Effect of preoperative cognitive and physical optimization in the prevention of postoperative cognitive deficit in elderly patients with lung resection – cognition trial Vojislava Neskovic, Marija Markovic, Nebojsa Maric, Smiljana Kostic Trials, 2026 BACKGROUND: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) can develop from 7 days to 1 year after surgery. It is a long-lasting disorder that affects various cognitive domains, including memory, executive function, attention, verbal fluency, and visuospatial performance. Mild symptoms are often overlooked or misinterpreted as signs of normal ageing. The impact of POCD on recovery and quality of life after surgery is not fully understood. This study aims to assess the effects of preoperative cognitive and physical training on postoperative cognitive outcomes and recovery in elderly patients undergoing lung resection. METHODS: Patients who meet the inclusion criteria, after signing the informed consent, are randomized into: (1) The Intervention group: patients receive preoperative cognitive stimulation and physical training from the inclusion until scheduled surgery. (2) The Control group: patients receive standard treatment. Patients from the Intervention group will be assessed for cognitive status and subjected to structured cognitive training at least three times a week for a minimum of 20 min (from the moment of study inclusion, until surgery, targeting 1 month). In addition, after testing for frailty, mobility, and physical reserve, in consultation with a physiotherapy specialist, these patients will be instructed and allocated to structured physical training (breathing exercises, walking, climbing stairs). Patients will keep a diary of preoperative activities that will be overviewed by researchers. The analysis will be performed for the effects of the training on the postoperative cognitive decline of the individual patient (self-control) as well as compared to the control group that will be tested for cognitive status, frailty, and functional reserve but will not be subjected to any intervention. DISCUSSION: Postoperative cognitive deficit represents a risk of prolonged postoperative recovery and reduced quality of life. It is assumed that early recognition and management of possible perioperative risk factors could prevent it. However, despite numerous studies, postoperative cognitive dysfunction remains poorly defined and insufficiently understood. Effective preventive strategies are not defined yet. The objective of this trial is to investigate if preoperative cognitive training and physical exercise may prevent postoperative cognitive decline and improve the quality of postoperative recovery.

It represents the views and structured opinions of experts delegated to the Airway Management Task Force of the Thoracic Subcommittee of the European Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (EACTAIC). This review highlights the main concepts and expert opinion of international leaders on the task of lung isolation and separation, as well as the current recommendations on the benefits and disadvantages of different devices in both routine and difficult airway scenarios. The consensus statement addresses the following main clinical topics and questions: (1) What are the overall goals and means of lung isolation and separation? (2) What are the best practices for using double-lumen tubes? (3) What is the role of alternative devices, specifically bronchial blockers? (4) What are the best practices for managing a difficult airway? (5) What are the recommendations for special cases? (6) What are the research priorities for thoracic anesthesia regarding airway management? The authors conclude with a brief reference to how these recommendations relate to the concepts of good clinical practice and enhanced recovery. The document was developed and formally evaluated by senior clinicians representing the core membership of the EACTAIC Thoracic Subcommittee from Europe, the United States, Africa, and the Middle East. Although the high-level evidence base is generally limited and significant controversies remain, all recommendations of the Task Force achieved an agreed (>60%), strong (>80%), or sometimes full (>95%) consensus. This consensus should serve as a consolidation of diverse practices of thoracic anesthesia and a starting point toward obtaining stronger evidence to further enhance our clinical practice in the future.

