became severely bradycardic with hypotension, refractory to treatment with ephedrine. This progressed to a pulseless electrical activity cardiac arrest. After 4 min of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, there was return of spontaneous circulation and, following a period of haemodynamic stability in which general anaesthesia was maintained, the patient emerged from anaesthesia without incident. He remained haemodynamically stable until discharge. Post-resuscitation investigations including the serum tryptase level were unremarkable except for a mild respiratory acidosis and slightly elevated D-dimers. Sugammadex-induced bradycardia has previously been described, but its mechanism remains unknown. We believe that sugammadex was the cause of cardiac arrest in this case because of the timing and sequence of events, the evolution to pulseless electric activity and the relatively uneventful post-arrest clinical course. We hope that our report will help to promote awareness about this potential complication of a now commonly-used drug.

Abstract
Perioperative neonatal pneumothorax (NP) is rare but very fatal. Most of the surgeries and treatments in the neonatal period are time-limited or emergent, and there are often some risk factors for pneumothorax before surgery. Physicians, surgeons and anesthesiologists need to identify possible risk factors for pneumothorax before surgery in preterm babies, patients receiving mechanical ventilation and those with underlying lung disease. The clinical presentation of NP is nonspecific, and patients may rapidly develop life-threatening complications if not promptly diagnosed and managed. This review highlights recent progress in the identification of risk factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management of NP during the perioperative period.

Abstract
Background The optimization of surgical procedures and the management of surgical quality and safety have become the focus of attention of hospital managers. The application of multimodal identification technology in the innovative management mode of hospital operating department has made remarkable progress. Methods To investigate the effect of the upgraded multimodal identification technology on the innovative management of the operating department, 2,280 cases of laparoscopic surgery using traditional surgical management procedures from January to December 2019 before the management upgrade were set as the control group, and 2,350 laparoscopic surgeries with the upgraded multimodal identification management process from January to December 2020 were selected as the experimental group. The operating efficiency, material management efficiency, and patient experience and satisfaction of the two groups were investigated and compared. Results Compared with traditional procedures, the upgraded multimodal surgical management system significantly improves the efficiency of laparoscopic surgery and reduces surgical consumption and costs. In addition, the multimodal surgical information identification system significantly improves the surgical experience for patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Conclusion Application of multimodal identification technology improves the innovative management of operation department compared with traditional surgery management procedure.

Abstract
Brain disease has become one of this century’s biggest health challenges, urging the development of novel, more effective treatments. To this end, neuromodulation represents an excellent method to modulate the activity of distinct neuronal regions to alleviate disease. Recently, the medical indications for neuromodulation therapy have expanded through the adoption of the idea that neurological disorders emerge from deficits in systems-level structures, such as brain waves and neural topology. Connections between neuronal regions are thought to fluidly form and dissolve again based on the patterns by which neuronal populations synchronize. Akin to a fire that may spread or die out, the brain’s activity may similarly hyper-synchronize and ignite, such as seizures, or dwindle out and go stale, as in a state of coma. Remarkably, however, the healthy brain remains hedged in between these extremes in a critical state around which neuronal activity maneuvers local and global operational modes. While it has been suggested that perturbations of this criticality could underlie neuropathologies, such as vegetative states, epilepsy, and schizophrenia, a major translational impact is yet to be made. In this hypothesis article, we dissect recent computational findings demonstrating that a neural network’s short- and long-range connections have distinct and tractable roles in sustaining the critical regime. While short-range connections shape the dynamics of neuronal activity, long-range connections determine the scope of the neuronal processes. Thus, to facilitate translational progress, we introduce topological and dynamical system concepts within the framework of criticality and discuss the implications and possibilities for therapeutic neuromodulation guided by topological decompositions.

A retrospective study of mortality for perioperative cardiac arrests toward a personalized treatment. Sci Rep 2022; 12:13709.

