AUTHORS: Ing, Caleb MD, MS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 22, 2021 – Volume – Issue – 10 BACKGROUND: Exposure to surgery and anesthesia in early childhood has been found to be associated with an increased risk of behavioral deficits. While the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned against prenatal exposure to anesthetic […]

BACKGROUND: Intraoperative methadone, a long-acting opioid, is increasingly used for postoperative analgesia, although the optimal methadone dosing strategy in children is still unknown. The use of a single large dose of intraoperative methadone is controversial […]

BACKGROUND: Hyperglycemia is associated with mortality after trauma; however, few studies have simultaneously investigated the association of depth of shock and acute hyperglycemia. We evaluated lactate, as a surrogate measure for depth of shock, and glucose levels […]

BACKGROUND: Residual neuromuscular blockade is associated with an increased incidence of postoperative respiratory complications. The REsidual neuromuscular block Prediction Score (REPS) identifies patients at high risk for residual neuromuscular blockade after surgery. METHODS: A total of 101,510 […]

BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2021 Mar 6; 22(1): 251 BACKGROUND There are no clear indicators for predicting return to work for patients with chronic low back pain (LBP). We aim to report the outcomes of a 14-week multidisciplinary programme targeting patients with […]

Due to limitations of current diagnostic strategies, we sought to determine whether free hemoglobin (fHb) ratio (ie, levels […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Safa, Ben MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: April 2021 – Volume 132 – Issue 4 – p 1129-1137 BACKGROUND: Bupivacaine and ropivacaine are the preferred long-acting local anesthetics for peripheral nerve blocks as they provide prolonged analgesia in the postoperative period. No studies have directly compared the analgesic duration of these commonly used local […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Pham, Vinh MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 12, 2021 – Volume – Issue – 10. Background: Use of anesthesia machines as improvised ICU ventilators may occur in locations where waste anesthesia gas suction(WAGS) is unavailable. Anecdotal reports suggest as much as 18 cmH2O positive end-expiratory pressure(PEEP) being inadvertently applied under these circumstances, accompanied […]

DO, FAOCA et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 12, 2021 – Volume – Issue – 10.1 Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the personal and professional lives of all healthcare workers. Anesthesiologists frequently perform virus-aerosolizing procedures, such as intubation and extubation, that place them at increased risk of infection. We sought to determine how […]
