Case Series in the Utility of Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring in Microvascular Decompression

Risheng Xu et al.

Summary: The utility of arterial lines in microvascular decompression (MVD) compared to noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitoring was examined in this study. The frequency of arterial line placement decreased over time, while patients with NIBP monitoring showed no significant differences in complications. However, arterial lines increased preincision time and medication costs. NIBP monitoring was found to be a cost-effective alternative in MVDs for patients without significant cardiopulmonary risk factors.

Association between surgeon case volume and years of practice experience with open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair outcomes

Salvatore T. Scali et al.

Summary: The study suggests that the annual case volume of surgeons is more significantly associated with the outcomes of OAR compared to years of practice experience. Experienced surgeons have fewer complications after elective OAR, but practice experience is not associated with mortality rates. Early career surgeons perform more elective surgeries, but have longer procedure times and higher risks of complications.

Predicting High-Value Care Outcomes After Surgery for Skull Base Meningiomas

Adrian E. Jimenez et al.

Summary: The study aimed to develop predictive algorithms for adverse health care outcomes after surgical resection of skull base meningiomas. Results showed the potential of these models to assist clinicians in providing individualized risk estimation for patients undergoing meningioma surgery.

Surgery for spinal deformity: non-elective admission status is associated with higher cost of care and longer length of stay

William H. Shuman et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of admission status on patient outcomes and healthcare costs in spinal deformity surgery. Patients admitted from the emergency department had significantly higher cost of care and longer length of stay compared to elective patients. Transferred patients had significantly longer length of stay and a higher rate of non-home discharge compared to elective patients.
