Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Regional analgesia is effective for post-thoracotomy pain. The primary objective of the study is to compare the intraoperative requirement of isoflurane and fentanyl between general anaesthesia (GA) with epidural analgesia and GA with paravertebral analgesia. METHODS AND MATERIAL A prospective observational comparative study was conducted on 56 patients undergoing open thoracotomy procedures. The patients were divided into two groups of 28 by assigning the study participants alternatively to each group: Group GAE - received thoracic epidural catheterization with GA, and Group GAP - received ultrasound guided thoracic paravertebral catheterization on the operative side with GA. Intraoperative requirement of isoflurane, fentanyl, postoperative analgesia, stress response, need of rescue analgesics and adverse effects were observed and analysed. RESULTS 25 patients in each group were included in the data analysis. The intraoperative requirement of isoflurane (32.28 ± 1.88 vs 48.31 ± 4.34 ml; p < 0.0001) and fentanyl (128.87 ± 25.12 vs 157 ± 30.92 μg; p = 0.0009) were significantly less in the GAE group than in the GAP group. VAS scores and need of rescue analgesics and blood glucose levels were not statistically significant during the postoperative period (p > 0.05). The incidence of adverse effects was comparable except for hypotension and urinary retention which were significantly higher in the GAE group. CONCLUSION GA with epidural analgesia resulted in significant reduction in the intraoperative consumption of isoflurane and fentanyl in comparison to GA with paravertebral analgesia. However, both the techniques were equally effective in the postoperative period.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Aortic valve (AV) repair is the desired surgical treatment option for young patients with aortic regurgitation (AR). It is considered as a class I indication for the surgical treatment of severeAR. The success of an AV repair depends on the detailed intraoperative transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) examination which should fulfil the information required by the surgeon. The objective of this echo round is to describe the role of intraoperative TEE in systematic evaluation of the AV, before and after repair.

Abstract
Salinomycin (Sal) is a potent veterinary antibiotic known to offer significant toxicity to the variety of neoplastic cells. Its therapeutic utility is limited due to its higher lipophilicity (logP 7.5) and poor hydrophilicity. Liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNPs) known to offer a suitable delivery platform for these kinds of drugs. The overexpressed nucleolin receptor on the cell surface and cytoplasm, could be selected as a target in cancer therapy. The present study involves the development and characterization of the F3 peptide functionalized LCNPs for delivering Sal (F3-Sal-NPs) for selectively targeting to the nucleolin receptor. The optimized LCNPs were characterized for particle size, zeta potential, surface morphology, drug release kinetics and stability. The LCNPs have a structure similar to nematic phases. In vitro drug release studies revealed sustained drug release characteristics (89.5 ± 1.5% at 120 h) with F3-Sal-NPs. The cytotoxicity results demonstrated that F3-Sal-NPs were 4.8, 2.6 and 5.5 folds more effective than naïve drug in MDA-MB-468, MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells, respectively and the cell cycle was arrested in the S and G2/M phases. The expression of the gene responsible for the stemness (CD44 gene), apoptosis (BAX/Bcl-2 ration) and angiogenesis (LCN-2) was reduced by F3-Sal-NPs treatment. Ex vivo hemolytic toxicity was reduced (6.5 ± 1.5%) and the pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of Sal was improved with F3-Sal-NPs. The in vivo antitumor efficacy was tested in EAC bearing mice, where F3-Sal-NPs significantly reduced the tumor growth by 2.8-fold compared to pure Sal and induced necrosis of tumor cells. The results clearly demonstrate the outstanding performance of F3 peptide functionalized LCNPs for delivering Sal against breast cancer.

Abstract
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), although a worldwide prevalent cardiac disease, it imposes a greater task in the patient management. The association of coronary artery disease with HOCM poses an immense perioperative challenge and it demands an expert transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) examination for guiding the surgery and detailed assessment after surgical correction. We report a case of HOCM with coronary artery disease where the post-cardiopulmonary bypass three-dimensional TEE played a crucial role in exact identification of the mechanism of fixed left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, when the two-dimensional TEE failed to provide adequate information.

Abstract
Leiomyosarcoma of retro-hepatic portion of inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare vascular tumor with poor prognosis if adequate surgical resection is not achieved. Surgical repair includes dissection of the tumor and reconstruction of the IVC with a tube graft. Establishing a normal flow and gradient in IVC and hepatic veins is imperative for a successful repair. We report a case of retro hepatic IVC leiomyosarcoma where the preoperative computed tomography described the anatomy and extension of the tumor whereas intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography helped in the assessment of adequacy of surgical repair.

