AI-assisted peri-operative echocardiography • AI was not tested on haemodynamically unstable patients • the 2 minute delay in AI reporting won't help anaesthetists in emergencies • trend-tracking may be more appropriate #AnSky doi.org/10.1111/anae...

"TIVA may reduce postop nausea & vomiting & improve quality of recovery... while volatile anaesthesia may be simpler, familiar and appropriate in others. Conversely, TIVA requires reliable infusion delivery, vigilance regarding awareness and often processed EEG.." #AnSky doi.org/10.1111/anae...

Recurrence-free survival/recurrence for propofol-based anaesthesia vs. volatile-based anaesthesia in patients living with cancer. #AnSky #MedSky #OncSky doi.org/10.1111/anae...

It's a lot to expect from a few hours of anesthesia.

Does choice of anaesthetic technique influence cancer recurrence, survival and mortality following curative surgery? This systematic review and meta-analysis found that propofol-based & volatile-based anaesthesia yield similar long-term oncological outcomes. #AnSky doi.org/10.1111/anae...
