Anesthesia & Analgesia: April 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 4 – p 1169–1177 AUTHORS: Luedi, Markus M. MD, MBA et al BACKGROUND: In elderly, high-risk patients, operating room (OR) turnaround times are especially difficult to estimate, and the managerial implications of patient age and ASA physical status for OR management decisions remain unclear. We […]

Detection of respiratory depression (or apnea) in these children may be improved with the […]

MD et al BACKGROUND: Severe primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a major cause of early morbidity and mortality in patients after lung transplantation. The etiology and pathophysiology of PGD is not fully characterized and whether intraoperative fluid […]

MD et al BACKGROUND: Improved pain control after cesarean delivery remains a challenging objective. Poorly treated acute pain following delivery is associated with an increased risk of chronic pain and depression. This study was conducted to determine […]
