DESIGN Retrospective. SETTING Level-I […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Salaün, Jean-Philippe MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: October 27, 2022 BACKGROUND: One in 7 children will need general anesthesia (GA) before the age of 3. Brain toxicity of anesthetics is controversial. Our objective was to clarify whether exposure of GA to the developing brain could lead to lasting behavioral and structural brain changes. […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Jiang, Jia-Li MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: October 27, 2022 BACKGROUND: The effect of anesthesia regimens on postoperative delirium after on-pump cardiac valve surgery is yet undetermined. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of volatile anesthesia compared with propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) on the occurrence of delirium after on-pump cardiac valve surgery. […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Zhang, Yu MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: October 26, 2022 Abstract BACKGROUND: Surgery is accompanied by a systemic inflammatory response that may presage delirium in susceptible individuals. Little is known about the trajectory of plasma proinflammatory cytokines and their potential associations with postoperative delirium (POD). The current study longitudinally assessed both pro and anti-inflammatory […]

This study investigated neurodevelopmental outcomes after prenatal anaesthesia for maternal surgery. A bidirectional cohort study of children born between 2001 and 2018 was performed: neurodevelopmental outcomes of children who had received prenatal […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Cohen, William G. BA et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: November 02, 2022 BACKGROUND: Ketorolac-refractory pain behavior following bilateral myringotomy and pressure equalization tube placement (BMT) is associated with the absence of middle ear fluid. Intraoperative fentanyl/ketorolac affords more reliable pain control than ketorolac alone. We hypothesized that middle ear condition would correlate with postoperative pain […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Qi, Xin MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: November 02, 2022 BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to explore whether ice slush (IS) causing local hypothermia can effectively inhibit the oculocardiac reflex (OCR) during strabismus surgery. METHODS: This prospective, randomized, double-blind study included 58 patients with concomitant strabismus scheduled for lateral rectus (LR) recession […]
Read MoreAuthor: Robby Berman MedicalNewsToday This is important since many states have legalized smoking cannabis An observational study found associations between methamphetamine, cocaine, opiates, and cannabis use and atrial fibrillation (AFib). Compared to non-users, the researchers’ analysis shows that the substances were individually associated with an increased risk of developing AFib after adjusting for cardiovascular risk […]
Read MoreAuthor: Beth Sissons MedicalNewsToday An epidural steroid injection is a nonsurgical procedure that provides pain relief. A doctor will inject steroids into the epidural space to reduce inflammation due to certain spinal conditions. An epidural steroid injection (ESI) delivers steroids directly into the epidural space around the spinal cord. They may help reduce inflammation and relieve pain […]