Abstract
Sepsis remains among the most common causes of mortality in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Extensive literature is available regarding managing sepsis in pediatric patients without CHD. Because the cardiovascular pathophysiology of children with CHD differs entirely from their typical peers, the available diagnosis and management recommendations for sepsis cannot be implemented directly in children with CHD. This review discusses the risk factors, etiopathogenesis, available diagnostic tools, resuscitation protocols, and anesthetic management of pediatric patients suffering from various congenital cardiac lesions. Further research should focus on establishing a standard guideline for managing children with CHD with sepsis and septic shock admitted to the intensive care unit.

Abstract
Approximately 3 billion people were unable to afford a healthy diet in 2019 because of poverty and inequality. Most of these people live in Asia and Africa. Furthermore, 30% of the world population was affected by moderate to severe food insecurity in 2020, and most of this population lives in low- and middle-income countries. The world is at a critical juncture, and there is an urgent need for transformative food systems that ensure the empowerment of poor and vulnerable population groups, often smallholders with limited access to resources or those living in remote locations, as well as the empowerment of women, children, and youth (FAO, 2018). The backyard poultry production system (BPPS), as practiced by 80% of the world's rural population, can be that transformative change in low- and middle-income countries. Although the BPPS has low productivity, it still plays an important role in the food and nutritional security of rural people living in fragile ecosystems. Backyard poultry has been recognized as a tool for poverty alleviation and women empowerment besides ensuring food and nutritional security for rural poor. Poultry meat and eggs are the cheapest and best source of good quality protein, minerals, and vitamins. The introduction of improved backyard poultry germplasm has improved the productivity of this system in resource-poor settings and thereby improved the income and nutritional security of poor households. With these birds, the availability, access, utilization, and stability of food security have improved at household and national levels. Diseases, predation, non-availability of improved germplasm, lack of access to markets, and lack of skills are the major constraints to the adoption of improved backyard poultry. These constraints can be addressed by involving a network of community animal service providers. The improved backyard poultry germplasm will dominate the backyard poultry production system in the future and will be a tool for ensuring food and nutritional security on a sustainable basis, more particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

Abstract
Epithelial cells of human breast glands are exposed to various mechanical ECM stresses that regulate tissue development and homeostasis. Mechanoadaptation of breast gland tissue to ECM-transmitted shear stress remained poorly investigated due to the lack of valid experimental approaches. Therefore, we created a magnetic shear strain device that enabled, for the first time, to analyze the instant shear strain response of human breast gland cells. MCF10A-derived breast acini with basement membranes (BM) of defined maturation state and basoapical polarization were used to resemble breast gland morphogenesis in vitro. The novel biophysical tool was used to apply cyclic shear strain with defined amplitudes (≤15%, 0.2 Hz) over 22 h on living spheroids embedded in an ultrasoft matrix (<60 Pa). We demonstrated that breast spheroids gain resistance to shear strain, which increased with BM maturation and basoapical polarization. Most intriguingly, poorly developed spheroids were prone to cyclic strain-induced extrusion of apoptotic cells from the spheroid body. In contrast, matured spheroids were insensitive to this mechanoresponse—indicating changing mechanosensing or mechanotransduction mechanisms during breast tissue morphogenesis. Together, we introduced a versatile tool to study cyclic shear stress responses of 3D cell culture models. It can be used to strain, in principle, all kinds of cell clusters, even those that grow only in ultrasoft hydrogels. We believe that this approach opens new doors to gain new insights into dynamic shear strain-induced mechanobiological regulation circuits between cells and their ECM.

Abstract
Wind turbines have been recognised as an alternative and clean-energy source with a low environmental impact. The selection of sites for wind-farm often creates serious conservation concerns on biodiversity. Wind turbines have become a serious threat to migratory birds as they collide with the turbine blades in some regions across the globe, while the impact on terrestrial mammals is relatively less explored. In this context, we assessed the responses of birds and mammals to the wind turbines in central Karnataka, India from January 2016 to May 2018 using carcass searches to quantify animal collisions (i.e., birds and bats), fixed radius point count for bird population parameters, and an occupancy framework for assessing the factor that determines the spatial occurrence of terrestrial mammals. The mean annual animal fatality rate per wind turbine was 0.26/year. Species richness, abundance, and unique species of birds were relatively higher in control sites over wind turbine sites. Species and functional compositions of birds in control sites were different from wind turbine sites, explaining the varied patterns of bird assemblages of different feeding guilds. Blackbuck, Chinkara, Golden Jackal, and Jungle Cat were less likely to occupy sites with a high number of wind turbines. The study indicates that certain bird and mammal species avoided wind turbine-dominated sites, affecting their distribution pattern. This is of concern to the management of the forested areas with wind turbines. We raised conservation issues and mitigating measures to overcome the negative effects of wind turbines on animals.

