MD et al BACKGROUND: Hormonal action has been implicated as a possible mechanism for pregnancy-induced analgesia. Previous investigators have reported an increase in heat pain tolerance during labor compared with nonpregnant controls and postulated it was because […]

Studies suggest that this cell-free Hb may decrease nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, potentially leading to endothelial dysfunction, vascular injury, […]
Read MoreEndotracheal tube stylets are handy devices in many ways. They’re strong, sterile and malleable, so with a little bend, they’re great for hanging large IV bags.
Read MoreAuthors: John W. Eikelboom, M.B.B.S. et al Anesthesiology published on September 15, 2016. Background: The PeriOperative ISchemia Evaluation-2 (POISE-2) trial compared aspirin with placebo after noncardiac surgery. Methods: The authors randomly assigned 10,010 patients undergoing noncardiac surgery to receive 200 mg aspirin or placebo 2 to 4 h before surgery and then 100 mg aspirin daily or placebo daily for up to 30 days […]
