- Frailty patterns in European surgical patients: The FRAGILE multicentre prospective cohort. [Journal Article]Eur J Anaesthesiol. 2026 Oct 22. [Online ahead of print]EJ
- CONCLUSIONS: Frailty is common among surgical patients, increases after surgery, and independently predicts postoperative complications and mortality. These findings highlight frailty as a dynamic and potentially modifiable marker of surgical vulnerability that should be routinely assessed and integrated into perioperative care.

- Antibiotic prophylaxis with vancomycin and gentamicin and the occurrence of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass: A retrospective single-centre cohort study. [Journal Article]Eur J Anaesthesiol. 2026 Oct 20. [Online ahead of print]EJ
- CONCLUSIONS: In this large retrospective cohort, VGA antibiotic prophylaxis was independently associated with increased AKI risk following cardiac surgery with CPB. This association was driven primarily by patients with preoperative risk factors for AKI. Alternative prophylactic regimens should be considered in high-risk patients when possible.

- Postoperative delirium and 1-year functional decline, institutionalization and mortality. [Journal Article]Eur J Anaesthesiol. 2026 Oct 20. [Online ahead of print]EJ
- CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative delirium is independently associated with long-term functional decline, loss of independence, institutionalisation and increased 1-year mortality. These findings highlight delirium as a key perioperative complication and support prevention strategies and structured long-term follow-up after surgery.

- Development and temporal validation of a simple CT-based body surface landmark approach for optimising central venous catheter tip position in the superior vena cava. [Journal Article]Eur J Anaesthesiol. 2026 Oct 20. [Online ahead of print]EJ
- CONCLUSIONS: A CT-based body surface landmark approach was associated with improved consistency of appropriate CVC tip placement and enables patient-specific estimation of insertion depth.

- Twelve tips for implementing patient-centred precision care in anaesthesia. [Journal Article]Eur J Anaesthesiol. 2026 Oct 08. [Online ahead of print]EJ
- Patient-centred precision care [(PC)2] is a new paradigm in anaesthesia that applies individualised care principles to tailor perioperative care to individual patient characteristics, preferences, and values. This individualised strategy aims to optimise anaesthetic effectiveness, minimise side effects, and align care with what matters most to patients - whether survival, cognitive preservation, …

- Age-related variation in oxygen transport but stable mixed venous oxygen saturation in anaesthetised children. [Journal Article]Eur J Anaesthesiol. 2026 Oct 08. [Online ahead of print]EJ
- CONCLUSIONS: Absolute and indexed CO and DO2 variables demonstrated age-dependent variation in anaesthetised children, whereas SvO2 remained relatively stable across developmental stages. This stability suggests that SvO2 may represent a physiologically robust and age-independent indicator of adequate systemic DO2 during paediatric anaesthesia.
