    Abstract Background: Oxytocin and carbetocin are uterotonic medications that are used to decrease postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). However, there are not enough clinical data about the hemodynamic side effects of carbetocin.
    Objectives: This study aimed to compare carbetocin and oxytocin hemodynamic effects in preeclamptic patients undergoing elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
    Methods: In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, intravenous oxytocin or carbetocin was administered to 80 women (40 per group). The hemodynamic effects, such as blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and oxygen (O
    Results: Based on the intragroup comparison, there was a significant increase in HR and a reduction in BP from baseline to all intervals after the administration of both interventions. Moreover, based on the intergroup comparison, there was a significantly more increase in HR and a decline in BP and O
    Conclusions: The minimal effect of carbetocin on patients' hemodynamics suggests extending the use of this drug instead of oxytocin as a uterotonic drug in patients with preeclampsia, hemorrhagic risk factors, and/or hypertension.

    Abstract Background: Despite being a well-described intervention, the optimal anatomical approach to perform a stellate ganglion block (SGB) has been disputed. We compared the subfascial and extrafascial ultrasound-guided (USG) SGB.
    Methods: A randomised clinical trial was conducted, consisting of 50 patients in two groups. Group I received SGB via the subfascial approach while Group II received an SGB via the extrafascial approach. The primary endpoint was successful sympathetic blockade (as indicated by a measured temperature rise of ≥2°C). Secondary endpoints included analgesic efficiency (extent of early onset of pain relief as indicated by >50% improvement in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score at 300's post-procedure); occurrence of Horner's syndrome; extent of local anaesthetic distribution; and adverse events.
    Results: The mean increase in sympathetic blockade was significantly higher in the subfascial group (2.6 ± 0.6°C;
    Conclusions: The degree of temperature rise, pain relief and occurrence of Horner's syndrome were higher in the subfascial than the extrafascial group. The subfascial approach to SGB, with a limited volume of local anaesthetic agent, is a more reliable technique when compared to the extrafascial approach.

    Abstract Background: Noise and distraction are recognized as contributing factors in critical incidents associated with surgery and anesthesia. In addition, excessive noise exposure can have negative effects on patients and staff members in these environments.
    Aims: We aimed to quantify noise exposure of the anesthesiology team and patients in pediatric operating theaters, comparing them to adult studies, internationally recognized standards, and identifying factors contributing to noise and/or distraction.
    Methods: We measured noise levels during three phases of anesthesia (pre-induction, induction, and postinduction/maintenance) and recorded additional environmental sources of distraction and noise.
    Results: We included 49 theater cases. The median and interquartile range (IQR) of mean noise levels during pre-induction, induction, and maintenance were 61 (59.7-63.5), 61.9 (60.6-63.3), and 61.6 (60.4-63.7) dB, respectively, while the median (IQR) of maximal noise levels was 81.4 (77.3-86.8), 83.7 (78.5-87.4), and 86.3 (84.6-90.4), respectively. There was an average of 8.3 people present in the room during induction. In 23 cases, there were additional unnecessary conversations occurring within the room at induction. We noted the maintenance phase was the noisiest phase of anesthesia. We recorded frequent potential sources of distraction during pre-induction and induction, though no significant correlations between these distractions and recorded noise levels.
    Conclusions: We documented noise levels well above recommended levels during all phases of pediatric anesthesia. We highlighted factors with potential to contribute to noise and distraction but found no statistically significant correlation with noise levels.

    Abstract Objectives: Weaning individuals from mechanical ventilation (MV) is a challenge to physicians. Respiratory failure is the main reason for weaning failure (WF), but heart failure plays a pivotal role as well. Transesophageal Doppler (TED) is a minimally invasive method of hemodynamic tracking with fewer problems. The study authors evaluated the role of TED in predicting WF.
    Design: An observational study.
    Setting: A university teaching hospital.
    Participants: Weaning individuals.
    Interventions: TED was applied before initiating the spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). Hemodynamic parameters, arterial blood gases, and TED (peak velocity [PV], cardiac output [COP]) were reported while cases were on MV before initiating the SBT, and at the successful completion of SBT. Succeeded (group S) and failed individuals (group F, who needed reintubation within 48 hours) were compared. The sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating curve were calculated. A subgroup of patients with cardiac comorbidities and impaired cardiac contractility was further analyzed.
    Measurements and main results: The authors included 39 critically ill patients for weaning from MV. The reintubation rate was 54.8%. In patients with cardiac morbidity, delta change (dC) in PV and COP as predictors of WF showed 100% sensitivity and specificity, with 18% and 14% cut-offs after initiating the SBT (dC between the beginning and end of the successful SBT), respectively. Central venous oxygen saturation revealed a significant difference between patients with cardiac morbidity and noncardiac patients with lower sensitivity and specificity in the prediction of WF.
    Conclusions: TED could be a helpful method for the weaning of patients with cardiac morbidity from MV. The dC in PV and COP >18% and >14% were significant predictors of WF in these subjects, respectively.

    Abstract Objective: To the best of our knowledge, no bibliometric studies have characterised the paediatric anaesthesia research in Ireland. In this study, we aim to analyse the research output from two anaesthetic departments in Irish paediatric hospitals.
    Methods: A Scopus database search was conducted to identify the publications from 2007 to 2018 of the departments of anaesthesia and intensive care medicine in the Children's University Hospital, Temple Street (CUH), and Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin (OLCHC).
    Results: The Irish publications in paediatric anaesthesia and intensive care included 108 publications. CUH and OLCHC published 37 (34.9%) and 73 (68.8%) documents, respectively, with 6 (5.6%) documents affiliated with both hospitals. The number of original research articles was 28 (75.7%) for CUH versus 46 (63%) for OLCHC. The number of published reviews was 5 (13.5%) for CUH versus 11 (15.1%) for OLCHC. Over the last 2 years (2016, 2017), the number of OLCHC publications was almost double (13 and 14 publications) that of CUH (4 and 6 publications). For CUH, only two publications were in specialised journals. For OLCHC, 18 publications were in specialised journals, in addition to four publications in high-ranked journals. The mean impact factor for CUH publications was 3.78 (standard deviation [SD], 7.19) versus 4.52 (SD, 10.56) for OLCHC. From OLCHC, 20 authors published with a median h-index of 2.00 (interquartile range, 0-4.25), versus 14 authors form CUH with a median h-index of 1.50 (1.00-4.50).
    Conclusion: Anaesthetic publications from the two Irish paediatric hospitals are unexceptional and with limited cooperation between the two hospitals. Research plans should be implemented.

    Abstract Objectives: This study retrospectively applied Wells' score and YEARS algorithm to the same sample of patients to evaluate the predictive performance of each when compared with the gold standard CT pulmonary angiography.
    Design: Retrospective analytical study.
    Setting: A tertiary University Hospital in Ireland.
    Patients: Data from 794 patients who underwent CT pulmonary angiography to rule out pulmonary embolism.
    Interventions: Patients were analyzed using retrospective application of both Wells' score and YEARS algorithm. Sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio were calculated and compared.
    Measurements and main results: Of 794 scans, 78 (9.8%) were positive for pulmonary embolism. The YEARS algorithm was more sensitive than the Wells' score (97.44% vs 74.36%) but was less specific (13.97% vs 33.94%). Furthermore, the diagnostic odds ratio of YEARS was higher than Wells' score (6.27 vs 1.48). YEARS provides better negative predictive value (98% vs 92.4%), and both scores have poor positive predictive value (10.9%).
    Conclusions: Both scores successfully exclude pulmonary embolism, although YEARS has a better negative predictive value. Both exhibit poor positive predictive value.
