Author: Naveed Saleh MD MS Anesthesiology News In two studies presented at Euroanaesthesia 2019, researchers showed that flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) improved gas exchange, and that the linearized expiratory airflow during FCV may be particularly lung-protective in obese patients. FCV is a novel type of ventilation, which delivers a constant positive flow during inspiration and maintains […]
Read MoreAuthors: Miyao, Hideki MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: December 16, 2019 BACKGROUND: Several studies of critically ill patients reported that fluid resuscitation with hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions damages the kidneys, but their use for surgical patients is debated. Because different HES preparations have different safety profiles, we sought to determine whether 6% third-generation […]
Read MoreAuthor: Naveed Saleh MD MS Anesthesiology News In light of rising rates of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and staffing constraints, cardiac anesthesiologists could be tapped to perform transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Researchers assessed the feasibility of intraoperative TTE performed and interpreted by anesthesiologists in assessing paravalvular (PVL) leak, in novel research presented at the 2019 […]

Read MoreAuthors: Bunte, Sebastian MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2020 – Volume 130 – Issue 1 – p 90-98 BACKGROUND: Timing and onset of myocardial ischemia are mostly unpredictable. Therefore, postconditioning could be an effective cardioprotective intervention. Because ischemic postconditioning is an invasive and not practicable treatment, pharmacological postconditioning would be a more suitable […]
Read MoreAuthor: Michael Vlessides Anesthesiology News Regional blocks appear to offer benefits in patients undergoing bilateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction that extend well beyond the ambulatory surgery setting. “Over the past decad e, we’ve seen a significant increase in breast reconstruction after mastectomy, a lot of which is happening in the outpatient setting,” said Hanae K. […]
Read MoreAuthors: Dunn, Lauren K. MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2020 – Volume 130 – Issue 1 – p 100-110 BACKGROUND: Blood loss during adult spinal deformity surgery is multifactorial. Anesthetic-related factors, such as mode of mechanical ventilation, may contribute to intraoperative blood loss. The aim of this study was to determine the […]