Abstract
Background: Assessment of myocardial deformation by quantifying peak systolic longitudinal strain (PSLS) is a sensitive and robust index to detect subclinical myocardial dysfunction. We hypothesize that sevoflurane by virtue of anesthetic preconditioning preserves myocardial function better than propofol. Aims: The authors have assessed the effects of sevoflurane and propofol on global longitudinal strain (GLS) as a primary outcome in patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Our secondary aim was to assess the pattern of regional distribution of segmental PSLS between the groups. Materials and Methods: Fifty patients with normal left ventricular function undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting were analyzed in this prospective observational study. Consecutive patients received either propofol (P) or sevoflurane (S) anesthesia. Measurements: Trans-esophageal echocardiographic images (mid-esophageal four-chamber, two-chamber, and three-chamber (long-axis)) were recorded during the precardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and post-CPB period. Strain analysis (GLS/segmental PSLS) was done offline by investigators blinded to the study. The inotropic score, duration of inotropic support, and mechanical ventilation required were recorded. Results: Following cardiopulmonary bypass and coronary revascularization, GLS reduced significantly in both the groups (P < 0.05). In the S-group, significant reduction in segmental strain was observed only in apical segments including apex, whereas in P-group significant reduction in segmental strain was seen in mid- and apical segments. The postoperative VIS, duration of inotropes/vasopressor required, and mechanical ventilation were similar in both the groups. Conclusions: There are no significant differences in global left ventricular function as assessed by GLS between patients anesthetized with sevoflurane or propofol. However, regional PSLS was better preserved in the S-group compared to P-group.

Abstract
The most recent version of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Clinical Practice Guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity, larynx, oropharynx and hypopharynx was published in 2020. It was therefore decided by both the ESMO and the Korean Society of Medical Oncology (KSMO) to convene a special, virtual guidelines meeting in July 2021 to adapt the ESMO 2020 guidelines to consider the potential ethnic differences associated with the treatment of SCCs of the head and neck (SCCHN) in Asian patients. These guidelines represent the consensus opinions reached by experts in the treatment of patients with SCCHN (excluding nasopharyngeal carcinomas) representing the oncological societies of Korea (KSMO), China (CSCO), India (ISMPO), Japan (JSMO), Malaysia (MOS), Singapore (SSO) and Taiwan (TOS). The voting was based on scientific evidence and was independent of the current treatment practices and drug access restrictions in the different Asian countries. The latter was discussed when appropriate. This manuscript provides a series of expert recommendations (Clinical Practice Guidelines) which can be used to provide guidance to health care providers and clinicians for the optimisation of the diagnosis, treatment and management of patients with SCC of the oral cavity, larynx, oropharynx and hypopharynx across Asia.

Abstract
Background: The quality of needle visualization during ultrasound-guided internal jugular vein (IJV) cannulation determines the ease of procedure, whereas posterior IJV wall puncture is the most common risk associated. The IJV can be imaged in different views, which offer certain advantages over each other. We compared three different ultrasound views for IJV cannulation short axis (SAX), long axis (LAX), and oblique axis (OAX) with respect to the quality of needle visualization, first pass success rate, and posterior IJV wall puncture. Methods: Two hundred ten patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery were analyzed in this prospective randomized clinical trial. Patients were randomly assigned to one of the three groups: SAX (n = 70), LAX (n = 70), and OAX (n = 70). The quality of needle visualization, first pass success rate, and incidence of posterior IJV wall puncture in each of the three ultrasound views were studied. The Chi-square test and ANOVA were used for the comparison of means and proportion between the groups. Results: The quality of needle visualization was graded as good in 90% patients in OAX group, 81.4% patients in LAX group, and 14.2% patients in SAX group, respectively (P < 0.0001). OAX group had the highest first pass success rate (94.2%) followed by SAX (88.5%), and then, LAX (82.8%), but it was statistically insignificant among the groups (P = 0.105). The mean IJV access time was longer in LAX group when compared to OAX and SAX group (P < 0.0001).The incidence of IJV posterior wall puncture was 14.2% patients in SAX group and none in other groups (P = 0.0011). Conclusion: The results suggest that OAX view can be adopted as standard approach during ultrasound-guided IJV cannulation as it safe and reliable.

