    • Missing data imputation techniques for wireless continuous vital signs monitoring
    Authors: Mathilde C., van Rossum; Pedro M. Alves da, Silva; Ying, Wang;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Wireless vital signs sensors are increasingly used for remote patient monitoring, but data analysis is often challenged by missing data periods. This study explored the performance of various imputation techniques for continuous vital signs measurements. Wireless vital signs measurements (heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen saturation, axillary temperature) from surgical ward patients were used for repeated random simulation of missing data periods (gaps) of 5–60 min in two-hour windows.
    • Does pericapsular nerve group block have limited analgesia at the initial post-operative period? Systematic review and meta-analysis
    Authors: Ahmed, Farag; Nada Ibrahim, Hendi; Rehab Adel, Diab;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Perioperative pain management related to hip surgical procedures is challenging. Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is a novel technique that is assumed to provide better analgesia in addition to its post-operative motor-sparing effect. In this review, we aim to assess the safety and efficacy of PENG block on pain management in patients undergoing hip surgeries. Fifteen clinical trials with a total of 837 patients were included. Pain scores favored PENG group when compared to FICB group (fascia iliaca compartment block) or analgesics-only group, but the difference could only be detected in the early post-operative period. Afterward, it seems to lose its superiority, and no difference could be detected. In addition, cumulative opioid consumption favored PENG group at 24 h but not ...
    • Anaesthetic considerations in Shrinking Man syndrome: two case reports
    Authors: Yan, Xu; Ying, Hong; Xin, Liu;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Shrinking Man syndrome (SMS) is a rare but often serious complication of dialysis-dependent end-stage renal disease, characterized by significant loss of height, bone pain, bone deformity, and skin itching. Patients with SMS always have abnormal facial changes and cardiovascular system damage (manifested by hypertension, hypotension, cardiovascular calcification, and valvular heart disease), which pose a great challenge to anaesthesiologists. The purpose of this report is to describe our anaesthetic experience regarding two patients with SMS combined with alterations of the airway and cardiovascular system.
    • Development and usage of an anesthesia data warehouse: lessons learnt from a 10-year project
    Authors: Antoine, Lamer; Mouhamed Djahoum, Moussa; Romaric, Marcilly;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    This paper describes the development and implementation of an anesthesia data warehouse in the Lille University Hospital. We share the lessons learned from a ten-year project and provide guidance for the implementation of such a project. Our clinical data warehouse is mainly fed with data collected by the anesthesia information management system and hospital discharge reports. The data warehouse stores historical and accurate data with an accuracy level of the day for administrative data, and of the second for monitoring data.
    • Global critical care a call to action
    Authors: Ana Maria, Crawford; Ananya Abate, Shiferaw; Papytcho, Ntambwe;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Critical care is underprioritized. A global call to action is needed to increase equitable access to care and the quality of care provided to critically ill patients. Current challenges to effective critical care in resource-constrained settings are many. Estimates of the burden of critical illness are extrapolated from common etiologies, but the true burden remains ill-defined. Measuring the burden of critical illness is epidemiologically challenging but is thought to be increasing. Resources, infrastructure, and training are inadequate. Millions die unnecessarily due to critical illness.