Perceptions, Definitions, and Preparedness Regarding Low-Performing and Impaired Colleagues in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia: An International Survey Evangelia Samara, Mona Momeni, Agathi Karakosta, Anna Smyrli, Konstantina Kolonia, Petros Tzimas, Jiapeng Huang, Vojislava Neskovic, Manuel Granell Gil, Gianluca Paternoster, Abdelazeem Eldawlatly, Mikhail Kirov, Evgeny Grigoryev, Hushan Ao, Davy Cheng, Fawzia Aboulfetouh, Eric Benedet Lineburger, Jakob Wittenstein, Mert Senturk, Zerrin Sungur, Abdulaziz Ahmad, Xiaojie liu, Carolina Baeta Neves Duarte Ferreira, Fabio Guarracino, Ueda Kenichi, Laszlo L. Szegedi, Mina Tharwat Fouad BESHARA, Marc Vives, Priya Ramachandran Menon, Mohamed R. El Tahan Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2026 OBJECTIVE: To define low-performing colleagues in cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia (LPC-CTVA), evaluate institutional preparedness to identify and manage such individuals, and identify predictors of recognition, reporting, and response behaviors. DESIGN: International cross-sectional survey. SETTING: Web-based data collection from June to September 2024. PARTICIPANTS: Of 878 responses, 537 (61.2%) were complete and analyzed, representing 57 countries. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: A 43-item questionnaire was developed by a multidisciplinary team and distributed via professional societies, social media, and email. It assessed definitions of LPC-CTVA, institutional protocols, and preparedness to address underperformance. Consensus was defined as ≥70% agreement. Thirteen of the 18 statements met consensus. Common indicators included non-compliance with infection control (80.0%), outdated knowledge (80.3%), repeated procedural failures (80.0%), and persistent negligence (79.1%). Institutional support was limited: among 464 respondents, 22.2% reported active supervision for underperformance, 15.3% reported the presence of identification mechanisms, and 11.7% indicated the existence of formal management processes. Although 39.9% of 434 had encountered a low-performing colleague, only 23.1% of 447 had reported one. Preparedness to manage impaired colleagues was reported by 46.2% of 418 respondents, and preparedness to manage underperforming colleagues by 44.1% of 416 respondents. Key barriers included the belief that others would act (33.7% of 265), perceived ineffectiveness (28.3%), and fear of retaliation (21.9%). Preparedness was more prevalent among older, more experienced clinicians, those in leadership roles, and those with prior experience in reporting. CONCLUSIONS: A consensus-based definition of LPC-CTVA has been established. However, institutional readiness and clinician confidence remain limited. Experience and structured systems enhance response capability.

Müller, and Vox Sanguinis, 2026 Background and Objectives The number of critically ill patients with haematological conditions is increasing, yet transfusion practices in this population remain poorly defined. This study aimed to compare transfusion strategies in critically ill patients with versus without haematological conditions. Study Design and Methods This international, prospective observational substudy of the International Point Prevalence Study of Intensive Care Unit [ICU] Transfusion Practices (InPUT) evaluated transfusion use in ICU patients with and without haematological conditions, including benign or malignant diseases or a history of stem cell transplantation. Outcomes included use of red blood cells (RBCs), platelets, plasma, haemostatic interventions, transfusion indications and thresholds. Results Of 3643 ICU patients, 131 (3.6%) had a haematological condition. These patients were more likely to receive RBC (odds ratio [OR] 1.58, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09–2.29) and platelet transfusions (OR 8.32, 95% CI 5.09–13.6), primarily due to low haemoglobin rather than physiological triggers. Platelet thresholds were lower (median 23 × 10 9 /L vs. 64 × 10 9 /L) compared to non‐haematology patients. Both platelet and plasma transfusions were more frequently administered prophylactically rather than for active bleeding. Haemostatic interventions were more often used in haematology patients, at higher doses and typically without viscoelastic testing. Transfused haematology patients had higher 28‐day mortality and longer ICU stays. Conclusion ICU patients with haematological conditions receive transfusions differently, particularly regarding platelet and plasma use. These findings underscore the need for prospective studies to define optimal transfusion thresholds in this growing and vulnerable patient population, although the study's limited sample size and lack of diagnostic granularity may affect interpretation.
Association of anticoagulant therapy dosing with laboratory biomarkers and clinical outcomes in critically ill COVID-19 patients in the ICU Igor Vaskovic, Marija Markovic, Ljiljana Arsenovic, Aleksandra Ignjatovic, Mihailo Stojic, Vojislava Neskovic Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2026 Background/Aim. In immunothrombotic disorders such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), D-dimer levels are frequently elevated, reflecting increased fibrin formation and turnover. Additional biomarkers, such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), are associated with disease severity and outcomes. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of two different anticoagulation protocols on serum levels of biomarkers D-dimer, NLR, CRP, and LDH, as well as their prognostic value regarding clinical outcomes in critically ill patients with COVID-19. Methods. The retrospective study included critically ill COVID-19 patients, admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) between April 2020 and December 2021, and compared D-dimer–guided and anti-Xa–guided anticoagulation protocols. Patients were divided into two groups according to the anticoagulant therapy regimen: a group with a protocol guided by anti-Xa values (AXa group – A-XaG) and a group with a protocol dosing according to D-dimer values (D-d group – D-dG). Results. A total of 395 patients were analyzed: 137 in A-XaG and 258 in D-dG. The levels of CRP, LDH, and D-dimer were significantly lower in A-XaG compared to D-dG (p 64 years (OR: 10.215; p 395 U/L (OR: 5.491; p = 0.005) remained independently associated with mortality. Conclusion. Anti-Xa–guided anticoagulation was associated with lower inflammatory biomarker levels in ICU COVID-19 patients. While univariate analysis identified age, LDH, CRP, and D-dimer as potential prognostic factors for mortality, only age and LDH remained significant in multivariate modelling, suggesting independent prognostic value in this patient population.
The Influence of Older Age on RBC Transfusion Decisions in ICU Patients Caroline M. Schaap, Senta Jorinde Raasveld, Florian Reizine, Boillot Corentin, Jimmy Schenk, Sanne de Bruin, Merijn C. Reuland, Claudia van den Oord, Andrew W. J. Flint, Tarikul Hamid, Michaël Piagnerelli, Tina Tomić Mahečić, Jan Benes, Lene Russell, Hernan Aguirre-Bermeo, Konstantina Triantafyllopoulou, Vasiliki Chantziara, Mohan Gurjar, Sheila Nainan Myatra, Vincenzo Pota, Muhammed Elhadi, Ryszard Gawda, Mafalda Mourisco, Marcus Lance, Vojislava Neskovic, Matej Podbregar, Juan V.

