Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a global threat, leading to increased mortality and necessitating urgent action-however, its impact on athletes and the world of sports has hitherto been neglected. Sports environments (including athletic and aquatic) exhibit high levels of microbial contamination, potentially contributing to the spread of resistant microorganisms during physical activities. Moreover, the literature suggests that travel for sports events may lead to changes in athletes' gut microbiomes and potentially impact their antibiotic resistance profiles, raising questions about the broader implications for individual and public/global health. The prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) among athletes (particularly those engaged in contact or collision sports) ranges between 22.4% and 68.6%, with MRSA strains being isolated in up to 34.9% of tested individuals. Factors such as training frequency, equipment sharing, delayed post-training showers, and a history of certain medical conditions are linked to higher colonization rates. Moreover, MRSA outbreaks have been documented in sports teams previously, highlighting the importance of implementing preventive measures and hygiene protocols in athletic settings. In light of the growing threat of AMR, there is a critical need for evidence-based treatment guidelines tailored to athletes' unique physiological demands to ensure responsible antibiotic use and mitigate potential health risks. While various initiatives-such as incorporating AMR awareness into major sporting events-aim to leverage the broad audience of sports to communicate the importance of addressing AMR, proactive measures (including improved AMR surveillance during large sporting events) will be indispensable for enhancing preparedness and safeguarding both athletes' and the general public's health. This narrative review thoroughly assesses the existing literature on AMR and antibiotic usage in the context of sports, aiming to illuminate areas where information may be lacking and underscoring the significance of promoting global awareness about AMR through sports.

Abstract
Objective Dural puncture epidural technique is refinement of standard epidural technique. Its goal is to overcome drawbacks of standard epidural. We assessed whether dural puncture epidural technique performed by 27-gauge spinal needle would provide higher quality of labour epidural analgesia by using 10 mL epidural bolus of 0.125% bupivacaine. Additionally, the impact of dural puncture epidural on epidural analgesia onset, course of labour and occurrence of maternal side effects was examined. Methods We designed prospective, randomized, single-blind study. A total of 76 healthy nulliparous parturients were randomly allocated to dural puncture or standard epidural group. After identification of epidural space, spinal Whitacre needle was used for dural puncture. Intrathecal drug administration was omitted at that point. Both groups received a bolus of local anaesthetic mixture, followed by a continuous infusion of diluted local anaesthetic via epidural catheter. Pain was assessed by numeric pain rating scale. The number of top-ups and mode of delivery were recorded in both groups. Results After 10 minutes, there was a statistically significant difference in numeric pain rating scale ≤3 reported (P=0.028), with 97.4% subjects in dural puncture epidural group achieving adequate analgesia after 10 minutes. There was no statistically significant difference in the number of additional boluses, time to delivery, Bromage scale achieved or maternal outcomes between groups. Conclusion Dural puncture epidural technique appears to be effective in providing faster onset of epidural analgesia. However, the need for additional boluses remains unchanged. It can be safely used in obstetrics, without deleterious effect on the course of labour.

Abstract
D-blade is a relatively new device in the field of videolaryngoscopy, designed for
airway management by enabling indirectoscopic glottic view. In our study, we investigated efficiency
of D-blade in comparison with direct Macintosh laryngoscope (gold standard). Fifty-two adult
patients with normal airway scheduled for elective surgery in general anesthesia were randomly assigned
in D-blade video or direct Macintosh group. In the first video group, patients were laryngo-scoped
and intubated by D-blade, and in the second group laryngoscopy and intubation were performed
by Macintosh laryngoscope. Glottic view was evaluated according to Cormack Lehane grading
system (C-L), while duration of intubation and easiness of intubation were evaluated according to
the intubation difficulty score (IDS). Additionally, hemodynamic parameters were recorded before
and after induction. There were no statistically significant between-group differences in time to intubation,
easiness of endotracheal tube insertion, C-L, and IDS. In comparison with direct Macintosh
laryngoscope, D-blade showed similar but still favorable characteristics. In our opinion, D-blade is a
useful device in airway management and should be used in daily anesthesiologist work.

Abstract
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common infection among intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of tracheotomy on VAP clinical course. The study was conducted in a 15-bed Surgical and Neurosurgical ICU, Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Sestre milosrdnice University Hospital Center in Zagreb, Croatia. All patients developing VAP during ICU stay were eligible for the study. In VAP patients not tracheotomized during ICU stay, the mortality rate was approximately two times higher as compared with patients tracheotomized either before or after VAP onset (crude risk ratio 1.83, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.15-2.91, p = 0.01; crude odds ratio 3.47, 95% CI 1.52-7.94; p = 0.003). In the surviving VAP patients, the duration of mechanical ventilation before VAP onset was higher in the "T before VAP" group as compared with the "no T before VAP" group (8, 6-10 vs. 3, 2-5; p < 0.001), but the number of post-VAP days on mechanical ventilation was shorter in "T before VAP" patients than in "no T before VAP" patients (0, 0-1 vs. 4, 3-9; p < 0.001). The duration of mechanical ventilation after VAP onset in the "T after VAP" group was longer as compared with the "T before VAP" group (4, 3-12 vs. 0, 0-1; p < 0.001). The present study indicated tracheotomy to be associated with a reduced duration of mechanical ventilation after VAP onset, but only if patients were tracheotomized at the moment of VAP onset.
