Healthcare systems contribute significantly to climate change, with perioperative care among the most resource-intensive domains. Anesthetic practice plays a major role due to the environmental burden of volatile agents and the growing challenges of plastic waste and water pollution. This commentary examines the environmental trade-offs inherent in current anesthetic techniques and outlines equitable, context-specific strategies for greener perioperative care.
Practical approaches include minimizing fresh gas flow, avoiding desflurane and nitrous oxide, and adopting intravenous or regional techniques when clinically appropriate. While volatile-capture devices have been proposed as a technical solution, recent real-world studies demonstrate low efficiency and prohibitive costs, highlighting the need for alternative strategies. Equally important are innovations from resource-limited settings, such as low-cost reusable equipment and streamlined supply practices, which offer scalable lessons for high-resource health systems.
This commentary further underscores the importance of governance and local leadership. Strengthening institutional review boards in resource-limited settings ensures sustainability initiatives align with local priorities rather than being externally imposed. By integrating clinical, environmental, and ethical considerations, anesthesiologists can act as change agents who drive sustainable practices in both high- and low-resource contexts.
In conclusion, achieving green anesthesia requires acknowledging unavoidable trade-offs, tailoring solutions to local realities, and promoting mutual learning across diverse health systems. Equity and context-specific strategies are central to ensuring that perioperative sustainability advances environmental goals while supporting patient safety, resource stewardship, and social justice.
医疗保健系统对气候变化的影响很大,其中围手术期护理是资源最密集的领域之一。由于挥发性物质的环境负担以及塑料废物和水污染日益严峻的挑战,麻醉实践起着重要作用。这篇评论审查了当前麻醉技术中固有的环境权衡,并概述了公平的、针对具体情况的围手术期护理策略。实用的方法包括尽量减少新鲜气体流量,避免使用地氟醚和一氧化二氮,并在临床上适当时采用静脉注射或局部技术。虽然挥发性物质捕获设备已被提议作为一种技术解决方案,但最近的实际研究表明效率低且成本过高,这突出了对替代策略的需求。同样重要的是来自资源有限环境的创新,例如低成本可重复使用的设备和精简的供应做法,这为资源丰富的卫生系统提供了可扩展的经验。这篇评论进一步强调了治理和地方领导的重要性。在资源有限的情况下加强机构审查委员会,确保可持续性倡议与当地优先事项保持一致,而不是外部强加。通过整合临床、环境和伦理方面的考虑,麻醉师可以作为变革推动者,在资源丰富和资源匮乏的环境中推动可持续实践。总之,实现绿色麻醉需要承认不可避免的取舍,根据当地实际情况定制解决方案,并促进不同卫生系统之间的相互学习。公平和针对具体情况的战略对于确保围手术期可持续性推进环境目标,同时支持患者安全、资源管理和社会公正至关重要。

Background/aim

Coronary artery bypass grafting is a widely performed surgical procedure in patients with advanced coronary artery disease. Despite physical recovery, patients in the postoperative period frequently experience cardiac symptoms, increased anxiety, and concerns about death, which may negatively affect their overall recovery and quality of life. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate cardiac symptoms, anxiety levels, and attitudes toward death in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting via telehealth and to demonstrate the potential of this approach as a significant support in enhancing the effectiveness of postoperative care.

Methods

This prospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted at the authors’ institution. The study included 180 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery and completed at least four to six weeks of the postoperative period. During the data collection process, patients were reached by telehealth method and sociodemographic and health-related data recording form, Cardiac Symptom Scale, Dyspnoea-12 Scale, Beck Anxiety Scale, Death Anxiety Scale, and Attitude Towards Death Scale were used. The reporting of this study was conducted in accordance with the STROBE guidelines.

Results

The most common cardiac symptoms were sadness (18.3%), sleep problems (18.3%), shortness of breath (16.1%), chest pain (15.6%), and fatigue (13.9%). Fatigue and shortness of breath were reported as the most severe and debilitating symptoms. Significant positive correlations were found between dyspnea, anxiety, fear of death, and cardiac symptoms (p<0.05). Of the participants in the study, 14.4% were readmitted to the hospital after discharge, with the most common reasons for readmission being shortness of breath (46.2%), tachycardia (15.4%), and fatigue (11.5%). A significant and positive relationship was found between psychiatric outpatient clinic visits and the total Beck Anxiety Scale score (p<0.001).

