Anesthesia & Analgesia: March 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 3 – p 664–676 AUTHORS: Ahn, Eun Jin MD et al BACKGROUND: Previous randomized controlled trials regarding the effectiveness of perioperative midazolam in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) have produced conflicting results. Consequently, the present systematic review was performed to assess the effect of […]

BS et al BACKGROUND: Stored red blood cells (RBCs) are deficient in 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), but it is unclear how autologous salvaged blood (ASB) compares with stored blood and how rapidly 2,3-DPG levels return to normal after transfusion. […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: March 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 3 – p 608–615 AUTHORS: Maile, Michael D. MD, MS et al BACKGROUND: Intraoperative electrocardiographic monitoring is considered a standard of care. However, there are no evidence-based algorithms for using intraoperative ST segment data to identify patients at high risk for adverse perioperative cardiac events. […]

MD et al BACKGROUND: Intubation success in patients with predicted difficult airways is improved by video laryngoscopy. In particular, acute-angle video laryngoscopes are now frequently chosen for endotracheal intubation in these patients. However, there is no evidence […]

Therefore, we hypothesized that infusion of a saline flush immediately after rocuronium administration would shorten the onset time without influencing the duration of the rocuronium […]

Whenever there is a pressure gradient, the radial artery pressure measure […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: February 18, 2016 AUTHORS: Cobb, Benjamin MD et al BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to apply both IV fluid and forced-air warming to decrease perioperative hypothermia in women undergoing cesarean delivery with spinal anesthesia. The authors hypothesize that combined-modality active warming (AW) would increase maternal temperature on arrival at the […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: February 18, 2016 AUTHORS: Klein, Jeffrey A. MD, MPH et al BACKGROUND: Tumescent lidocaine anesthesia consists of subcutaneous injection of relatively large volumes (up to 4 L or more) of dilute lidocaine (<=1 g/L) and epinephrine (<=1 mg/L). Although tumescent lidocaine anesthesia is used for an increasing variety of surgical procedures, the […]

Kumar, MD Professor of Anesthesiology University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, North Carolina Introduction Drugs causing angiotensin axis blockade (AAB) include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) agents. Due to the current trend of an […]

A prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled, investigational device exemption (IDE) noninferiority trial. Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the comparative safety and effectiveness of lumbar total disc replacement (TDR) in the treatment of […]