Abstract
Ophthalmic infections can cause damage to the structure of the eye which can lead to vision loss and blindness if left untreated. Ophthalmic infection or eye infections are caused by exposure to bacterial, fungal viral and protozoan are common with frequently reported in Asian countries. In the present study, the external ocular infected samples collected from Thanjavur Medical College Hospital, Thanjavur. Seven strains were isolated from the external ocular infected samples and identified a standard manual of Determinative Bacteriology by Bergy’s manual 12th edition. The commercial antibiotics and eye drops tested against Bacillus cereus, B. subtilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp. Pseudomonas sp. Streptococcus sp. and Staphylococcus aureus. The majority of the isolates were sensitive to tobramycin followed by moxifloxacin, gatifloxacin and ofloxacin. The resistant antibiotics are ciprofloxin and sensitive antibiotic was ampicillin was recorded with respective bacteria.

Abstract
La2NiMnO6-a ferromagnetic (FM) insulator offers tunable charge carriers and spins useful to devise its multiple properties and applications. In this view, we studied a core-shell La2NiMnO6(2-3 nm shell on 65 - 80 nm core) of a Ni2+/Ni3+(d7) to Mn4+/Mn3+(d4) spin-up conversion- revived a new FM phase-2, raising a spin-densityσs = 0.7 s a-1over the Ni2+/Mn4+species (phase-1),σs = 0.5 s a-1, i.e. 2.12μB/f.u. larger spin moment. HRTEM images studied with x-ray diffraction characterizing core-shell structure that plays a crucial role in tuning the high spin FM phase-2 of profound properties. Below 110 K, the dc magnetization and ac magnetic susceptibilityχ(ω,T) reveal a metastable magnetic behavior on an antiferromagnetic canting of a spin-glass nature. The results follow a Vogel-Fulcher type relaxation with a relaxation timeτ0∼ 10-13s, confirming a spin-glass freezing behavior. Uniquely, FM field of phase-1 controls magnetics of phase 2 of a coupled magnet, modulating joint features with small thermal magnetic hysteresis on heating-cooling cycles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The primary objective of this study was to establish "normal" right atrial (RA)-indexed end-systolic volumes (ESVs) and emptying fraction (EF) in children undergoing ventricular septal defect (VSD) repair using two-dimensional (2D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Secondary objectives were to obtain RA-indexed ESV and EF in children with RA/right ventricular (RV) volume overload (atrial septal defect [ASD]) and RV pressure overload (tetralogy of Fallot [TOF]) and to determine whether baseline differences existed in these indices among the three lesions. DESIGN A prospective observational study. SETTING Tertiary referral center and a university level teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS The study comprised 90 children (30 in each cohort) >3 kg and <14 years old admitted for elective repair of either VSD, TOF, or ASD. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS RA ESV and EF were measured in the midesophageal four-chamber view using the area-length and the modified Simpson's methods with 2D TEE in the prebypass period. Mean RA- indexed ESV (area-length method) in the VSD cohort was 24.2 ± 6.7 mL/m2, whereas it was significantly greater in the TOF (31.9 ± 9.8 mL/m2; p = 0.0008) and ASD (52 ± 12.9 mL/m2; p < 0.0001) cohorts. RA EF in the TOF cohort was 48.4% ± 7.6%, which was significantly more than in the VSD (41.5% ± 11.8%; p = 0.0093) and ASD (39.1% ± 12.3%; p = 0.0008) cohorts. CONCLUSIONS This was the first study using 2D TEE to measure RA indices in children with and without right-sided heart dilation undergoing cardiac surgery. In this study, RA, ESV, and EF were considerably different in children with congenital heart disease causing RV pressure or volume overload. Additional studies can examine how these values can be used for risk stratification in this cohort of patients or how they correlate with measures of ventricular performances.

Abstract
Pulmonary atresia (PA) with ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly in which the pulmonary blood flow is supplied by major aorta pulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs). The complete repair includes unifocalization of MAPCAs, closure of VSD, and placement of a right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery conduit. We report a case of VSD with PA, where the computed tomography and echocardiography images described a large single collateral artery arising from descending thoracic aorta dividing into left and right branches and supplying the entire pulmonary circulation.

