AUTHORS: Dominguez, Jennifer E. MD, MHS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(2):p 205-214, February 2023. BACKGROUND: Previous studies of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk in gravidas with chronic hypertension (cHTN) did not control for obesity as a risk factor for OSA. We therefore performed this study to evaluate whether OSA is more prevalent among gravidas with […]
Read MoreAuthors: Zhang, Tracy MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia November 09, 2022. Background: Intraoperative arterial hypotension (IOH) is a common side effect of general anesthesia (GA), associated with poor outcomes in ischemic stroke. While IOH is more prevalent with hypertension, it is unknown whether IOH may differ when GA is induced during ischemic stroke, versus […]
Read MoreAuthors: Qiuru Wang, M.D. et al Anesthesiology January 2023. To the Editor: We read with great interest the article by Felipe Muñoz-Leyva et al. entitled “No Benefits of Adding Dexmedetomidine, Ketamine, Dexamethasone, and Nerve Blocks to an Established Multimodal Analgesic Regimen after Total Knee Arthroplasty” published in the July 2022 issue of Anesthesiology. We appreciate the authors’ great […]
Read MoreAuthor: Dan Cole, MD Anesthesia Patent Safety Foundations Volume 38, No. 1 • February 2023 I don’t need to tell anyone reading this article that it has been quite a year in health care. With an environment defined by political polarization and its intersection with COVID, health and health care disparities, tenuous health care economics, burnout, […]

BACKGROUND: Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a distressing complaint in adults after endotracheal intubation. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of topical application of a eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (EMLA) cream over the endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff on the incidence and […]

Szokol, MD, JD, MBA Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation Volume 38, No. 1 • February 2023 INTRODUCTION In the second half of the last century, dopamine D2-receptor antagonists were a mainstay of the management of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV).1 However, at the start of the 21st century, they sharply declined in […]
Read MoreAuthors: Simone Gattarello, M.D., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology March 2023, Vol. 138, 289–298. Background Under the hypothesis that mechanical power ratio could identify the spontaneously breathing patients with a higher risk of respiratory failure, this study assessed lung mechanics in nonintubated patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, aiming to (1) describe their characteristics; (2) compare lung mechanics between […]
Read MoreAuthors: Kimberly Howard-Quijano, M.D., M.S. et al Anesthesiology January 2023. Background Neuraxial modulation, including spinal cord stimulation, reduces cardiac sympathoexcitation and ventricular arrhythmogenesis. There is an incomplete understanding of the molecular mechanisms through which spinal cord stimulation modulates cardiospinal neural pathways. We hypothesize that spinal cord stimulation reduces myocardial ischemia/reperfusion induced sympathetic excitation and ventricular […]
Read MoreAuthor: Avery Hurt Practical Pain Management Jan 2023 Low back pain is simultaneously one of the most common and vexing pain conditions physicians treat. According to the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of years lived with disability and is a major public health concern […]
