AUTHORS: Jinseok Yeo et al World J Surg. 2022 May 8 BACKGROUND A multimodal analgesia (MMA) protocol has shown the effect of postoperative pain control and reduced the postoperative opioid consumption. However, it was questionable whether MMA could replace opioid-based patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) for postoperative pain control. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether an […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Guay, Christian S. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 13, 2022 BACKGROUND: Delirium is an acute syndrome characterized by inattention, disorganized thinking, and an altered level of consciousness. A reliable biomarker for tracking delirium does not exist, but oscillations in the electroencephalogram (EEG) could address this need. We evaluated whether the frequencies of EEG […]

DO et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 12, 2022 BACKGROUND: The representation of women among leaders in the field of anesthesia continues to trail that of their male counterparts. This qualitative study was conducted to understand the pathway of leadership acquisition among women in the field of anesthesiology. METHODS: Using constructivist grounded […]
Read MoreAuthor: Michael Walter Cardiovascular Business Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is not associated with a significant reduction in the risk of dementia, according to a new analysis published in the European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery.[1] However, the study’s authors noted, it did still lead to considerable improvements in stroke risk. “Small, short-term, observational studies have suggested that […]

MSc et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 16, 2022 BACKGROUND: Mortality rates among surgical patients in Africa are double those of surgical patients in high-income countries. Internationally, there is a call to improve access to and safety of surgical and perioperative care. Perioperative research needs to be coordinated across Africa to positively […]

MD, FASE et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 13, 2022 BACKGROUND: We examined the incidence, postoperative outcomes, and patient-related factors associated with preincision cardiac arrest in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS: We retrospectively examined adult patients undergoing elective or urgent cardiac surgery at the Cleveland Clinic between 2008 and 2019. The incidence […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Hindman, Bradley J. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 16, 2022 BACKGROUND: Because intubation-mediated cervical spine and spinal cord injury are likely determined by intubation force magnitude, understanding the determinants of intubation force magnitude is clinically relevant. With direct (Macintosh) laryngoscopy, when glottic view is less favorable, anesthesiologists apply greater force. We hypothesized that, […]

People with severe COVID-19 are at excess risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE), but whether risk also rises among patients with mild disease is unclear. Using Swedish national health databases, researchers identified […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Abe, Hiroaki MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 16, 2022 BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether gabapentinoids affect the development of delirium. We aimed to determine the association between gabapentinoid use and hyperactive delirium in older cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. METHODS: We conducted propensity score-matched analyses using data from a nationwide inpatient database in […]
