Postoperative adverse events may be associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. However, inconsistent definitions of complications and unexpected events have limited accurate analysis of surgical outcomes. In 2004, the Clavien-Dindo classification for postoperative complications has been introduced and has since then been validated in numerous studies, with more than 20.000 citations. Despite the appraisal of the Clavien-Dindo classification in the pediatric surgical literature, some criticize the transfer of grading systems for adults into a pediatric cohort without modification or validation. In a recent study we have shown that few items of the classification do not offer relevant information in pediatric cohorts and we have added organizational and management errors, not integrated in the initial proposal by Dindo et al. Especially, the variety of options for the management of complications based on institutional protocols and logistics is emphasized and a more focused and detailed assessment of the invasiveness of procedures in children is introduced.
Retrospective Non-Randomized Analytical Cohort Study of Completed SARS-CoV2 COVID19 Cases
This is a retrospective case-controlled study of the effect of the use of a neuromuscular blockade (NMB) monitor on the consumption of NMB agents in patients under mechanical ventilation in the context of COVID-19. The use of NMB agents during mechanical ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) improves respiratory support conditions and reduces mortality. In the context of COVID-19 pandemic, patients with severe forms of the disease hospitalized in intensive care units (ICU) benefit from prolonged mechanical ventilation with frequent use of NMB agents. Large amount of such patient admitted in a short time has led to a shortage of NMB agents, particularly cisatracurium. The use of NMB monitors (for example - Train of Four (TOF)) is a well-established practice in general anesthesia. There is no recommendation for the use of NMB monitor in ICU patients available up to date. However, in the attempt to reduce the consumption of NMB agents a NMB monitoring was used in ICU patients during the COVID-19 pandemic at university hospitals of Hospices Civil de Lyon, with the endorsement of the local College of Anesthetists. The aim of our study is to evaluate if the use of a NMB monitor decreases the consumption of NMB agents in patients under mechanical ventilation in the context of COVID-19.