Conclusions

It has been determined that an increase in the severity of cardiac symptoms following coronary artery bypass grafting leads to a significant rise in patients' levels of anxiety and fear of death, highlighting the importance of monitoring patients' physical and psychological conditions during the postoperative period. In this context, telehealth applications can be used as an easily accessible and economical method in the follow-up and evaluation processes of patients, and can be an important tool in effectively supporting the recovery process.
背景/目的冠状动脉旁路移植术是一种广泛应用于晚期冠状动脉疾病患者的外科手术。尽管身体恢复,但术后患者经常出现心脏症状,焦虑增加,担心死亡,这可能对他们的整体恢复和生活质量产生负面影响。本研究旨在通过远程医疗全面评估冠状动脉旁路移植术后患者的心脏症状、焦虑水平和对死亡的态度,并证明这种方法在提高术后护理有效性方面的潜力。方法本前瞻性、描述性、横断面研究在作者所在机构进行。该研究包括180名接受冠状动脉搭桥手术并完成至少4至6周术后期的患者。在数据收集过程中,采用远程医疗方法和社会人口学及健康相关数据记录表对患者进行访问,使用心脏症状量表、呼吸困难-12量表、贝克焦虑量表、死亡焦虑量表和死亡态度量表。本研究的报告是按照STROBE指南进行的。结果最常见的心脏症状为悲伤(18.3%)、睡眠问题(18.3%)、呼吸短促(16.1%)、胸痛(15.6%)和疲劳(13.9%)。据报道,疲劳和呼吸短促是最严重和使人虚弱的症状。呼吸困难、焦虑、死亡恐惧与心脏症状之间存在显著正相关(p < 0.05)。在该研究的参与者中,14.4%的人在出院后再次入院,最常见的原因是呼吸短促(46.2%)、心动过速(15.4%)和疲劳(11.5%)。精神科门诊就诊次数与贝克焦虑量表总分呈显著正相关(p<0.001)。结论冠状动脉旁路移植术后心脏症状严重程度的增加导致患者焦虑和死亡恐惧水平的显著升高,突出了术后监测患者身心状况的重要性。在这方面,远程保健应用可作为患者随访和评价过程中易于获得和经济的方法,并可成为有效支持康复过程的重要工具。

Background

Fibroblastic sleeve (FS) and catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) are two distinct non–infective complications of venous access devices and differentiating between them is essential for decision-making on therapeutic interventions. This study explored the incidence of FS and CRT with the novel midclavicular midline catheters.

Methods

Fifty consecutive mid-clavicular midline catheters during the study period were scanned at the bedside every alternate day using established diagnostic criteria to identify the development and progression of FS and CRT. The presence of forward and backwards flow, types of infusates and signs of local and systemic infections were recorded by the departmental vascular access team.

Results

50 catheters served for 513 catheter days. The FS was identified in 12 catheters on a median catheter day of 7. The detection of FS coincides with the loss of backwards flow, and none of the FS progressed to CRT, and 83 % of FS catheters completed the intended duration of therapy. The CRT was noted in 6 catheters on a median catheter day of 5.5. Among the 6 CRT, 3 were symptomatic necessitating removal on detection, while three asymptomatic CRT were removed on loss of forward flow on median catheter day of 5. All CRTs were resolved on patient discharge without anticoagulant intervention.

Conclusion

The incidence of FS and CRT was 23 and 11.7 per 1000 catheter days, respectively. The incidence of symptomatic CRT was 5.85 per 1000 catheter days. Catheter removal led to thrombus dissolution in all patients without the need for therapeutic anticoagulation.

Background

Perioperative pressure injuries (PIs) are a preventable source of morbidity in surgical patients, commonly arising from sustained tissue loading over bony prominences. Evidence on the relative efficacy of padding materials across surgical positions remains limited, particularly from controlled simulation-based studies.

Aim

To compare the effectiveness of five padding materials in redistributing interface pressure and preventing early skin changes across common surgical positions.

Methods

A prospective, simulation-based study was conducted on 20 healthy volunteers. Participants were sequentially placed in supine, prone, lateral decubitus, lithotomy, and Trendelenburg positions. Five padding materials—viscoelastic memory foam, silicone gel sheets, polyurethane foam, air-inflated pads, and cotton sheets—were applied in randomized order at high-risk anatomical points. Interface pressures were measured using a pressure mapping system at 5 and 15 min, while skin was assessed using a modified Skin Pressure Assessment Score (SPAS). Data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA.

