An international prospective observational study determined that isoelectric events are common worldwide in young children during #anesthesia and associated with age, specific anesthetic practices, and intraoperative hypotension. Read the research: ow.ly/OYjf50RzBWq

“Postoperative atrial fibrillation is not a transient benign phenomenon, but rather an ominous postoperative complication associated with increased risk of thromboembolism, stroke, and mortality.” Authors discuss inflammation and atrial fibrillation: ow.ly/OMi150RzvC8

Postoperative atelectasis was lower in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery under dynamic compliance–guided PEEP versus PEEP of 8 cm H2O. Postoperative Pao2/Fio2 did not differ between the two groups. Read more: ow.ly/vgh550RzuRe