Abstract
Perioperative cardiac arrest (POCA) is associated with a high mortality rate. This work aimed to study its prognostic factors for risk mitigation by means of care management and planning. A database of 380,919 surgeries was reviewed, and 150 POCAs were curated. The main outcome was mortality prior to hospital discharge. Patient demographic, medical history, and clinical characteristics (anesthesia and surgery) were the main features. Six machine learning (ML) algorithms, including LR, SVC, RF, GBM, AdaBoost, and VotingClassifier, were explored. The last algorithm was an ensemble of the first five algorithms. k-fold cross-validation and bootstrapping minimized the prediction bias and variance, respectively. Explainers (SHAP and LIME) were used to interpret the predictions. The ensemble provided the most accurate and robust predictions (AUC = 0.90 [95% CI, 0.78–0.98]) across various age groups. The risk factors were identified by order of importance. Surprisingly, the comorbidity of hypertension was found to have a protective effect on survival, which was reported by a recent study for the first time to our knowledge. The validated ensemble classifier in aid of the explainers improved the predictive differentiation, thereby deepening our understanding of POCA prognostication. It offers a holistic model-based approach for personalized anesthesia and surgical treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac arrest in intensive care is a rarely studied type of in-hospital cardiac arrest. OBJECTIVE This study examines the incidence, characteristics, risk factors for mortality as well as long-term prognosis following cardiac arrest in intensive care. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Five noncardiac surgical ICUs (41 surgical and 37 medical beds) at a German university hospital between 2016 and 2019. PATIENTS Adults experiencing cardiac arrest defined as the need for chest compressions and/or defibrillation occurring for the first time on the ICU. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Primary endpoint: occurrence of cardiac-arrest in the ICU. Secondary endpoints: diagnostic and therapeutic measures; risk factors and marginal probabilities of no-return of spontaneous circulation; rates of return of spontaneous circulation, hospital discharge, 1-year-survival and 1-year-neurological outcome. RESULTS A total of 114 cardiac arrests were observed out of 14 264 ICU admissions; incidence 0.8%; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.7 to 1.0; 45.6% received at least one additional diagnostic test, such as blood gas analysis (36%), echocardiography (19.3%) or chest x-ray (9.9%) with a resulting change in therapy in 52%, (more frequently in those with a return of spontaneous circulation vs none, P = 0.023). Risk factors for no-return of spontaneous circulation were cardiac comorbidities (OR 5.4; 95% CI, 1.4 to 20.7) and continuous renal replacement therapy (OR 5.9; 95% CI, 1.7 to 20.8). Bicarbonate levels greater than 21 mmol l-1 were associated with a higher mortality risk in combination either with cardiac comorbidities (bicarbonate <21 mmol l-1: 13%; 21 to 26 mmol l-1: 45%; >26 mmol l-1: 42%) or with a SOFA at least 2 (bicarbonate <21 mmol l-1: 8%; 21 to 26 mmol l-1: 40%; >26 mmol l-1: 37%). In-hospital mortality was 78.1% (n=89); 1-year-survival-rate was 10.5% (95% CI, 5.5 to 17.7) and survival with a good neurological outcome was 6.1% (95% CI, 2.5 to 12.2). CONCLUSION Cardiac arrest in ICU is a rare complication with a high mortality and low rate of good neurological outcome. The development of a structured approach to resuscitation should include all available resources of an ICU and adequately consider the complete diagnostic and therapeutic spectra as our results indicate that these are still underused. The development of prediction models of death should take into account cardiac and hepatic comorbidities, continuous renal replacement therapy, SOFA at least 2 before cardiac arrest and bicarbonate level. Further research should concentrate on identifying early predictors and on the prevention of cardiac arrest in ICU.