Results

Mean peak pressures across conditions were consistent (∼29–31 mmHg). Neither padding material nor position independently influenced interface pressure (p > 0.75). A significant interaction was observed (p = 0.035), driven by slightly higher pressures with silicone gel compared to cotton in the lithotomy position (p = 0.028). Mean SPAS scores ranged from 1.3 to 1.6 (mild transient erythema), with no significant differences between padding materials or positions (p > 0.5).

Conclusion

All tested padding materials performed similarly in pressure redistribution and early skin protection under short simulated exposures. While advanced materials did not show superiority over cotton in this setting, further clinical trials with longer operative durations and at-risk patients are warranted to confirm their role in PI prevention.
背景围手术期压力损伤(PIs)是外科患者发病率的一个可预防的来源,通常由骨突出处持续的组织负荷引起。关于填充材料在手术体位上的相对有效性的证据仍然有限,特别是来自基于对照模拟的研究。目的比较5种填充物在常见手术体位界面压力再分配和预防早期皮肤变化方面的效果。方法对20名健康志愿者进行前瞻性模拟研究。参与者依次采用仰卧位、俯卧位、侧卧位、取石位和Trendelenburg位。五种填充物粘弹性记忆泡沫、硅胶片、聚氨酯泡沫、充气垫和棉片按随机顺序应用于高危解剖点。在5分钟和15分钟使用压力测绘系统测量界面压力,同时使用改良的皮肤压力评估评分(SPAS)评估皮肤。数据分析采用重复测量方差分析。结果不同条件下的平均峰值压力是一致的(~ 29-31 mmHg)。填充材料和位置都不单独影响界面压力(p > 0.75)。观察到显著的相互作用(p = 0.035),与取石位置的棉花相比,硅胶的压力略高(p = 0.028)。平均SPAS评分范围为1.3 - 1.6(轻度短暂性红斑),填充物和填充物位置之间无显著差异(p > 0.5)。结论所有填充物在短时间模拟暴露下的压力再分配和早期皮肤保护效果相似。虽然在这种情况下,先进的材料并没有表现出优于棉花的优势,但有必要对更长的手术时间和高危患者进行进一步的临床试验,以证实它们在预防PI方面的作用。

Aim

This study aimed to determine the effect of music therapy on postoperative pain and physiological parameters in patients undergoing lobectomy.

Method

This prospective and randomized controlled study was conducted between January 2023 and September 2024 in the Thoracic Surgery Clinic of Trakya University. The study was determined to be performed with at least 20 patients in each group and 60 patients in total. Patients were divided into Group 1 (nature-based sound therapy), Group 2 (music of the patient's own choice), and Group 3 (control group).

Results

According to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd measurement values of the pain variable of the patients participating in the study, it was determined that the pain score of the nature-based sound therapy group was statistically significantly lower than the music and control group (p = 0.000; p = 0.002; p = 0.002; p = 0.000; p < 0.05).

Conclusion

It was determined that the pain score of the nature-based sound therapy group of the patients participating in the study was lower than the music and control group in the first minutes after surgery. In addition, it was determined that the pain level of the nature-based sound therapy group was lower in the 8th hour after the intervention compared to before.
目的探讨音乐治疗对肺叶切除术患者术后疼痛及生理指标的影响。方法本前瞻性随机对照研究于2023年1月至2024年9月在Trakya大学胸外科诊所进行。本研究确定每组至少20例患者,共60例患者。将患者分为1组(自然声疗法)、2组(患者自己选择的音乐)和3组(对照组)。结果根据参与研究患者疼痛变量的第1、2、3次测量值,确定自然声治疗组疼痛评分低于音乐组和对照组,差异有统计学意义(p = 0.000; p = 0.002; p = 0.002; p = 0.000; p < 0.05)。结论参与研究的患者在术后第一分钟,自然声治疗组的疼痛评分低于音乐组和对照组。此外,我们还确定自然声疗法组在干预后第8小时的疼痛水平较干预前有所降低。

Background

Theatre inefficiencies can lead to delayed care, increased costs, and reduced patient satisfaction. A tertiary hospital in regional Australia identified delays in orthopaedic surgery start times and prolonged turnaround times.

Methods

A strategic initiative to improve theatre efficiency was introduced at a regional tertiary hospital in south-west Victoria, Australia in July 2023. Operating room data were compared 12 months pre and post intervention.

