Read MoreAuthor: Michael Vlessides Anesthesiology News Mimicking results in adults, new research has found that opioid-naive children are at increased risk for persistent opioid use after surgery. According to a team of investigators at Stanford University School of Medicine, in California, while persistent postoperative opioid use was relatively infrequent among patients less than 12 years of […]
Read MoreAuthors: Uzung Yoon et al BMC Anesthesiology volume 19, Article number: 220 (2019) Background Emergent airway management outside of the operating room is a high-risk procedure.

Methods We retrospectively collected data on all […]
Read MoreAuthor: Nathan, Naveen MD Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2020 – Volume 130 – Issue 1 – p 1 The development of new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) represents the most common arrhythmia managed by anesthesiologists in the perioperative period. Although in many cases this entity is self-limited or is quickly ameliorated with therapy, NOAF originates an independent […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Bartels, Karsten MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: December 6, 2019 BACKGROUND: Postoperative hypoxemia (POH) is common and primarily treated with temporary oxygen supplementation. Because the clinical impact of POH is sometimes presumed as minor, efforts to better understand and minimize it have been limited. Here, we hypothesized that, after adjusting for opioids […]
Read MoreBy Robert Dillard doc wire People suffering from stress-related disorders, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have an increased risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases, according to a new study published in JAMA Neurology.

Design A retrospective analysis. Setting Review of the institutional database between October 2016 and October 2018 revealed 24 patients who […]
Read MoreBy Kelly Young Bariatric surgery is associated with lower risk for subsequent colorectal cancer, suggests an observational study in JAMA Surgery. Researchers studied obese adults aged 50 to 75 years who were hospitalized in France. Colorectal cancer rates were compared between 74,000 who underwent bariatric surgery and 970,000 who did not. During roughly 5 years’ follow-up, […]

I obtain a midesophageal bicaval view looking for preexisting hardware in the patient’s right atrium (RA) such as ICD wires, PICC […]
