AUTHORS: Bartels, Karsten MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: August 2020 – Volume 131 – Issue 2 – p 555-563 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. […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Cohen, Steven P. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: July 2020 BACKGROUND: The rising use of injections to treat low back pain (LBP) has led to efforts to improve selection. Nonorganic (Waddell) signs have been shown to portend treatment failure for surgery and other therapies but have not been studied for minimally invasive interventions. […]

Read MoreAUTHORS: Ferrari, Lynne MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: July 2020 BACKGROUND: When applied to the pediatric population, the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA-PS) classification has exhibited poor reliability due to its subjective and adult-focused definitions. This study was done to measure interrater agreement of a pediatric-adapted ASA-PS classification and to solicit multicenter […]

Read MoreAuthor: Rebecca Araujo docwirenews Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI), a novel intraoperative imaging method, can precisely assess surgical margins during radical prostatectomy, according to findings from a first-in-human trial published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Radical prostatectomy, the removal of the prostate gland and surrounding tissues, is a primary treatment option for localized prostate cancer. […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Goldhaber-Fiebert, Sara N. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: August 2020 BACKGROUND: Performing key actions efficiently during crises can determine clinical outcomes, yet even expert clinicians omit key actions. Simulation-based studies of crises show that correct performance of key actions dramatically increases when emergency manuals (EMs) are used. Despite widespread dissemination of EMs, there […]

In addition, among people aged <60 years, HIV-positive status more than doubled the risk of mortality after adjusting for sex, ethnicity, age, baseline date, comorbidities, […]