Intervention

Earlier starting times for perioperative staff, improved timepoint recording and focus on causes for delay.

Results

Procedure volume increased by 6 %. On-time starts rose from 38 % to 47 % (p < 0.01), and turnaround time decreased by 2 min (p = 0.02). Recorded reasons for delay increased and "Not specified" decreased.

Conclusion

Small but meaningful changes improved data capture and theatre flow.

Recommendations

Redesigning theatre processes using value stream mapping can lead to measurable improvements in theatre efficiency and data quality. With enhanced data capture, further targeted process such as optimising staffing patterns, improving handover protocols, and reducing variability in surgical lists can be made.
背景:医院效率低下会导致护理延误、成本增加和患者满意度降低。澳大利亚地区的一家三级医院发现,骨科手术开始时间延迟,周转时间延长。方法2023年7月,在澳大利亚维多利亚州西南部的一家区域三级医院实施了一项提高手术室效率的战略倡议。比较干预前后12个月的手术室数据。干预措施:提前围手术期工作人员的开始时间,改进时间点记录,并关注延误的原因。结果手术量增加6%。准时开工率从38%上升到47% (p < 0.01),周转时间减少了2分钟(p = 0.02)。记录的延迟原因增加,“未指明”减少。结论:小而有意义的改变改善了数据采集和手术室流程。建议使用价值流图重新设计剧院流程可以导致剧院效率和数据质量的可衡量的改进。通过增强数据采集,可以制定进一步的目标流程,如优化人员配置模式、改进交接协议和减少手术清单的可变性。

Introduction: Accurate estimation of surgical case duration is essential for operating room (OR) efficiency. We aimed to evaluate the performance of machine learning (ML) models to predict surgery duration compared to conventional estimation, and to explore the factors affecting ML performance and its practical implementation.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, we searched literature using MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL for articles published between January 2019 and October 2024. Studies were eligible if they evaluated an ML-based model, reported performance data, and compared the models to traditional estimation methods. The risk of bias was assessed using the Prediction model Risk Of Bias Assessment Tool.
Results: Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria. Models trained on specific surgical populations generally outperformed broader models. Several studies had methodological issues, such as incomplete handling of missing data and limited validation. ML models typically improved accuracy over traditional estimates. The average improvement was 25.7 %, with the best models reducing error rates by 51 %. We found no correlation (r = −0.01) between the number of predictor variables and the percentage improvement in prediction accuracy.
Discussion: ML-based surgical duration prediction shows promise for improving OR scheduling efficiency. However, challenges remain, including the need for standardized reporting, robust external validation, and practical integration into existing workflows. The risk of bias and inconsistent reporting of validation methods reduces confidence in the generalizability of ML performance. Heterogeneity in study and model designs complicates direct comparisons. Adopting standardized ML model development and testing protocols for surgical duration prediction can better demonstrate its benefits.
准确估计手术病例持续时间对手术室效率至关重要。我们的目的是评估机器学习(ML)模型在预测手术持续时间方面的性能,并与传统估计相比较,探讨影响ML性能的因素及其实际实施。方法:按照PRISMA指南,我们使用MEDLINE、Embase和CINAHL检索2019年1月至2024年10月间发表的文献。如果研究评估了基于ml的模型,报告了性能数据,并将模型与传统估计方法进行了比较,则该研究是合格的。使用预测模型偏倚风险评估工具评估偏倚风险。结果:11项研究符合纳入标准。在特定手术人群上训练的模型通常优于更广泛的模型。一些研究存在方法学上的问题,例如对缺失数据的处理不完整和验证有限。ML模型通常比传统估计提高了准确性。平均改进为25.7%,最好的模型将错误率降低了51%。我们发现预测变量的数量与预测准确度提高百分比之间没有相关性(r = - 0.01)。讨论:基于ml的手术时间预测有望提高手术室调度效率。然而,挑战仍然存在,包括需要标准化的报告、健壮的外部验证,以及与现有工作流的实际集成。验证方法的偏倚和不一致报告的风险降低了对机器学习性能可泛化性的信心。研究和模型设计的异质性使直接比较复杂化。采用标准化的ML模型开发和测试方案进行手术时间预测可以更好地展示其优势。

The future of percutaneous tracheostomy: Is it time to embrace intensivist-led bedside practice? 经皮气管切开术的未来:是时候接受强化医生主导的床边实践了吗?
IF 1 Q2 Nursing Pub Date : 2025-11-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.pcorm.2025.100580