Abstract
Positioning of central venous catheter (CVC) tip in the intrathoracic portion of superior vena cava (SVC) is essential during the surgical repair of superior sinus venous atrial septal defects (SVASD). Although tracheal carina is described as a radiological landmark for positioning the tip of CVCs, it may not be successful at all times. We describe a case of SVC type SVASD, where the SVC-right pulmonary artery crossing point imaged on transesophageal echocardiography was used as an echocardiographic landmark for optimal positioning of the CVC tip.

Abstract
Extracardiac intrapericardial masses arising posterior to left atrium (LA) often mimic an intracardiac LA mass on echocardiography. Although transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the primary screening tool to detect any cardiac mass, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is proven superior to TTE in delineating the size, morphology, and exact site of origin of LA masses. We report a case, where the preoperative TTE diagnosed an LA mass which was later confirmed to be an extracardiac intrapericardial mass by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and intraoperative TEE. The mass was compressing the LA, and the timely diagnosis avoided the opening of the LA for mass excision.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transthoracic intracardiac catheters inserted under direct vision in the pulmonary artery and left atrium during cardiac surgery play major roles in the management of patients with complex congenital heart disease. We aimed to analyze the utility of transthoracic intracardiac catheters in the perioperative management of pediatric cardiac surgery patients and review catheter-related morbidity. METHODS The computerized register of all pediatric cardiac surgery patients in whom transthoracic intracardiac catheters were inserted from 2012 to 2019 in a tertiary referral center were reviewed. RESULTS Transthoracic pulmonary artery and left atrial catheters were inserted in 89 and 71 patients, respectively. The most common indications for pulmonary artery and left atrial catheters were total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (52%) and total cavopulmonary connection (58%) respectively. The most common reason for elevated pulmonary artery and left atrial pressure after cardiopulmonary bypass was left ventricular dysfunction. Transthoracic pulmonary artery catheters helped in diagnosing pulmonary hypertensive crisis (29%), surgical decision-making (14%), and ventilator therapy (16%). Left atrial catheters helped in the diagnosis of left ventricular dysfunction (54%). The incidence of morbidity was 8.9% for transthoracic pulmonary artery catheters and 9.8% for left atrial catheters. CONCLUSION Transthoracic pulmonary artery catheters help in the diagnosis and management of pulmonary hypertensive crisis, for making perioperative surgical decisions, and during ventilator therapy. Transthoracic left atrial catheters help in the diagnosis of left ventricular dysfunction in the perioperative period. The diagnostic and treatment benefits provided by transthoracic intracardiac catheters outweigh the minor adverse events, supporting their continued use in the perioperative period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The primary objective of the present study was to compare cardiac output derived with four methods of QLab (Philips, Amsterdam, Netherlands) software using real-time three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography, with cardiac output obtained with the 3D left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) cardiac output method. The secondary objective was to assess left ventricular (LV) volumes, LV ejection fraction, and cardiac output derived with four different methods of real time 3D transesophageal echocardiography processed in QLab software and to determine whether these parameters differed among these four methods. DESIGN A prospective observational study. SETTING A tertiary referral center and a university level teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS The study comprised 50 patients scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass surgery without any concomitant valvular lesions. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Three-dimensional full-volume datasets were obtained in optimum conditions. The 3D datasets were analyzed using four different methods in QLab, version 9. In method A, LV volumes were derived without endocardial border adjustment. In method B, LV volumes were obtained after endocardial border adjustment in the long-axis view alone. In method C, the iSlice tool (Philips) was used to adjust the endocardial borders in 16 short-axis slices. In method D, endocardial borders were adjusted after dataset processing to obtain LV volumes. The cardiac output derived with the 3D echocardiography LVOT method was 3.93 ± 1.44 L/min, with method A was 3.26 ± 1.42 L/min, with method B was 3.51 ± 1.2 L/min, with method C was 4.01 ± 1.40 L/min, and with method D was 4.18 ± 1.58 L/min. There was a significant positive correlation between the cardiac output derived using the 3D LVOT method and method C (r = 0.71). CONCLUSIONS Readjusting the endocardial border contours resulted in higher LV volumes than the volumes estimated using semiautomated border algorithms. The iSlice method produced the highest and the most accurate LV volumes, although it required the longest time to analyze and derive results. The ejection fraction obtained with all four methods of QLab demonstrated no statistical differences and had a strong correlation with the two-dimensional echocardiography-derived left ventricular ejection fraction.

