AUTHORS: Juri, Takashi MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2022 Export BACKGROUND: Error grid analysis was recently proposed to compare blood pressure obtained by 2 measurement methods. This study aimed to compare continuous noninvasive blood pressure (CNBP) with invasive blood pressure (IBP) using the error grid analysis and investigate the confounding risk factors attributable to […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Seiler, F. Arran MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2022 BACKGROUND: Neuraxial labor analgesia is associated with elevations in maternal temperature; the mechanism responsible is unknown. Proposed mechanisms have included infection, altered thermoregulation, and inflammation, potentially triggered by local anesthetics. Studies of the association between neuraxial labor analgesia and maternal fever have focused on […]

Read MoreAUTHORS: Desebbe, Olivier MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2022 Abstract BACKGROUND: Vasopressors are a cornerstone for the management of vasodilatory hypotension. Vasopressor infusions are currently adjusted manually to achieve a predefined arterial pressure target. We have developed a closed-loop vasopressor (CLV) controller to help correct hypotension more efficiently during the perioperative period. We tested […]

MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2022 BACKGROUND: Ketamine is typically used by anesthesiologists as an adjunct for general anesthesia and as a nonopioid analgesic. It has been explored for prevention of postoperative delirium, although results have been contradictory. In this study, we investigated the association of ketamine with […]
