Article Abstract
Background: Quick response (QR) codes containing anesthesia syllabus data were introduced into an anesthesia information management system. The code was generated automatically at the conclusion of each case and available for resident case logging using a smartphone or tablet. The goal of this study was to evaluate the use and usability/user-friendliness of such system.
Methods: Resident case logging practices were assessed prior to introducing the QR codes. QR code use and satisfactions amongst residents was reassessed at three and six months.
Results: Before QR code introduction only 12/23 (52.2%) residents maintained a case log. Most of the remaining residents (9/23, 39.1%) expected to receive a case list from the anesthesia information management system database at the end of their residency. At three months and six months 17/26 (65.4%) and 15/25 (60.0%) residents, respectively, were using the QR codes. Satisfaction was rated as very good or good.
Conclusions: QR codes for residents' case logging with smartphones or tablets were successfully introduced in an anesthesia information management system and used by most residents. QR codes can be successfully implemented into medical practice to support data transfer.

Background: The relationship between intraoperative end-tidal CO (etCO) levels and postoperative outcomes remains unclear. We conducted a post hoc analysis of two randomised trials in adults undergoing major surgery under general anaesthesia.
Methods: We re-analysed individual participant data comparing high or low positive end-expiratory pressure with low tidal volume intraoperative ventilation using a merged database derived from two randomised trials in non-obese (PROVHILO: ISRCTN70332574) and obese (PROBESE: NCT02148692) patients.

Endovascular aortic arch surgery is an evolving field that offers less invasive alternatives to open surgery. The emergence of new devices and their implantation imply new considerations in the management by the anaesthesiologist during the procedure. An example of this is the NEXUS TRE™ stent, designed to preserve the patency of the supra-aortic trunks without the need for extra-anatomic bypass.

Preoperative drug screening is not routinely performed in Palestine, which poses challenges for medical management, especially during anesthesia for surgical procedures. We aimed to determine the prevalence and types of illicit drugs through preoperative screening of patients undergoing elective surgeries and to compare these findings with self-reported drug use. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2024 in the surgical departments of two tertiary hospitals.
