Identifying intraoperative events in a simulated laparotomy video: a multinational study of inattentional blindness among anesthesiologists
Medical errors may be occasionally explained by inattentional blindness (IB), i.e., failing to notice an event/object that is in plain sight. We aimed to determine whether age/experience, restfulness/fatigue, ...

Differential sensory block during labour epidural analgesia: a prospective observational study to investigate the relationship of lower and upper sensory block levels to cold, pinprick, and light touch
A zone of differential block to cold has been recently documented during labour epidural analgesia, with an upper sensory block level (USBL) and a lower sensory block level (LSBL). We aimed to determine the co...

Open AccessUltrasound-guided erector spinae plane block for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery: a double-blinded randomized controlled trial
Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) surgery is associated with significant postoperative pain. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) ...

Real-world evidence for the use of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter–defibrillators in China: A single-center experience
Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter–defibrillators (S-ICDs) have been shown to be non-inferior to transvenous ICDs in the prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD), but there is still a lack of evidence from ...

Machine learning to predict hemodynamically significant CAD based on traditional risk factors, coronary artery calcium and epicardial fat volume
We sought to establish an explainable machine learning (ML) model to screen for hemodynamically significant coronary artery disease (CAD) based on traditional risk factors, coronary artery calcium (CAC) and ep...

Prognostic value of myocardial flow reserve measured with CZT cardiac-dedicated SPECT low-dose dynamic myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with INOCA
Clinical use of dynamic myocardial perfusion imaging (D-MPI) of cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) cardiac-dedicated SPECT is growing, showing a higher application value than conventional SPECT. The prognostic value...

Open AccessLandiolol for the prevention of postoperative atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication following cardiac surgery. Although the evidence suggests that beta blockers prevent POAF, they often cause hypotension. Landiolol, an ultra-sh...

Left ventricular systolic dyssynchrony: a novel imaging marker for early assessment of myocardial damage in Chinese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with normal left ventricular ejection fraction and normal myocardial perfusion
Myocardial damage is the important cause of heart failure (HF) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which is difficult to early diagnose, especially in T2DM with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)...
