    • 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.
