RESUMO
The relation between surgery and anesthesia safety in children and a country's Human Development Index (HDI) value has been described previously. The aim of this narrative review was to provide an update on the mechanisms and risk factors of Anesthesia-Related Cardiac Arrest (ARCA) in pediatric surgical patients in countries with different HDI values and over time (pre-2001 vs. 2001â2024). Electronic databases were searched up to March 2024 for studies reporting ARCA events in children. HDI values range from 0 to 1 (very-high-HDI countries: ≥ 0.800, high-HDI countries: 0.700â0.799, medium-HDI countries: 0.550â0.699, and low-HDI countries: < 0.550). Independent of time, the proportion of children who suffered perioperative Cardiac Arrest (CA) attributed to anesthesia-related causes was higher in very-high-HDI countries (50%) than in countries with HDI values less than 0.8 (15â36%), but ARCA rates were higher in countries with HDI values less than 0.8 than in very-high-HDI countries. Regardless of the HDI value, medication-related factors were the most common mechanism causing ARCA before 2001, while cardiovascular-related factors, mainly hypovolemia, and respiratory-related factors, including difficulty maintaining patent airways and adequate ventilation, were the major mechanisms in the present century. Independent of HDI value and time, a higher number of ARCA events occurred in children with heart disease and/or a history of cardiac surgery, those aged younger than one year, those with ASA physical status IIIâV, and those who underwent emergency surgery. Many ARCA events were determined to be preventable. The implementation of specialized pediatric anesthesiology and training programs is crucial for anesthesia safety in children.

BACKGROUND: Neonates and infants have a higher perioperative risk of cardiac arrest and mortality than adults. The Human Development Index (HDI) ranges from 0 to 1, representing the lowest and highest levels of development, respectively. The relation between anaesthesia safety and country HDI has been described previously. We examined the relationship among the anaesthesia-related cardiac arrest rate (ARCAR), country HDI, and time in a mixed paediatric patient population. METHODS: Electronic databases were searched up to July 2022 for studies reporting 24-h postoperative ARCARs in children. ARCARs (per 10,000 anaesthetic procedures) were analysed in low-HDI (HDI<0.8) vs high-HDI countries (HDI≥0.8) and over time (pre-2001 vs 2001-22). The magnitude of these associations was studied using systematic review methods with meta-regression analysis and meta-analysis. RESULTS: We included 38 studies with 5,493,489 anaesthetic procedures and 1001 anaesthesia-related cardiac arrests. ARCARs were inversely correlated with country HDI (P<0.0001) but were not correlated with time (P=0.82). ARCARs did not change between the periods in either high-HDI or low-HDI countries (P=0.71 and P=0.62, respectively), but were higher in low-HDI countries than in high-HDI countries (9.6 vs 2.0; P<0.0001) in 2001-22. ARCARs were higher in children aged <1 yr than in those ≥1 yr in high-HDI (10.69 vs 1.48; odds ratio [OR] 8.03, 95% confidence interval [CI] 5.96-10.81; P<0.0001) and low-HDI countries (36.02 vs 2.86; OR 7.32, 95% CI 3.48-15.39; P<0.0001) in 2001-22. CONCLUSIONS: The high and alarming anaesthesia-related cardiac arrest rates among children younger than 1 yr of age in high-HDI and low-HDI countries, respectively, reflect an ongoing challenge for anaesthesiologists. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW PROTOCOL: PROSPERO CRD42021229919.

Abstract Background Compound A is generated by sevoflurane when it reacts with carbon dioxide absorbers with strong bases at minimal fresh gas flow (FGF) and is nephrotoxic in animals. No conclusive data has shown increased risk in humans. The aim of this study was to investigate if minimal FGF promotes an increase in the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) when compared to high FGF in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery under sevoflurane anesthesia. Methods Two hundred and four adult patients scheduled for on-pump cardiac surgery under sevoflurane anesthesia were randomly allocated to two groups differentiated by FGF: minimal FGF (0.5 L.min−1) or high FGF (2.0 L.min−1). Baseline creatinine measured before surgery was compared daily to values assayed on the first five postoperative days, and 24-hour urinary output was monitored, according to the KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes) guideline to define postoperative cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). Creatinine measurements were also obtained 20 and 120 days after hospital discharge. Results Postoperative AKI occurred in 55 patients, 26 patients (29.5%) in the minimal FGF group and 29 patients (31.5%) in the high FGF group (p= 0.774). Twenty days after discharge, 11 patients (6.1%) still had CSA-AKI and 120 days after discharge only 2 patients (1.6%) still had CSA-AKI. Conclusions When compared to high FGF, minimal FGF sevoflurane anesthesia during on-pump cardiac surgery is not associated with increased risk of postoperative AKI in this population at high risk for renal injury.

This is a comment on a study recently published about peritumoral infiltration of local anesthetic before surgery in early breast cancer. Previously, animal models and a randomized study for stage IV breast cancer patients inferred that the removal of the primary tumor resulted in increased growth factors and worse distant disease control. Therefore, breast cancer surgery might not be a strictly local intervention. In this new randomized study, the intervention was a peritumoral infiltration of local anesthetic lidocaine 0.5% in the six tumor margins, as an attempt to limit the systemic repercussions of surgery. Although the adjuvant treatment available for the study seems outdated, leading us to question the external validation, limited resources may have increased the power of surgery. Unknown mechanisms during surgery can change the patient's journey, and it is our duty to look at surgical studies with due seriousness