Risk factors of cardiac arrest and failure to achieve return of spontaneous circulation during anesthesia: a 20-year retrospective observational study from a tertiary care university hospital. J Anesth 2022; 36:221-229.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is still a lack of robust data on the epidemiology of cardiac arrest during anesthesia. We investigated the frequency and risk factors of cardiac arrest during anesthesia over the past two decades at a tertiary care university hospital in Japan. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 111,851 anesthesia records of patients who underwent surgery under anesthesia between 2000 and 2019. Cardiac arrest cases were classified according to the patient's background, surgical status, main cause and initial rhythm of cardiac arrest, and the presence of the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors of cardiac arrest and failure to achieve ROSC. RESULTS Ninety cardiac arrest cases during anesthesia were identified. The incidence of cardiac arrest was 8.05 per 10,000 anesthetics (95% CI, 6.54-9.90). There were 6 anesthesia-related cardiac arrests and 9 anesthesia-contributory cardiac arrests. The most common cause of cardiac arrest was blood loss. American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 4-5, emergency surgery, and cardiovascular surgery were identified as independent risk factors of cardiac arrest. American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 4-5, blood loss-induced cardiac arrest, and non-shockable rhythm were independently associated with failure to achieve ROSC. CONCLUSION Blood loss was the most common cause of cardiac arrest and blood loss-induced cardiac arrest was independently associated with failure to achieve ROSC. Further improvements in treatment strategies for bleeding may reduce the future incidence of cardiac arrest and death during anesthesia.

Abstract
Critical care ultrasonography (US) is widely used by intensivists managing critically ill patients to accurately and rapidly assess different clinical scenarios, which include pneumothorax, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, hydronephrosis, hemoperitoneum, and deep vein thrombosis. Basic and advanced critical care ultrasonographic skills are routinely used to supplement physical examination of critically ill patients, to determine the etiology of critical illness and to guide subsequent therapy. European guidelines now recommend the use of US for a number of practical procedures commonly performed in critical care. Full training and competence acquisition are essential before significant therapeutic decisions are made based on the US assessment. However, there are no universally accepted learning pathways and methodological standards for the acquisition of these skills. Therefore, in this review, we aim to provide a methodological approach of the head to toe ultrasonographic evaluation of critically ill patients considering different districts and clinical applications.

Abstract
Background Infection of SARS-CoV-2 may cause acute respiratory syndrome. It has been reported that SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (N-protein) presents early in body fluids during infection. The direct involvement of N-protein in lung injury is poorly understood. Methods Recombinant N-protein was pretreated with polymyxin B, a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-neutralizing agent. C57BL/6, C3H/HeJ (resistant to LPS), and C3H/HeN (control for C3H/HeJ) mice were exposed to N-protein via intratracheal administration to examine acute lung injury. In vitro, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were cultured with N-protein to study phosphorylation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-ĸB) p65, macrophage polarization, and expression of proinflammatory cytokines. Results N-protein produced acute lung injury in C57BL/6 mice, with elevated protein permeability, total cell count, neutrophil infiltration, and proinflammatory cytokines in the bronchioalveolar lavage. N-protein also induced lung injury in both C3H/HeJ and C3H/HeN mice, indicating that the effect could not be attributed to the LPS contamination. N-protein triggered phosphorylation of NF-ĸB p65 in vitro, which was abolished by both N-protein denaturation and treatment with an antibody for N-protein, demonstrating that the effect is N-protein specific. In addition, N-protein promoted M1 macrophage polarization and the expression of proinflammatory cytokines, which was also blocked by N-protein denaturation and antibody for N-protein. Furthermore, N-protein induced NF-ĸB p65 phosphorylation in the lung, while pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, an NF-ĸB inhibitor, alleviated the effect of N-protein on acute lung injury. Conclusions SARS-CoV-2 N-protein itself is toxic and induces acute lung injury in mice. Both N-protein and NF-ĸB pathway may be therapeutic targets for treating multi-organ injuries in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation prioritises treatment for cardiac arrests from a primary cardiac cause, which make up the majority of treated cardiac arrests. Early chest compressions and, when indicated, a defibrillation shock from a bystander give the best chance of survival with a good neurological status. Cardiac arrest can also be caused by special circumstances, such as asphyxia, trauma, pulmonary embolism, accidental hypothermia, anaphylaxis, or COVID-19, and during pregnancy or perioperatively. Cardiac arrests in these circumstances represent an increasing proportion of all treated cardiac arrests, often have a preventable cause, and require additional interventions to correct a reversible cause during resuscitation. The evidence for treating these conditions is mostly of low or very low certainty and further studies are needed. Irrespective of the cause, treatments for cardiac arrest are time sensitive and most effective when given early-every minute counts.

