Abstract

Background: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) may occur following cardiac surgery. Although preventing post‐operative complications is vitally important in cardiac surgery, there are few guidelines regarding this issue. This review aimed to characterize SNHL after cardiac surgery. Method: This systematic review was registered on PROSPERO and conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. A systematic search of the PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library were conducted from inception. Eligibility determination, data extraction and methodological quality analysis were conducted in duplicate. Results: There were 23 studies included in the review. In the adult population, there were six cohort studies, which included 36 cases of hearing loss in a total of 7135 patients (5.05 cases per 1000 operations). In seven cohort studies including paediatric patients, there were 88 cases of hearing loss in a total of 1342 operations. The majority of cases of hearing loss were mild in the adult population (56.6%). In the paediatric population 59.2% of hearing loss cases had moderate or worse hearing loss. The hearing loss most often affected the higher frequencies, over 6000 Hz. There have been studies indicating an association between hearing loss and extracorporeal circulation, but cases have also occurred without this intervention. Conclusion: SNHL is a rare but potentially serious complication after cardiac surgery. This hearing loss affects both paediatric and adult populations and may have significant long‐term impacts. Further research is required, particularly with respect to the consideration of screening for SNHL in children after cardiac surgery. Sensorineural hearing loss is a rare but potentially serious complication after cardiac surgery. This hearing loss affects both paediatric and adult populations and may have significant long‐term impacts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Purpose: Nausea is a common and unpleasant sensation for which current therapies such as serotonin (5-HT3) antagonists are often ineffective, while also conferring a risk of potential adverse events. Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) has been proposed as a treatment for nausea. We aimed to compare IPA with 5-HT3 antagonists for the treatment of nausea across all clinical settings. Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, CENTRAL and CINAHL were searched from inception to 17 July 2023 for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing inhaled IPA and a 5-HT3 antagonist for treatment of nausea. Severity and duration of nausea, rescue antiemetic use, adverse events and patient satisfaction were the outcomes sought. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using Cochrane RoB 2. Random-effects model was used for meta-analysis. Combination of meta-analyses and narrative review was used to synthesise findings. The evidence was appraised using GRADE. Results: From 1242 records, 4 RCTs were included with 382 participants. Participants receiving IPA had a significantly lower mean time to 50% reduction in nausea (MD − 20.06; 95% CI − 26.26, − 13.85). Nausea score reduction at 30 min was significantly greater in the IPA group (MD 21.47; 95% CI 15.47, 27.47). IPA led to significantly reduced requirement for rescue antiemetics (OR 0.60; 95% CI 0.37, 0.95; p = 0.03). IPA led to no significant difference in patient satisfaction when compared with a 5-HT3 antagonist. The overall GRADE assessment of evidence quality ranged from very low to low. Conclusion: IPA may provide rapid, effective relief of nausea when compared with 5-HT3 antagonists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The article addresses the issue of long waiting times and limited access to colonoscopy services for rural patients in Australia. It proposes a novel tool and pathway, called the Whyalla Direct Access Tool, which is a simple questionnaire aiming to expedite rural colonoscopy referrals when it is clearly indicated. Topics include direct access to improve national bowel cancer screening, quality assurance, and streamlining access to colonoscopy services.

Abstract

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) was first used in the 1970s. Its use is increasingly common in critical care and perioperative settings and has gained newfound prominence during COVID-19. To guide future research, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of ECMO literature. Thomson Reuters Web of Science was searched to March 7, 2021. Articles were ranked by total number of citations. Data was extracted from the 100 most cited papers relevant to ECMO for study design, topic, author, year, and institution. Journal impact factor for 2019 and Eigenfactor scores were also recorded. Our search retrieved a total of 18,802 articles. Median number of citations for the top 100 articles was 220 (range 157–1,819). These were published in 34 journals, with first authors originating from 15 countries. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery had the highest number of articles (n = 9) while Lancet publications had the most citations (n = 3,191). Use of ECMO was most commonly observed in cardiogenic shock or acute respiratory distress syndrome. United States had the greatest article output (n = 49). With 10 publications, 2013 was the most prolific year. Using linear regression, when controlled for time since publication, there was no statistically significant relationship between 2019 journal impact factor and number of article citations (p = .09). Top articles in the ECMO literature are of considerable impact and quality. As the United States produced the bulk of the prominent evidence base, and most data were regarding respiratory issues, outsized advances in ECMO may be possible within the United States during the COVID-19 era.
