Viscoelastic Blood Tests Use in Adult Cardiac Surgery: Meta-Analysis, Meta-Regression, and Trial Sequential Analysis

The Comparison of Albumin and 6% Hydroxyethyl Starches (130/0.4) in Cardiac Surgery: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials

This study provided evidence that the 6% HES (130/0.4) might be the substitute for HA, which reduced the economic burden for patients with cardiac surgery. However, the effect of 6% HES (130/0.4) and HA on AKI still needs to be further studied.

Education in Evidence-Based Health Care: Never A Greater Need

The pandemic has highlighted the importance of health science and research that is efficiently produced, evaluated and acted on. Hand in hand with this comes the ability to ask, find, appraise and apply evidence to support effective decisions. These abilities are essential skills—skills that need to be taught. Where there is a need to be taught, there is a need for people to teach. The final article in the series aims to aid EBHC educators in this mission. Through collaboration and consensus, our peers come together to provide aspiring EBHC teachers a resource of their go-to articles in support of effective and inspirational teaching and education.
