In this paper, we discuss surgical palliative care for patients with cancer through the lens of frailty and the preoperative context. Historically, palliative care principles such as complex symptom m...
The aim of this review is to evaluate and summarize the evidence for preoperative visit-care of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and to provide evidence-based support for clinical interve...
The review presents an evidence summary report, following the standard of the Fudan University Center for Evidence-based Nursing....
Literature related to preoperative visit-care for transcatheter aortic valve replacement have been retrieved based on the "6S" pyramid model of evidence. The types of literature included systematic re...

A total of 18 articles were included in this review, consisting of 1 systematic review, 1 evidence summary, 3 guidelines and 13 expert consensuses. This review summarized 30 pieces of the best evidenc...
The study has established an ideal foundation of evidence for preoperative visit-care in TAVR. However, throughout the particular application process, it was crucial to assess the feasibility and rele...
This study investigates the effect of pre-operative cluster care nursing on patient compliance during preoperative isolation of pediatric patients from their family members before cochlear implant sur...
A total of 350 pediatric patients who underwent cochlear implant surgery at Sichuan Rehabilitation Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were enrolled. The children were divided into two groups:...
The compliance scores of group E were significantly lower than those of group C (t = 4.141, P < 0.001). The percentage of patients requiring intravenous injection of midazolam was recorded: it was 21....
Pre-operative cluster care nursing can improve patient compliance and reduce the use of sedative drugs during preoperative isolation of pediatric patients from their family members for cochlear implan...
Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in older adults in the United States and is generally considered to be extremely low-risk. As of 2019, routine preoperative eva...
We performed a qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with six primary care providers to explore primary care providers' perspectives on routine preoperative assessment for cataract surger...
Primary care providers commented on the large number of referrals they receive for preoperative assessment before cataract procedures. The analysis revealed an overarching sentiment of resentment over...
Referrals for preoperative clearance for cataract surgery continue to burden providers, patients, and the health system, and represent an opportunity to streamline care in this patient population....
Preoperative medical evaluation can minimize inefficiencies and improve outcomes. Thoughtful use of preoperative testing can aid in that effort, but, conversely, indiscriminate testing can detract fro...
Patients with impaired functional capacity who undergo major surgery are at increased risk of postoperative morbidity including complications and increased length of stay. These outcomes have been ass...
We conducted a health economic analysis focused on the subset of Measurement of Exercise Tolerance before Surgery (METS) study participants in Ontario, Canada. Participants were scheduled for major el...
Our study included 487 patients (mean [standard deviation] age 68 [11] yr and 47.0% female) who underwent noncardiac surgery between 13 June 2013 and 8 March 2016. Overall, the median [interquartile r...
In patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery, common measures of functional capacity are not consistently associated with total postoperative cost. Until further data exist that differ from this an...
Patients with vascular disease represent a particularly high-risk surgical population. Many of the comorbidities that contribute to their vascular presentation impact a number of vascular beds or othe...
Failure to adhere to perioperative fasting requirements increases aspiration risk and can lead to delay or cancellation of surgery. Point of care gastric ultrasound may guide decision-making to delay,...
This study aimed to describe gastric contents using point of care gastric ultrasound in pediatric patients with known fasting guideline violations presenting for elective surgery. This was a single-ce...
We identified 106 patients with a median age of 4.8 years. There were 31 patients (29.2%) that had ultrasound finding of high-risk gastric contents. These patients had cases that were delayed, cancell...
It is feasible to use preoperative point of care gastric ultrasound to determine stomach contents and risk-stratify pediatric patients presenting for elective surgical procedures with fasting non-adhe...
Intraoperative complications of hysteroscopy, such as the creation of a false passage, cervix dilatation failure, and uterine perforation, may require suspension of the procedure. Some patients refuse...
This is a double-blind clinical trial involving 37 postmenopausal patients undergoing surgical hysteroscopy. Participants used promestriene or placebo vaginally daily for 2 weeks and then twice a week...
There were 2 out of 14 (14.3%) participants with complications in the promestriene group and 4 out of 23 (17.4%) participants in the placebo group (p=0.593). The complications were difficult cervical ...
Cervical preparation with promestriene did not reduce intraoperative complications in postmenopausal patients undergoing surgical hysteroscopy....
Preoperative depression is an underappreciated comorbidity that has important implications for postoperative outcomes. Screening for symptoms of depression before surgery can identify patients with or...