Abstract
Background: Recently, the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in noncardiac surgery, such as thoracic surgery, has increased. However, there have been no studies on the mortality and incidence of intraoperative cardiac arrest with or without ECMO during thoracic surgery. Methods: Between January 2011 and October 2018, 63 patients received ECMO support during thoracic surgery. All patients who applied ECMO from starting at any time before surgery to the day of surgery were included. Patients were divided into the emergency ECMO group and the non-emergency ECMO group according to the timing of ECMO. We compared the factors related to 30 day mortality using Cox regression analysis. Results: The emergency ECMO and non-emergency ECMO groups comprised 27 and 36 patients, respectively. On the operation day, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was a very important result, and only occurred in the emergency ECMO group (n = 20, 74.1% vs. 0%, p < 0.001). The most common cause of ECMO indication was the CPR in the emergency ECMO group and respiratory failure in the non-emergency ECMO group. There were significant differences in 30 day mortality between the emergency ECMO group and the non-emergency ECMO group (n = 12, 44.4% vs. n = 3, 8.3%, p = 0.001). The Kaplan–Meier analysis curve for 30 day mortality showed that the emergency ECMO group had a significantly higher rate of 30 day mortality than the non-emergency ECMO group (X2 = 14.7, p < 0.001). Conclusions: A lower incidence of intraoperative cardiac arrest occurred in the non-emergency ECMO group than in the emergency ECMO group. Moreover, 30 day mortality was associated with emergency ECMO.

Abstract
Studies have demonstrated gaps between developed and developing countries in the quality of surgical and anaesthesia care. The aim of this review was to provide a critical overview of documented outcomes from the 2010s of anaesthesia-related cardiac arrest events in countries with largely differing Human Development Indexes (HDIs). The HDI ranges from 0 to 1, representing the lowest and highest levels of development, respectively. Most related studies conducted between 2011 and 2020 showed low rates (from 0 to 215 per million anaesthetics) of anaesthesia-related mortality up to the 30th postoperative day in very high-HDI countries (HDI ≥ 0.800) and higher rates (from 0 to 915.4 per million anaesthetics) in high-HDI countries (HDI: 0.700-0.799). Low-HDI countries (HDI < 0.550) showed higher anaesthesia-related mortality rates, which were greater than 1500 per million anaesthetics. The anaesthesia-related mortality rates per quartile demonstrated a gap in the anaesthesia-related safety between very high- and high-HDI countries, and especially between very high- and low-HDI countries. Anaesthesia-related cardiac arrest showed similarly high survival proportions in very high-HDI countries (45.9% to 100%) and high-HDI countries (62.9% to 100%), while in a low-HDI country, the anaesthesia-related cardiac arrest survival was lower (22.2%). Our review demonstrates large gaps among countries with largely differing HDIs regarding anaesthesia-related cardiac arrest outcomes in the last decade. This finding highlights the need to improve patient safety care in low-HDI countries. Anaesthesia patient safety has improved in high-HDI countries, but there is still a persistent gap in the health care systems of these countries and those of very high-HDI countries. Our review also found a consistent improvement in anaesthesia patient safety in very high-HDI countries.

