Authors: Ian Yuan, M.D. et al Anesthesiology August 2022, Vol. 137, 187–200. Background Intraoperative isoelectric electroencephalography (EEG) has been associated with hypotension and postoperative delirium in adults. This international prospective observational study sought to determine the prevalence of isoelectric EEG in young children during anesthesia. The authors hypothesized that the prevalence of isoelectric events would be […]

Background Whether a particular surgeon’s opioid prescribing behavior is associated with prolonged postoperative opioid use is unknown. This study tested the hypothesis that the patients of surgeons with a higher propensity to prescribe opioids are more likely to utilize opioids long-term postoperatively. Methods The […]
Read MoreAuthors: Alessandro De Cassai, M.D. et al Anesthesiology July 2022. Background Retracted articles represent research withdrawn from the existing body of literature after publication. Research articles may be retracted for several reasons ranging from honest errors to intentional misconduct. They should not be used as reliable sources, and it is unclear why they are cited […]
Read MoreAuthors: Cecilia Canales, M.D. M.P.H. et al Anesthesiology July 2022. In Reply: We thank Raveh et al. and Ben-Menachem and Ashes for their interest in our research. We are pleased that our article on preoperative point-of-care ultrasound to identify frailty has generated discussions on best practices for measuring and reporting muscle mass as a predictor of patient outcomes. Increasing […]
Read MoreAuthors: Mats Enlund, M.D., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology July 2022. Background Several retrospective studies using administrative or single-center data have failed to show any difference between general anesthesia using propofol versus inhaled volatiles on long-term survival after breast cancer surgery. Although randomized controlled trials are ongoing, validated data from national clinical registries may advance the reliability of […]

DESIGN Retrospective cohort analysis. SETTING Primary care practices in […]

An optimal opioid-sparing multimodal analgesic regimen to treat severe pain can enhance recovery after total knee arthroplasty. We hypothesized that adding 5 recently described IV and regional interventions to multimodal analgesic regimen can further reduce opioid consumption. […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Kim, Hyerim MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: August 2022 BACKGROUND: Maneuvers for preventing passive regurgitation of gastric contents are applied to effectively occlude the esophagus throughout rapid sequence induction and intubation. The aim of this randomized, crossover study was to investigate the effectiveness of cricoid and paratracheal pressures in occluding the esophagus through induction […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Chan, Anyon MBChB et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: August 2022 BACKGROUND: Lumbar erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been proposed to relieve pain after total hip replacement (THR), but high-quality evidence is scarce. METHODS: This double-blinded (patient and assessor) randomized clinical trial, performed in 2 tertiary centers in Hong Kong, recruited patients undergoing primary unilateral […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Tewfik, George L. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: August 2022 BACKGROUND: Many day-of-surgery cancellations are avoidable, and different strategies are used to prevent these costly adverse events. Despite these past analyses and evaluations of positive interventions, studies have not examined the final disposition of patients whose cases were canceled in this late manner. This […]
