    Abstract Low heart rate variability (HRV) can potentially identify patients at risk of intraoperative hypotension. However, it is unclear whether cheaper, readily accessible consumer heart rate (HR) monitors can provide similar utility to clinical Holter electrocardiograph (ECG) monitors. The objectives of this study were (1) to assess the validity of using the Polar H10 HR monitor as an alternative to a clinical Holter ECG and (2) to test total power (TP) as a predictor of intraoperative hypotension. The primary outcome was the level of agreement between Polar H10 and Holter ECG. Twenty-three patients undergoing major abdominal surgery with general anesthesia had 5-minute HR recordings taken concurrently with both devices during a pre-anesthetic consultation. Agreement between Polar H10 and Holter ECG was compared via Bland-Altman analysis and Lin's Concordance Correlation Coefficient. Patients were divided into groups based on TP <

    Abstract Objective: We sought to evaluate the association of low rectus femoris cross-sectional area (RFCSA) with hospital length of stay and poorer outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
    Methods: A single right-leg RFCSA was measured with ultrasound preoperatively and baseline characteristics, clinical data, and outcomes recorded. Patients were categorized as low rectus femoris muscle size (lowRF) or normal rectus femoris muscle size (normalRF), if they were in the lowest quartile or not, respectively. All analyses were performed on both body surface area (BSA)- and sex-adjusted RFCSA.
    Results: One hundred eight-four patients had a RFCSA measured with a mean of 5.01 cm
    Conclusions: Low RFCSA has a significant association with increased hospital length of stay, morbidity, and nonhome discharge in patients undergoing cardiac procedures.

    Abstract Neuroendocrine tumors may rarely present after organ transplantation, including cardiac transplant. Treatment is surgical resection with careful perioperative management to optimize blood pressure and intravascular volume. We present the anesthetic management of a patient who was diagnosed with bilateral neuroendocrine tumors soon after heart-lung transplantation and underwent successful staged bilateral adrenalectomy.

    Abstract Background: Diagnostic and interventional flexible bronchoscopy (FB) is increasingly utilized in complex and high-risk patients. Patients are often sedated for comfort and procedure facilitation and hypoxia is commonly observed in this setting. We hypothesized that high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) would reduce the incidence of patients experiencing oxygen desaturation.
    Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, postlung transplant patients booked for FB with transbronchial lung biopsy were assigned to either HFNO or low-flow nasal oxygen (LFNO). The patient and bronchoscopist were blinded to group allocation. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients experiencing mild desaturation [peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2)<94%]. Secondary endpoints included desaturation (SpO2<90%), the number of airway interventions required and procedure interruptions, the duration of oxygen desaturation and patient, bronchoscopist and anesthesiologist satisfaction scores.
    Results: The trial analyzed data from 76 patients (LFNO, n=39; HFNO, n=37). HFNO reduced the proportion of patients experiencing SpO2<94% (43.2% vs. 89.7%, P<0.001) and SpO2<90% (16.2% vs. 69.2%, P<0.001). The FB was interrupted 11 times in 9 patients in the LFNO group, whereas there were no interruptions in the HFNO group. There were no differences in patient and bronchoscopist satisfaction scores between groups, anesthesiologists had higher satisfaction scores when using HFNO (P<0.001).
    Conclusion: Hypoxia occurred less commonly in postlung transplant patients receiving HFNO during FB. Further studies are warranted in other high-risk populations undergoing longer duration FB.

    Abstract Significant hypotension after induction of general anesthesia is common and has the potential for serious complications. This study aimed to determine if pre-operative heart rate variability (HRV) was associated with post-induction hypotension in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. Patients undergoing semi-elective major abdominal surgery were consecutively recruited during pre-admission clinic assessment. Exclusion criteria included cardiac conduction disease, arrhythmias or severe liver or renal disease. Ten minutes of electrocardiogram at 1024 Hz were recorded a median of 3 days pre-operatively. Pre-operative HRV parameters were compared in patients who experienced significant hypotension (fall in systolic and mean arterial pressure (MAP) >30% baseline and MAP ≤60 mmHg) versus those who remained haemodynamically stable after induction of general anesthesia with propofol and fentanyl. Patients who experienced hypotension after general anesthesia induction had significantly lower pre-operative HRV (SDNN 16 vs. 37 ms, p < 0.001), reduced spectral power (total power 262 vs. 1236 ms

    Abstract Background: Utility of depth of anesthesia (DoA) monitors is contentious as evidence appears ambiguous regarding their clinical effectiveness and exact role. We conducted a survey of Australian anesthesiologists to determine their attitudes toward, and how and why they use, DoA monitors.
    Methods: A random sample of 963 anesthesiologists was invited to participate in an anonymous online survey.
    Results: The overall response rate was 30% (289 respondents). Twenty-nine percent (95% confidence interval, 24%-34%) of respondents thought DoA monitoring was indicated in all cases under relaxant general anesthesia. During total IV anesthesia with muscle relaxants, 74% of respondents (69%-79%) opined that DoA monitoring should be mandatory. DoA usage was never used by 5% of respondents (3%-8%), used in less than one-third of cases by 66% (61%-72%), and in more than one-third of cases by 29% (24%-35%). Belief in the usefulness of DoA monitoring for prevention of awareness was strongly associated with higher usage (P < 0.0001, Pearson correlation 0.32). Anesthesiologists were more influenced by higher DoA numbers than lower ones. In comparison with end-tidal anesthetic concentration monitoring, 30% (25%-35%) of respondents felt that DoA monitoring was more effective for prevention of intraoperative awareness. Thirty percent (25%-36%) of respondents reported having a previous case of awareness.
    Conclusions: The relatively frequent use of DoA monitoring contrasts with patterns in the UK, suggesting greater acceptance by Australian anesthesiologists. "Awareness prevention" rather than "recovery enhancement" appears to be the primary driver in DoA monitoring use in Australia. Highly variable usage patterns of DoA monitoring in the context of the current body of evidence suggest the need for greater education on the appropriate use of these monitors.