Abstract
There are numerous causes of cardiac arrest in the perioperative period, including hypoxia, hypovolemia, and vagal response to medications or procedures during routine anesthetics. Initiation of adequate cardiopulmonary resuscitation, administration of epinephrine, and application of a defibrillator, with shocking when applicable, are all essential steps in achieving return of spontaneous circulation. Knowledge and utilization of monitoring equipment can alert the provider to problems leading to cardiac arrest as well as ensure proper resuscitative efforts during the event. Polypharmacy is quite common with many of today's special needs patients. It is important to understand the medications they are taking as well as the potential interactions that may occur with drugs given during sedation and general anesthesia. The following is a case report of cardiac arrest including asystole and pulseless electrical activity in a 27-year-old man with autism and behavioral problems who presented for restorative dentistry under general anesthesia in the ambulatory surgery setting.

Abstract
Despite the valuable use of modern applications of perioperative ultrasound across multiple disciplines, there have been limitations to its implementation, restricting its impact on patient-based clinical outcomes. Point-of-care ultrasound evaluation of hypoxia and hypotension is an important tool to assess the underlying undifferentiated etiologies in a timely manner. However, there is a lack of consensus on the formal role of ultrasound during evaluation of perioperative hypoxia or hypotension. The previous ultrasound algorithms have adopted a complex technique that possibly ignore the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying the conditions presenting in a similar fashion. The authors here propose a simple, sequential and focused multiorgan approach, applicable for the evaluation of perioperative hypotension and hypoxia in emergency scenarios. The authors believe this approach will enhance the care provided in the postanesthesia care unit, operating room, and intensive care unit.

Abstract
Intra-operative cardiac arrests differ from most in-hospital cardiac arrests because they reflect not only the patient's condition but also the quality of surgery and anaesthesia care provided. We assessed the relationship between intra-operative cardiac arrest rates and country Human Development Index (HDI), and the changes occurring in these rates over time. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, LILACS, Web of Science, CINAHL and SciELO from inception to 29 January 2020. For the global population, rates of intra-operative cardiac arrest and baseline ASA physical status were extracted. Intra-operative cardiac arrest rates were analysed by time, country HDI status and ASA physical status using meta-regression analysis. Proportional meta-analysis was performed to compare intra-operative cardiac arrest rates and ASA physical status in low- vs. high-HDI countries and in two time periods. Eighty-two studies from 25 countries with more than 29 million anaesthetic procedures were included. Intra-operative cardiac arrest rates were inversely correlated with country HDI (p = 0.0001); they decreased over time only in high-HDI countries (p = 0.040) and increased with increasing ASA physical status (p < 0.0001). Baseline ASA physical status did not change in high-HDI countries (p = 0.106), while it decreased over time in low-HDI countries (p = 0.040). In high-HDI countries, intra-operative cardiac arrest rates (per 10,000 anaesthetic procedures) decreased from 9.59 (95%CI 6.59-13.16) pre-1990 to 5.17 (95%CI 4.42-5.97) in 1990-2020 (p = 0.013). During the same time periods, no improvement was observed in the intra-operative cardiac arrest rates in low-HDI countries (p = 0.498). Odds ratios of intra-operative cardiac arrest rates in ASA 3-5 patients were 8.48 (95%CI 1.67-42.99) times higher in low-HDI countries than in high-HDI countries (p = 0.0098). Intra-operative cardiac arrest rates are related to country-HDI and decreased over time only in high-HDI countries. The widening gap in these rates between low- and high-HDI countries needs to be addressed globally.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest in the operating room and in the immediate postoperative period is a potentially catastrophic event that is almost always witnessed and is frequently anticipated. Perioperative crises and perioperative cardiac arrest, although often catastrophic, are frequently managed in a timely and directed manner because practitioners have a deep knowledge of the patient's medical condition and details of recent procedures. It is hoped that the approaches described here, along with approaches for the rapid identification and management of specific high-stakes clinical scenarios, will help anesthesiologists continue to improve patient outcomes.

