ing of ED education and empowerment coupled with early risk assessment may help improve BP in a high-risk population.Accurate prediction and monitoring of patient health in the intensive care unit can inform shared decisions regarding appropriateness of care delivery, risk-reduction strategies, and intensive care resource use. Traditionally, algorithmic solutions for patient outcome prediction rely solely on data available from electronic health records (EHR). In this pilot study, we explore the benefits of augmenting existing EHR data with novel measurements from wrist-worn activity sensors as part of a clinical environment known as the Intelligent ICU. We implemented temporal deep learning models based on two distinct sources of patient data (1) routinely measured vital signs from electronic health records, and (2) activity data collected from wearable sensors. As a proxy for illness severity, our models predicted whether patients leaving the intensive care unit would be successfully or unsuccessfully discharged from the hospital. We overcome the challenge of small sample size in our prospective cohort by applying deep transfer learning using EHR data from a much larger cohort of traditional ICU patients. Our experiments quantify added utility of non-traditional measurements for predicting patient health, especially when applying a transfer learning procedure to small novel Intelligent ICU cohorts of critically ill patients.[This corrects the article on p. 497 in vol. 48, PMID 33313590.].Airway management in children with craniofacial anomalies can be complicated and may require multiple attempts with conventional direct laryngoscopy (DL). Videolaryngoscopes (VLs) have a well-established role in difficult airway management in adults; however, their role remains to be fully elucidated in paediatric age group. There is a relative paucity in the literature regarding the role of VLs in cases of syndromic children, and it is not clear whether they should be used as an initial option or as a rescue device. Herein, we report a series of cases of children with Pierre Robin sequence, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, and Hurler's syndrome wherein VLs proved beneficial after multiple failed DL attempts. Following initial failed attempts to intubate using DL, these children were subsequently intubated using VLs. Therefore, VLs should be used for initial intubation attempts in syndromic children with potential difficult airways.An emergency operation was planned for a patient who developed pneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum, which was thought to develop secondary to acute diverticulitis. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnosis could not be performed before the operation. In COVID-19 infection, it has been reported that pneumonia, pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema could be seen in thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan in addition to classic ground-glass opacities. In this study, a modified closed chest drainage system (CCDS) is presented to prevent COVID-19 aerosolisation in a patient undergoing intraoperative tube thoracostomy.We report the case of a 52-year-old female diagnosed with Brugada syndrome (BrS) scheduled to undergo right total knee arthroplasty. General anaesthesia was induced and maintained with thiopental intravenous sodium + remifentanil and sevoflurane + remifentanil infusion, respectively. Rocuronium bromide was used as the muscle relaxant. The defibrillator was ready for use with the electrodes on the patient. Sugammadex was used for muscle relaxant antagonization. Postoperative analgesia was provided by intermittent morphine HCL via an epidural catheter, intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (Meperidine), and intravenous tenoxicam. The patient was discharged on the 6th day without any problem. Anaesthetic management of patients with BrS is challenging for anaesthesiologists, because fatal cardiac arrhythmias can be triggered by many drugs commonly used in the perioperative period such as bupivacaine, lidocaine, neostigmine, propofol, succinylcholine, ketamine, and tramadol. In these cases, a detailed preoperative evaluation including family history, avoidance of drugs triggering arrhythmia, taking precautions against arrhythmia, and using the agents that are reported to be safe are essential for patient safety.Routine use of the autoanalyzer has helped uncover the increasing incidence of thrombocytopenia. Disorders associated with macrothrombocytes with thrombocytopenia necessitate a preoperative evaluation to assess the bleeding tendencies and the need for transfusion of blood products. Harris platelet syndrome is one such disorder where macrothrombocytes with thrombocytopenia are associated with no congenital abnormalities and low risk of bleeding intraoperatively. There are cases where Harris platelet syndrome has been treated with steroids or splenectomy, which is unwarranted. We report successful management of a patient with Harris platelet syndrome who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate under spinal anaesthesia with no complications.Abdominal wall blocks provide considerable analgesia for relieving post-operative pain. Although they have been performed generally for post-operative pain management, abdominal wall blocks can be used as the principal anaesthesia method in certain cases. In this study, the case of a 47-year-old male patient who underwent surgical excisional biopsy for 2 vague intramuscular mass lesions (was within the rectus abdominis muscle and the other was within the transversus abdominis muscle) was presented. Ultrasonography (USG)-guided oblique subcostal transversus abdominis plane block in combination with USG-guided rectus sheath block was performed successfully as anaesthesia for the abdominal wall surgery. The intervention was performed fully under regional anaesthesia without any need for deep sedation or general anaesthesia. Recent research has focused on the use of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists for pain management. Several drugs are known to have this action, including ketamine, which exerts its main analgesic effect through NMDA receptor antagonism. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of low-dose ketamine infusion on opioid exposure for patients undergoing myomectomy surgery under general anaesthesia. A total of 70 women were included in this prospective double-blind trial study. The patients included in this study were American Society of Anaesthesiologists physical status I-II, aged between 18 and 50 years and scheduled for laparotomy myomectomy surgery. Patients were randomised to receive either a bolus of 0.2 mg kg of ketamine followed by a continuous infusion of 0.2 mg kg hr during the operation or a placebo of normal saline. see more Both groups also received morphine as needed for pain relief. The primary outcome was the total amount of morphine used during the intraoperative and postoperative periods.