A. Müller, Thomas W. L. Scheeren, Cécile Aubron, Alexander P. J. Vlaar, Harm-Jan de Grooth, and Critical Care Medicine, 2026 Objectives: RBC transfusions are common in the ICU. Recent studies suggest that a restrictive transfusion policy is noninferior or superior to a liberal policy. However, few studies focus on the influence of age in transfusion. In elderly ICU patients, reduced physiologic reserves may shift the perceived risk-benefit balance of transfusion, potentially leading to different transfusion practices. This study examines whether transfusion practices in ICU patients differ across patient age. Design: This is a substudy of the International Point Prevalence Study of ICU Transfusion Practices (InPUT), a global, multicenter, prospective observational cohort study. Setting: ICUs from 233 centers across 30 countries. Data were collected from March 2019 to October 2022 in prespecified weeks. Patients: Adult ICU patients (≥ 18 yr) admitted during predefined study weeks. Patients were categorized by age (< 65, 65–75, 75–85, and > 85 yr). Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: A total of 3643 patients from 233 centers across 30 countries were included. Of these, 53% were younger than 65 years, 26% were 65–75 years, 17% were 75–85 years, and 4% were older than 85 years. RBC transfusion rates ranged from 23% to 26% across all age groups ( p = 0.91). Patients older than 85 years had higher stated hemoglobin thresholds (median, 10.0 g/dL) compared with younger patients (median, 8.0 g/dL; p < 0.001). “Age” and “improve general state” were more frequently cited as reasons for transfusion in patients older than 85 years. However, after adjustment, age was not associated with the probability of receiving an RBC transfusion. Conclusions: Different transfusion strategies are applied in patients older than 85 years old. These differences appear to be driven by age-related differences in physiology and diagnoses rather than motivated by older age itself.
Global transfusion practices in septic patients in the intensive care unit: insights from the InPUT-study sub-analysis Vincent C. Kurucz, Andrew W. J. Flint, Alexis Poole, Merijn C.

Vlaar, Jimmy Schenk, Senta Jorinde Raasveld, and Transfusion, 2025 Background Transfusion practices among intensive care unit (ICU) patients with sepsis vary widely. While restrictive hemoglobin thresholds for red blood cell (RBC) transfusion are well studied, the indications and thresholds for platelet and plasma transfusions remain uncertain. Methods We performed a sepsis‐specific sub‐analysis of the International Point Prevalence Study of Intensive Care Unit Transfusion Practices , a prospective, multicenter, observational study capturing all adult ICU admissions during four pre‐scheduled weeks between March 2019 and October 2022. Patients admitted with sepsis or septic shock, or who developed sepsis during their ICU stay, were included. We recorded demographics, daily laboratory values, and transfusion triggers. Primary endpoints were the proportions of patients receiving RBCs, platelets, or plasma; secondary endpoints were indications, pre‐transfusion thresholds, and blood loss. Results Among 3643 screened patients, 799 (22%) fulfilled sepsis criteria; within this subgroup, 317 (40%) received at least one blood component. RBCs were transfused in 269 patients (34%), primarily to address anemia or hemodynamic instability, at a mean pre‐transfusion hemoglobin of 7.5 ± 1.4 g/dL, consistent with restrictive practice. Platelets were given to 78 patients (10%) for prophylaxis or active bleeding at a median count of 26 × 10 9 cells/L (interquartile range 16–51 × 10 9 cells/L). Plasma was administered to 108 patients (14%), half for bleeding control and half for non‐bleeding indications. Conclusions This largest international snapshot of septic ICU transfusion practices confirms adherence to restrictive RBC thresholds but reveals substantial variability in platelet and plasma use. These findings underscore the need for targeted trials to refine transfusion guidelines in sepsis.

