Whether third-generation hydroxyethyl starch solutions provoke kidney injury or haemostatic abnormalities in patients having cardiac surgery remains unclear. We tested the hypotheses that intra-operative administration of a third-generation starch does not worsen postoperative kidney function or haemostasis in cardiac surgical patients compared wit...

There is conflicting evidence whether allogeneic blood transfusion influences survival or cancer recurrence after resection of hepatocellular cancer. We followed up 1469 patients who had undergone hepatocellular resection for a median (IQR [range]) of 45 (21-78 [0-162]) months, of whom 626 (43%) had had blood transfusion within 7 days of surgery. B...

Obstructive sleep apnoea and residual neuromuscular blockade are, independently, known to be risk factors for respiratory complications after major surgery. Residual effects of neuromuscular blocking agents are known to reduce the hypoxic ventilatory response in healthy volunteers. Patients with obstructive sleep apnoea have impaired control of bre...

Postoperative nausea and vomiting is the most common side-effect of opioid-based intravenous patient-controlled analgesia. Apfel's simplified risk score is popular but it has some limitations. We developed and validated a dynamic predictive model for nausea or vomiting up to 48 postoperative hours, available as an online web application. Fentanyl w...
