Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive monitor of regional brain tissue oxygenation, and jugular venous oximetry (SjvO2) is a monitor of global cerebral oxygenation. We report the role of intraoperative multimodal monitoring of cerebral oxygenation in the anesthetic management of a patient with grade III intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) presenting for surgical excision. Real-time monitoring of cerebral oxygenation is of much relevance in high-grade AVMs where anesthetic management is focused on neuroprotection and prevention of cerebral hypoxia. Besides, it also helps in prediction, early detection, and judicious management of perioperative complications, which are commonly encountered in high-grade AVMs.

Background And Aims: While perceived stress and coping strategies have been established as significant determinants of quality of life (QoL) in patients with solid malignancies, their impact on hematological malignancy population have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to examine how perceived stress and medical coping strategies interact with sociodemographic factors to influence QoL in patients with hematologic malignancies.
Methods: The study, involving 185 hematologic cancer patients in China, was conducted between August 2024 and December 2024.

The application of the clinical nursing pathway in the anesthesia recovery room is of great significance for improving nursing quality and reducing the incidence of complications. However, the influence of the clinical nursing pathway construction scheme and implementation path on patient outcomes in the anesthesia recovery room is not clear. In this study, 200 patients in the surgical anesthesia recovery room, aged 50 to 70 years old and graded as American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification System (ASA) II-III, were randomly divided into the control group (n=100) and the interventional group (n=100).

Background: In pediatric intensive care units, pain, sedation, delirium, and iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome (IWS) must be managed as interrelated conditions. Although clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) exist, new evidence needs to be incorporated, gaps in recommendations addressed, and recommendations adapted to the European context.
Objective: This protocol describes the development of the first patient- and family-informed European guideline for managing pain, sedation, delirium, and IWS by the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care.

Background: Carotid blowout syndrome (CBS) is a life-threatening emergency involving the rupture of the carotid arteries and/or branches, often following surgery and radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Our case series aimed to describe airway management strategies, endovascular and surgical approaches, perioperative resuscitation management, and clinical outcomes in a cohort of patients with CBS at a tertiary referral academic health center.
Methods: We retrospectively identified patients presenting with CBS between 2017 and 2021.
