Journal ArticleDOI

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning and Outcomes of Cardiac Surgery.

TL;DR: Remote ischemic preconditioning did not improve clinical outcomes in patients undergoing elective on-pump CABG with or without valve surgery and there were no significant between-group differences in either adverse events or the secondary end points of perioperative myocardial injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global patient outcomes after elective surgery: Prospective cohort study in 27 low-, middle- and high-income countries

T. Ahmad, +2519 more
TL;DR: Despite lower baseline risk, outcomes were similar in low- and middle-income compared with high-income countries and should also address the need for safe perioperative care.
Journal ArticleDOI

Remote intermittent ischemia before coronary artery bypass graft surgery: a strategy to reduce injury and inflammation?

TL;DR: In patients undergoing CABG surgery RI does not provide myocardial protection under a strict anesthetic regime with volatile anesthesia until CPB, and RI was not associated with changes in cytokines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effectiveness of a national quality improvement programme to improve survival after emergency abdominal surgery (EPOCH): a stepped-wedge cluster-randomised trial

Carol J. Peden, +560 more
- 01 Jun 2019 - 
TL;DR: No survival benefit was observed from this QI programme to implement a care pathway for patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery, and future QI programmes should ensure that teams have both the time and resources needed to improve patient care.