STUDY OBJECTIVE Factors that influence the occurrence of perioperative cardiac arrest (CA) and its outcomes in trauma patients are not well known. The novelty of our study lies in the performance of a systematic review conducted worldwide on the occurrence of perioperative CA and/or mortality in trauma patients. DESIGN A systematic review was performed to identify observational studies that reported the occurrence of CA and/or mortality due to trauma and CA and/or mortality rates in trauma patients up to 24 h postoperatively. We searched the MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS and SciELO databases through January 29, 2020. SETTING Perioperative period. MEASUREMENTS The primary outcomes evaluated were data on the epidemiology of perioperative CA and/or mortality in trauma patients. MAIN RESULTS Nine studies were selected, with the first study being published in 1994 and the most recent being published in 2019. Trauma was an important factor in perioperative CA and mortality, with rates of 168 and 74 per 10,000 anesthetic procedures, respectively. The studies reported a higher proportion of perioperative CA and mortality in trauma patients who were males, young adults and adults, patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status ≥ III, patients undergoing general anesthesia, and in abdominal or neurological surgeries. Uncontrolled hemorrhage was the main cause of perioperative CA and mortality after trauma. Survival rates after perioperative CA were low. CONCLUSIONS Trauma is an important factor in perioperative CA and mortality, especially in young adult and adult males and in patients classified as having an ASA physical status ≥ III mainly due to uncontrollable bleeding after blunt and perforating injuries. Trauma is a global public health problem and has a strong impact on perioperative morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THIS TOPIC Debriefing after an actual critical event is an established good practice in medicine, but a gap exists between principle and implementation. WHAT THIS ARTICLE TELLS US THAT IS NEW Failure to debrief after critical events is common among anesthesia trainees and likely anesthesia teams. Communication breakdowns are associated with a high rate of the failure to debrief. BACKGROUND Debriefing after an actual critical event is an established good practice in medicine, but a gap exists between principle and implementation. The authors' objective was to understand barriers to debriefing, characterize quantifiable patterns and qualitative themes, and learn potential solutions through a mixed-methods study of actual critical events experienced by anesthesia personnel. METHODS At a large academic medical center, anesthesiology residents and a small number of attending anesthesiologists were audited and/or interviewed for the occurrence and patterns of debriefing after critical events during their recent shift, including operating room crises and disruptive behavior. Patterns of the events, including event locations and event types, were quantified. A comparison was done of the proportion of cases debriefed based on whether the event contained a critical communication breakdown. Qualitative analysis, using an abductive approach, was performed on the interviews to add insight to quantitative findings. RESULTS During a 1-yr period, 89 critical events were identified. The overall debriefing rate was 49% (44 of 89). Nearly half of events occurred outside the operating room. Events included crisis events (e.g., cardiac arrest, difficult airway requiring an urgent surgical airway), disruptive behavior, and critical communication breakdowns. Events containing critical communication breakdowns were strongly associated with not being debriefed (64.4% [29 of 45] not debriefed in events with a communication breakdown vs. 36.4% [16 of 44] not debriefed in cases without a communication breakdown; P = 0.008). Interview responses qualitatively demonstrated that lapses in communication were associated with enduring confusion that could inhibit or shape the content of discussions between involved providers. CONCLUSIONS Despite the value of proximal debriefing to reducing provider burnout and improving wellness and learning, failure to debrief after critical events can be common among anesthesia trainees and perhaps anesthesia teams. Modifiable interpersonal factors, such as communication breakdowns, were associated with the failure to debrief.