Pfortmueller, Nihan Yapici, Nathan D. Nielsen, Akshay Shah, Harm-Jan de Grooth, Zoe McQuilten, Alexander P. J. Vlaar, Cécile Aubron, and Critical Care Medicine, 2025 Objective: There is a lack of comprehensive international data regarding platelet transfusion practices in the ICU. This study aimed to evaluate the current occurrence rate of platelet transfusion in the ICU and provide an overview of platelet transfusion practices including indications for a platelet transfusion, thresholds, (non-)adherence and geo-economic region variations. Design: International prospective cohort study. Setting: Two hundred thirty-three centers in 30 countries worldwide. Patients: All patients 18 years old and older, admitted to the ICU during a single study week, selected by each site from one of the 16 predefined weeks (March 2019 to October 2022), were included. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: Of the 3643 patients, 208 (6%) received a platelet transfusion during their ICU stay and main indications consisted of active bleeding (42%, n = 187/443), prophylaxis (33%, n = 144/443) or an upcoming procedure (12%, n = 51/443). The median platelet count before transfusion was 44 × 10 9 /L (interquartile range [IQR], 20–78) with variation by indication, including a higher median of 60 × 10 9 /L (IQR 31–93) during active bleeding. A threshold for transfusion was stated in 51% ( n = 224/443) of the events, with a median threshold platelet count of 50 × 10 9 /L (IQR, 40–100). The advised threshold was not adhered to in 16% ( n = 36/224) of cases, with the majority having active bleeding as indication. Contrasts in transfusion practices were observed across different geo-economic regions. Platelet transfusions were administered to 6% ( n = 156/2520) of patients in high-income countries, 5% ( n = 52/1069) of patients in upper-middle-income countries and in none from lower-middle-income countries ( n = 0/54). Non-adherence was higher in the high-income countries (23%, n = 34/149) than upper-middle-income countries (3%, n = 2/75). Conclusions: Platelet transfusions were administered to a small proportion of critically ill patients, and were given to treat active bleeding or as prophylaxis in the majority of cases. Occurence rate, indication and threshold adherence for platelet transfusion widely varied between geo-economic regions.

Raval, Lauren Sutherland Critical Care, 2025 PURPOSE: Red-blood-cell (RBC) transfusion is one of the most frequent interventions in critical care patients. While patients with acute cardiac conditions are more likely to receive transfusions at higher haemoglobin thresholds than other critically ill patients, data on RBC transfusion practice for critically ill patients with pre-existing cardiac conditions are scarce. METHODS: Using the International Point-Prevalence Study of Intensive-Care Unit Transfusion Practices cohort, weighted logistic regression investigated the association between the RBC units transfused and the primary composite outcome of 28-day mortality, new-onset acute kidney injury or ventilatory weaning failure. Interactions with cardiac history (acute coronary syndrome and/or heart failure) were tested. RESULTS: Cardiac history was present in 746 of 3643 patients (20%) and 894 of 3643 (25%) received at least one RBC unit. Transfusion rates were similar in patients with and without cardiac history (25% vs. 24%; p = 0.51). Among transfused patients, median nadir haemoglobin during ICU stay was slightly higher in those with cardiac history (7.6 g/dL vs. 7.4 g/dL respectively; p = 0.007), whereas stated haemoglobin transfusion threshold did not statistically differ (8.5 g/dL vs. 8.0 g/dL; p = 0.11). Each additional RBC unit increased the odds of the composite outcome in the whole cohort (2.18, 95% CI 1.85–2.56, p < 0.0001), without interaction with cardiac history (p = 0.44). CONCLUSIONS: RBC transfusion was commonly and similarly prescribed in critically ill patients with or without cardiac history. Each additional unit was associated with a worse outcome with no evidence of differential effect due to cardiac history.
