Outcomes Research Consortium

Congratulations to @KRuetzler who will return to Austria and serve as Professor of Anesthesiology and Chair of Anesthesiology and ICU @Ordensklinikum. With 200+ publications he is one of the most established researchers and surely the leading trialist in Austria! Well deserved!

Clinicians with previous experience in direct laryngoscopy required an average of 12 tracheal intubation attempts with hyperangulated videolaryngoscopy to achieve an acceptable first-attempt tracheal intubation success rate. @julian_roessler @OutcomesRC @KRuetzler buff.ly/3CVoXIZ

In this new 189 patient randomized trial by @OutcomesRC, addition of liposomal bupivacaine to plain bupivacaine for serratus anterior plane blocks did not improve overall analgesia benefit after minimally invasive thoracic surgery. #RegionalAnesthesia 🔗doi.org/10.1016/j.jcli…

This is one of the most important documents in perioperative medicine. We are proud of @KRuetzler -one of our core team members- and one of the amazing authors of this AHA/ACC/ACS/ ASNC/HRS/SCMR/SVM guideline. @AHAScience

Another practice changing trial just published @JAMA_current ! It was inspiring to be a member of this amazing, and thoughtful group of colleagues. Congratulations to all authors. x.com/JAMA_current/s…

Another milestone @OutcomesRC: after 17 years @ClevelandClinic, our founder and chair Dr. Daniel I. Sessler is retiring from CCF today and will join the University of Texas, Houston. He will join Dr. Alparslan Turan and expand clinical research across the institution. 🎉🥳🎈

Dr. Turan will lead a multidisciplinary team to further advance clinical research and make a difference for surgical patients. This is a huge accomplishment, and we are proud of you. Congratulations Alparslan!

We are expanding: Today marks an important day for the Outcomes Research Consortium. Dr. Alparslan Turan, the previous Vice-Chair of the Department of Outcomes Research at @ClevelandClinic joins the @UTHealthHouston .

Intense “Trials on trial” at the Clinical Trials in Anaesthesia Meeting in Prato!! @KRuetzler’s trial “Video Laryngoscopy vs Direct Laryngoscopy for Endotracheal Intubation in the Operating Room: A Cluster RCT” Vigorous discussion by Lachlan Miles & Kariem El-Boghdadly

@KRuetzler on a mission at #EA24 to make #videolaryngoscopy the new gold standard and presenting his landmark intubation trial in @JAMA_current. @OutcomesRC session at @ESAIC_org

Study results suggest that video laryngoscopy may be a preferable approach for intubating patients undergoing surgical procedures. ja.ma/3VnHpkP

🤖🩺 Automating Anesthesia: Closed-Loop Systems Enhance Care: Better than manual control for stabilizing variables & reducing workload? by @SeanCoeck et al. from @UnivParisSaclay 🇫🇷 and @OutcomesRC 🇺🇸 link.springer.com/article/10.100… see our interview at: youtube.com/watch?v=zuj3B6…

A large trial with 3,000 patients tested the hypothesis that colchicine reduces the incidence of atrial fibrillation after noncardiac thoracic surgery. There was no significant effect on atrial fibrillation: 6.4% v. 7.5%, HR 0.85 (95% CI: 0.65, 1.1). thelancet.com/journals/lance…

We’ve reached an important milestone. The Consortium has now published more than 2,000 full papers. To put 2,000 papers in perspective, it is comparable to every article in every issue of a journal like Anesthesiology for more than 15 years. Congratulations 💪

Please join us on December 7, 2023 at 7pm EST for the ⁦@OhioAcp⁩ Webinar on "MINS- Myocardial Injury in Non-cardiac Surgery" with the world expert, Dr. ⁦@KRuetzler⁩ from ⁦@ClevelandClinic⁩ and chair of ⁦@AHAScience⁩ MINS guideline. ⁦@ACPIMPhysicians⁩

Vital sign abnormalities are common and often missed by routine intermittent assessments. Now we need trials explicitly comparing postoperative complications with continuous vs intermittent monitoring. --> wait for upcoming research from OutcomesRC 💪 cjgim.ca/index.php/csim…

An analysis of 8563 postoperative inpatients indicates, that patients only mobilize for about 4 minutes/h. Doubling mobilization time was associated with 25% fewer composite serious complications and shorter hospitalization. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…

An analysis of > 14,000 patients reports distinct abnormalities in all vital signs in postsurgical patients on wards. As in previous reports, about half the abnormalities would have been missed with assessment of vital signs at 4-hour intervals. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A major trial in which 2,900 patients having prolonged general surgery were randomized to intubation or a laryngeal mask airway --> There were significantly fewer minor complications with laryngeal mask airways. …-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/an…