Abstract
We convened a multidisciplinary Working Party on behalf of the Association of Anaesthetists to update the 2011 guidance on the peri-operative management of people with hip fracture. Importantly, these guidelines describe the core aims and principles of peri-operative management, recommending greater standardisation of anaesthetic practice as a component of multidisciplinary care. Although much of the 2011 guidance remains applicable to contemporary practice, new evidence and consensus inform the additional recommendations made in this document. Specific changes to the 2011 guidance relate to analgesia, medicolegal practice, risk assessment, bone cement implantation syndrome and regional review networks. Areas of controversy remain, and we discuss these in further detail, relating to the mode of anaesthesia, surgical delay, blood management and transfusion thresholds, echocardiography, anticoagulant and antiplatelet management and postoperative discharge destination. Finally, these guidelines provide links to supplemental online material that can be used at readers' institutions, key references and UK national guidance about the peri-operative care of people with hip and periprosthetic fractures during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical performance in terms of procedure time, success rate, and cannulation attempts between ultrasound biplane view (BPX) and short-axis (SAX) view for internal jugular vein cannulation (IJV) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. DESIGN Prospective, observational pilot study. SETTING University level tertiary referral hospital. PATIENTS The study comprised 100 patients between ages 18 and 75 years undergoing elective cardiac surgery. INTERVENTIONS One hundred patients were divided into 2 groups of 50 (BPX group and SAX group) by assigning the study participants alternatively to each group. IJV cannulation was performed using a 3-dimensional ultrasound probe in all patients with either BPX view (BPX group, n = 50) or the SAX view (SAX group, n = 50) by an experienced anesthesiologist. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Time required for imaging, time for IJV puncture, time for guidewire confirmation, number of needle punctures and needle redirections, and incidence of posterior wall puncture were noted in both groups. In addition, the quality of needle visualization and the incidence of complications were recorded. The time taken for imaging was significantly greater in the BPX group than in the SAX group (9.52 ± 2.69 s v 7.94 ± 2.55 s; p = 0.0034), whereas the time taken for IJV puncture (10.39 ± 2.33 s v 23.7 ± 2.46 s; p < 0.0001), time taken for confirmation of guidewire (32.94 ± 4.50 s v 57.64 ± 7.14 s; p < 0.0001), and the incidence of posterior wall puncture (4% v 26%; p = 0.0022) were significantly less in the BPX group than in the SAX group. The total number of attempts taken to puncture the IJV was fewer in the BPX group than in the SAX group (55 v 78). Successful puncture of the IJV occurred on the first attempt in 90% of patients in the BPX group, whereas it was only 50% in the SAX group (p < 0.0001). The quality of needle visualization was good in 90% of patients in the BPX group, whereas it was only 6% in the SAX group. The number of needle redirections for IJV puncture was less in the BPX group than in the SAX group (48 v 116). The incidence of complications was not significant between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION The results suggested that the BPX view may be a safer, feasible and more reliable method than the SAX view for IJV cannulation in cardiac surgical patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We report the results of International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) surveillance study from January 2012 to December 2017 in 523 intensive care units (ICUs) in 45 countries from Latin America, Europe, Eastern Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and Western Pacific. METHODS During the 6-year study period, prospective data from 532,483 ICU patients hospitalized in 242 hospitals, for an aggregate of 2,197,304 patient days, were collected through the INICC Surveillance Online System (ISOS). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-National Healthcare Safety Network (CDC-NHSN) definitions for device-associated health care-associated infection (DA-HAI) were applied. RESULTS Although device use in INICC ICUs was similar to that reported from CDC-NHSN ICUs, DA-HAI rates were higher in the INICC ICUs: in the medical-surgical ICUs, the pooled central line-associated bloodstream infection rate was higher (5.05 vs 0.8 per 1,000 central line-days); the ventilator-associated pneumonia rate was also higher (14.1 vs 0.9 per 1,000 ventilator-days,), as well as the rate of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (5.1 vs 1.7 per 1,000 catheter-days). From blood cultures samples, frequencies of resistance, such as of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to piperacillin-tazobactam (33.0% vs 18.3%), were also higher. CONCLUSIONS Despite a significant trend toward the reduction in INICC ICUs, DA-HAI rates are still much higher compared with CDC-NHSN's ICUs representing the developed world. It is INICC's main goal to provide basic and cost-effective resources, through the INICC Surveillance Online System to tackle the burden of DA-HAIs effectively.
