Authors: A. Belletti; M. L. Castro et al Br J Anaesth. 2015;115(5):656-675. Background: Inotropes and vasopressors are frequently administered to critically ill patients in order to improve haemodynamic function and restore adequate organ perfusion. However, some studies have suggested a possible association between inotrope administration and increased mortality. We therefore performed a meta-analysis of randomized trials published […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia:Post Author Corrections: March 22, 2016 AUTHORS: Applegate, Richard L. II MD et BACKGROUND: The use of intraoperative pulse oximetry (SpO2) enhances hypoxia detection and is associated with fewer perioperative hypoxic events. However, SpO2 may be reported as 98% when arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) is as low as 70 mm Hg. […]

MD, MSCE et al BACKGROUND: Adductor canal block (ACB) has emerged as an appealing alternative to femoral nerve block (FNB) that produces a predominantly sensory nerve block by anesthetizing the saphenous nerve. Studies have shown greater quadriceps […]

We hypothesized that difference in outcome […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: May 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 5 – p 1516–1523 AUTHORS: Lim, Grace MD et al BACKGROUND: There are many teaching methods for epidural anesthesia skill acquisition. Previous work suggests that there is no difference in skill acquisition whether novice learners engage in low-fidelity (LF) versus high-fidelity haptic simulation for epidural […]
Read MoreThe US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today announced new class-wide safety labeling changes for immediate-release (IR) opioid pain medications, which make up about 90% of all opioid prescriptions. The new labels include a new boxed warning about the risks for misuse, abuse, addiction, overdose and death. In addition, as they did in 2013 with […]
Read MoreRepeated subcutaneous injections of botulinum toxin A (Botox, Allergan) provides analgesic relief to patients with neuropathic pain, a new randomized controlled trial has shown. The study showed that two series of injections were safe and effective for treating peripheral neuropathic pain, especially in a subgroup of patients with allodynia. This research is important because neuropathic […]
Read MoreFor patients undergoing genioplasty, the use of ultrasonic piezosurgery equipment reduces trauma, pain, and swelling, compared with traditional surgical drills, according to a study published in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery. “Piezosurgery may be a viable alternative to traditional osteotomy technique, as it reduces the degree of inflammation, pain, swelling, and morbidity, improving satisfaction and […]
Read MorePipemidic acid, phenazopyridine HCl, and sodium diclofenac are effective for pain relief following endoscopic urology surgery without side effects, and it is safe when used in combination with antibiotics and anticoagulants, according to a study presented here at the 31st Annual European Association of Urology (EAU) Congress. However, pipemidic acid showed a superior analgesic effect […]
Read MoreResearchers have shown that patients who have chronic pain can reduce their emotional response to the pain through spinal cord stimulation. The study results are published in the latest issue of the journal Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface. “Our initial study provides insights into the role of the brain’s emotional networks in relieving chronic […]