The evolution of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) reflects the growing procedural autonomy of intensivists and the shift toward resource-conscious, patient-centered critical care. Bedside PDT performed or led by trained intensivists or dedicated tracheostomy teams has been shown to be safe, cost-effective, and carries an important ethical advantage by avoiding transport-related risks and reducing preventable harm compared with surgical tracheostomy in the operating room. It avoids transport-related risks, enhances care continuity, and optimizes ICU workflow—benefits that proved vital during the COVID-19 pandemic. Broader adoption of intensivist-led bedside PDT should be viewed not merely as a clinical option, but as a professional and institutional imperative.
经皮扩张性气管切开术(PDT)的发展反映了重症医师日益增长的手术自主性,以及向资源意识、以患者为中心的重症监护的转变。由训练有素的重症医师或专门的气管切开术团队执行或领导的床边PDT已被证明是安全的,具有成本效益的,并且与手术室的气管切开术相比,通过避免与运输相关的风险和减少可预防的伤害,具有重要的伦理优势。它避免了运输相关的风险,提高了护理的连续性,并优化了ICU的工作流程——在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,这些优势被证明至关重要。更广泛地采用强化医生主导的床边PDT不应仅仅被视为一种临床选择,而是一种专业和制度上的必要。

Background

Peer-mentoring-based education is one of the most important educational aspects that constitutes a significant part of developing competent individuals. This study is a quasi-experimental study that investigates the impact of the peer-mentor program on the clinical competence of surgical technology students.

Methods

The present study is a quasi-experimental investigation conducted with 29 undergraduate students in the fourth semester of surgical technology, divided into control and intervention groups, with a pretest and posttest. The data collection tool was the Operating Room Nurses’ Clinical Competence self-assessment questionnaire, which was completed before and after the training. Descriptive statistics and independent-samples t-tests were used for data analysis.

Results

The results of this study indicated a statistically significant difference between the clinical competence scores before and after the intervention, demonstrating an increase in the clinical competence scores of students in both groups after the intervention (p < 0.05). The independent t-test showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the mean clinical competence scores between the two groups after the intervention (p > 0.05).

Conclusions

The results of this research indicated that the clinical competence scores of students who utilized the peer-mentoring educational method were similar to those of the instructor-led group, suggesting that this educational approach can be as effective as instruction by teachers. Therefore, it is essential to develop clinical educational programs that provide a pathway for academic growth and an appropriate environment for acquiring clinical skills in learners.
同伴导师制教育是教育中最重要的方面之一,是培养有能力的个体的重要组成部分。本研究是一项准实验研究,探讨同侪导师计划对外科技术学生临床能力的影响。方法对29名外科技术专业本科四学期学生进行准实验调查,分为对照组和干预组,进行前测和后测。数据收集工具为《手术室护士临床能力自评问卷》,分别于培训前后完成。数据分析采用描述性统计和独立样本t检验。结果本研究结果显示干预前后临床能力得分差异有统计学意义,干预后两组学生临床能力得分均有提高(p < 0.05)。经独立t检验,干预后两组患者的平均临床能力得分比较,差异无统计学意义(p > 0.05)。结论本研究结果显示,采用同侪导师制教育方式的学生临床能力得分与教师导师制教育方式的学生相似,表明同侪导师制教育方式与教师导师制教育方式同样有效。因此,必须发展临床教育计划,为学习者提供学术成长的途径和获得临床技能的适当环境。

This tutorial study provides a comprehensive overview of internal consistency measures used in reliability analysis, focusing on six primary models: Cronbach's alpha, Kuder-Richardson methods (KR-20 and KR-21), Guttman's lambda-2, parallel and strict parallel methods, and McDonald's omega coefficient. The methods discussed are applicable primarily to psychometric instruments and questionnaire-based data commonly used in social, behavioral, and educational sciences. Internal consistency is crucial for assessing the reliability of measurement scales in these fields. The study reviews each method, detailing their theoretical underpinnings, assumptions, and practical applications, alongside software guidelines for implementation in SPSS, R, and STATA. It highlights the distinctions between these methods, particularly emphasizing the advantages of McDonald's omega over Cronbach's alpha for more accurate reliability estimates. This work aims to fill the gap in existing literature by providing a thorough comparative analysis and practical guidance for researchers seeking to measure internal consistency effectively.
