AUTHORS: Cho, Brian C., MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2019 – Volume 128 – Issue 5 – p 981–992 BACKGROUND: Erythropoietic-stimulating agents such as erythropoietin have been used as part of patient blood management programs to reduce or even avoid the use of allogeneic blood transfusions. We review the literature to evaluate the effect […]
Read MoreAUTHOR: Radius Anesthesia Operations Management for clinics, hospitals, and surgical services represents multiple challenges with regards to managing patient flow and delivering services in a punctual, cost-sensitive manner. One important challenge that has gained interest in the press concerns the practice of double-booking surgeries. As the title indicates, double-booked surgeries relates to the practice in […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Yonekura, Hiroshi, MD, MPH et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: February 2019 – Volume 128 – Issue 2 – p 213–220 BACKGROUND: The effect of preoperative transthoracic echocardiography on the clinical outcomes of patients with hip fractures undergoing surgical treatment remains controversial. We hypothesized that preoperative echocardiography is associated with reduced postoperative morbidity and improved patient […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Farag, Ehab, MD, FRCA, FASA et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 14, 2019 BACKGROUND: Hypotension is associated with acute kidney injury, but vasopressors used to treat hypotension may also compromise renal function. We therefore tested the hypothesis that vasopressor infusion during complex spine surgery is not associated with impaired renal function. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort analysis, […]
Read MoreDecoding the brain’s instructions to vocal tracts could someday help the speechless speak BY LAURA SANDERS Science News DECODING SPEECH Scientists have transformed brain signals, captured by this grid of electrodes designed to record brain activity, into synthesized sentences. The technique could one day help people who can’t speak communicate. To communicate, people unable to talk […]

Ann Intern Med 2019 Jan 1 Results of a meta-analysis of six randomized, controlled trials in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction Atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently accompanies heart failure, particularly with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). A rhythm control strategy theoretically offers the potential for clinical benefit, but antiarrhythmic agents have […]
Read MoreBy ELLIOT TAPPER and MICHAEL VOLK Source: Stat Liver failure is a terrible way to die: a painful belly full of fluid, vomiting blood, mental confusion, and repeated hospitalizations. The only cure is liver transplantation but, as is the case for all types of transplants, there aren’t nearly enough donor livers to go around. This shortage raises two […]
Read MoreBy Kelly Young Edited by Susan Sadoughi, MD, and André Sofair, MD, MPH In patients with prior venous thromboembolism (VTE), surgery is associated with increased risk for recurrence for up to 6 months, according to a study in JAMA Network Open. Dutch researchers identified 3700 patients aged 70 and under with VTE who were followed for a median […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Cohen, Barak, MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 14, 2019 BACKGROUND: Postoperative pain is common and promotes opioid use. Surgical wounds are hypoxic because normal perfusion is impaired. Local wound ischemia and acidosis promote incisional pain. Some evidence suggests that improving oxygen supply to surgical wounds might reduce pain. We therefore tested the hypothesis that […]

Innovative technologies for continuous noninvasive arterial pressure monitoring are now available. In this study, we […]
