Elective cancer surgery in COVID-19-free surgical pathways during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: An international, multicenter, comparative cohort study

PURPOSE As cancer surgery restarts after the first COVID-19 wave, health care providers urgently require data to determine where elective surgery is best performed. This study aimed to determine whether COVID-19–free surgical pathways were associated with lower postoperative pulmonary complication rates compared with hospitals with no defined pathway. PATIENTS AND METHODS This international, multicenter cohort study included patients who underwent elective surgery for 10 solid cancer types without preoperative suspicion of SARS-CoV-2. Participating hospitals included patients from local emergence of SARS-CoV-2 until April 19, 2020. At the time of surgery, hospitals were defined as having a COVID-19–free surgical pathway (complete segregation of the operating theater, critical care, and inpatient ward areas) or no defined pathway (incomplete or no segregation, areas shared with patients with COVID-19). The primary outcome was 30-day postoperative pulmonary complications (pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, unexpected ventilation). RESULTS Of 9,171 patients from 447 hospitals in 55 countries, 2,481 were operated on in COVID-19–free surgical pathways. Patients who underwent surgery within COVID-19–free surgical pathways were younger with fewer comorbidities than those in hospitals with no defined pathway but with similar proportions of major surgery. After adjustment, pulmonary complication rates were lower with COVID-19–free surgical pathways (2.2% v 4.9%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.62; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.86). This was consistent in sensitivity analyses for low-risk patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists grade 1/2), propensity score–matched models, and patients with negative SARS-CoV-2 preoperative tests. The postoperative SARS-CoV-2 infection rate was also lower in COVID-19–free surgical pathways (2.1% v 3.6%; aOR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.76). CONCLUSION Within available resources, dedicated COVID-19–free surgical pathways should be established to provide safe elective cancer surgery during current and before future SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

Strategic development of flipped framework on educators and learning constructs for ESL context: the experts’ agreement

The flip learning approach has been accepted by numerous studies as a strategic approach in implementing technological-based classroom environments. Concurrently, Ministry of Education Malaysia is introducing the national educational blueprint for higher education with the focus on heavy investment in developing Blended learning environments at tertiary institutions. This poses a conundrum of how best to implement such environments effectively. Hence, much researches needed to be empirically done to prove the effectiveness of a specific Blended learning approach for an ESL context. This paper aims to ascertain the required constructs in developing a framework for flipped learning in an ESL environment. The study utilized Fuzzy Delphi method to gather and analyze viewpoints of 18 experts from the relevant fields. An online questionnaire was developed to gather the experts’ agreement towards four educators and learning related constructs namely ‘Flexible Environments’; ‘Shift in Learning Culture’; ‘Intentional Content’; ‘Professional Educators’; and 42 items gathered from the literature. The FDM analysis rejected six of the items; finalizing the framework with 36 items. The framework is beneficial to ESL educators, learners and developers of technology-based learning method

Reforming of Glycerol for Hydrogen Production over Ni Based Catalysts: Effect of Support Type

This current work focuses on hydrogen production that is a component in syngas by glycerol dry reforming over 15% nickel (Ni) loading supported on different oxides, namely CaO, ZrO2, and La2O3. The screening process was conducted in a fixed-bed reactor at 700°C under atmospheric pressure. It was found that 15% Ni/CaO showed the best performance in screening studies. The effect of temperature and the carbon to glycerol ratio (CGR) was then analyzed for this catalyst. From the analysis, it was seen that 15% Ni/CaO has its optimum condition at 800°C and CGR = 1, where it gives the highest glycerol conversion (XG = 37.66%) and hydrogen yield (YH = 32.45%)