Abstract
Background and objectives The perioperative cardiac arrest (CA) and mortality rates in Brazil, a developing country, are higher than in developed countries. The hypothesis of this review was that knowledge of the epidemiology of perioperative CA and mortality in Brazil enables the comparison with developed countries. The systematic review aimed to verify, in studies conducted in Brazil, the epidemiology of perioperative CA and mortality. Method and results A search strategy was carried out on different databases (PubMed, EMBASE, SciELO and LILACS) to identify observational studies that reported perioperative CA and/or mortality up to 48 hours postoperatively in Brazil. The primary outcomes were data on epidemiology of perioperative CA and mortality. In 8 Brazilian studies, there was a higher occurrence of perioperative CA and mortality in males; in extremes of age; in patients in worse physical status according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA); in emergency surgeries; in general anesthesia; and in cardiac, thoracic, vascular, abdominal and neurological surgeries. The patient's disease/condition was the main triggering factor, with sepsis and trauma as the main causes. Conclusions The epidemiology of both perioperative CA and mortality events reported in Brazilian studies does not show important differences and, in general, is similar to studies in developed countries. However, sepsis represents one of the major causes of perioperative CA and mortality in Brazilian studies, contrasting with studies in developed countries in which sepsis is a secondary cause.

Abstract
Over the last decade, the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has increased significantly. In some centers, ECMO has been deployed to manage perioperative emergencies and plays a role in facilitating high-risk thoracic, airway, and trauma surgery, which may not be feasible without ECMO support. General anesthesiologists who usually manage these cases may not be familiar with the initiation and management of patients on ECMO. This review discusses the use of ECMO in the operating room for thoracic, airway, and trauma surgery, as well as obstetric and perioperative emergencies.

Abstract
Individual response to sedatives and hypnotics is characterized by high variability and the identification of a personalized dose during anesthesia in the operating room and during sedation in the intensive care unit may have beneficial effects. Although the brain is the main target of general intravenous and inhaled anesthetic agents, electroencephalography (EEG) is not routinely utilized to explore cerebral response to sedation and anesthesia probably because EEG trace reading is complex and requires encephalographers' skills. Automated processing algorithms (processed EEG, pEEG) of raw EEG traces provide easy-to-use indices that can be utilized to optimize anesthetic management. A large number of high-quality studies and the recommendations of international scientific societies have confirmed the deleterious consequences of inadequate or excessively deep anesthesia (and sedation) level. In this context, anesthesia in the operating rooms and moderate/deep sedation in intensive care units driven by pEEG monitors could become a standard practice in the near future. The aim of the present review was to provide an overview of current knowledge and debate on available technologies for pEEG monitoring and their role in clinical practice for anesthesia and sedation.

Electroacupuncture pretreatment attenuates brain injury in a mouse model of cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation via the AKT/eNOS pathway. Life Sci 2019; 235:116821. [PMID: 31476306 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2019.116821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2019] [Revised: 08/16/2019] [Accepted: 08/29/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
AIMS This study aims to examine the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment on brain injury after cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CA/CPR) and its underlying mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adult male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to 6 min of cardiac arrest induced with a potassium chloride infusion and resuscitated by chest compressions and an epinephrine infusion. During the 3 days prior to CA/CRP, mice received EA pretreatment (1 mA, 2 Hz; daily session of 30 min) at the Baihui acupoint (GV20) once daily. Stimulation at a nonacupoint served as a control. In mechanistic studies, mice received the AKT inhibitor LY294002 or endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) inhibitor L-NIO 30 min before EA pretreatment. A neurological assessment was conducted 24 h after CA/CRP, followed by animal sacrifice and evaluation of physiological brain damage. KEY FINDINGS CA/CPR resulted in severe brain injury as evidenced by neurological deficits and increased neuronal apoptosis, oxidative stress and the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6. EA pretreatment at the GV20 acupoint but not at a nonacupoint attenuated the neurological deficits and the pathological changes induced by CA/CPR. LY294002 or L-NIO eliminated the neuroprotective effects of the EA pretreatment. SIGNIFICANCE This study showed that EA pretreatment at the GV20 acupoint can protect the brain from damage associated with globalized ischemia followed by reperfusion and that these protective effects occur via the AKT/eNOS signaling pathway.
