Authors: Helen Hoyt, BS et al Anesthesiology August 2022. Background Etomidate, barbiturates, alphaxalone, and propofol are anesthetics that allosterically modulate GABAA receptors via distinct sets of molecular binding sites. Two-state concerted co-agonist models account for anesthetic effects and predict supra-additive interactions between drug pairs acting at distinct sites. Some behavioral and molecular studies support these predictions, while other […]

However, conventional monitoring does not inform on the nature of nociceptive processes during unconsciousness. A means of inferring the quality of […]

Postoperative increases in neurofilament light have been associated with delirium after noncardiac surgery. However, few studies have examined the association of neurofilament light […]
Read MoreAuthors: Spencer P. Walsh, M.D. et al Anesthesiology August 2022. After the landmark Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network study in 2000, the idea of low tidal volume (VT) ventilation spread through the critical care and anesthesiology communities. Studies have shown that positive-pressure ventilation contributes to lung inflammation and might predispose general surgery and intensive care unit […]
