AUTHORS: Rezaiguia-Delclaux, Saïda MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: September 2020 BACKGROUND: Whether train-of-four (TOF) monitoring is more effective than clinical monitoring to guide neuromuscular blockade (NMB) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is unclear. We compared clinical monitoring alone or with TOF monitoring to guide atracurium dosage adjustment with respect to drug […]

Paediatr Anaesth. 2021 Jan INTRODUCTION Several prior studies have demonstrated an association between trisomy 21 and airway-related anesthetic complications. However, there is a paucity of large clinical studies characterizing the airway challenges associated with trisomy 21. In this analysis we examine anesthetic related airway complications […]

Neurosurg Rev. 2021 Jan Treatment of patients with failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) with predominant low back pain (LBP) remains challenging. High-frequency spinal cord stimulation (HF10 SCS) is believed to achieve significant pain reduction. We aimed to evaluate the real-life efficacy of HF-10 SCS in […]
Read MoreAuthors: Xavier C. E. Vrijdag, M.Sc. et al Anesthesiology February 2021, Vol. 134, 202–218. Background Nitrous oxide produces non–γ-aminobutyric acid sedation and psychometric impairment and can be used as scientific model for understanding mechanisms of progressive cognitive disturbances. Temporal complexity of the electroencephalogram may be a sensitive indicator of these effects. This study measured psychometric performance […]

Clin Nutr. 2021 Jan; 40(1): 64-71 BACKGROUND Given that population aging is a global health challenge, the high prevalence of postoperative neurocognitive impairment in elderly patients necessitates the development of novel simple and effective prevention methods. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of perioperative application of […]

Anaesthesia. 2021 Jan Hyperbaric bupivacaine spinal anaesthesia remains the gold standard for elective caesarean section, but the resultant clinical effects can be unpredictable. Hyperbaric prilocaine induces shorter motor block but has not previously been studied in the obstetric spinal anaesthesia setting. We aimed to compare […]

J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth. 2021 Jan OBJECTIVES Transcaval transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TC-TAVR) is an alternative approach to transcatheter aortic valve replacement involving deployment of the bioprosthetic valve via a conduit created from the inferior vena cava to the descending aorta in patients for […]
Read MoreAuthor: Michael Walter Cardiovascular Business News Statin therapy that includes evolocumab can help patients with stable atherosclerosis decrease their risk of undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The authors tracked data from more than 1,700 patients […]
