AUTHORS: Gong, Selena BhSc et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(2):p 251-261, February 2023. Abstract BACKGROUND: Several frailty screening tools have been shown to predict mortality and complications after surgery. However, these tools were developed for in-person evaluation and cannot be used during virtual assessments before surgery. The FRAIL (fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness, and loss of weight) […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Zhong, John W. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia November 29, 2022. BACKGROUND: The nasopharynx is an easily accessible core-temperature monitoring site, but insufficient or excessive nasopharyngeal probe insertion can underestimate core temperature. Our goal was to estimate optimal nasopharyngeal probe insertion depth as a function of age. METHODS: We enrolled 157 pediatric patients […]

Background: The relationship between cerebral autoregulation and outcomes in pediatric complex mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) is unknown, and explored in this study. Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study of patients aged 0 to 18 years hospitalized with complex mild TBI […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Melvin, Martina T. FCAI et al Anesthesia & Analgesia November 29, 2022. BACKGROUND: The high-fidelity ORSIM (Airway Simulation Ltd) and the low-fidelity wooden-block fiber-optic task trainers allow users to familiarize themselves with the psychomotor skills required to manipulate the fiber-optic scope. METHODS: This single-center study aimed to compare residents’ performance of fiber-optic intubation after […]

Read MoreSmartTots Nov 2, 2022 Abstract Background: Millions of children experienced surgery procedures requiring general anesthesia (GA). Any potential neurodevelopmental risks of pediatric anesthesia can be a serious public health issue. Various animal studies have provided evidence that commonly used GA induced a variety of morphofunctional alterations in the developing brain of juvenile animals. Methods: We conducted a […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Im, Mary MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 135(6):p 1142-1150, December 2022. BACKGROUND: Optimal workload and staffing for obstetric anesthesia services have yet to be determined. We surveyed Society of Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP) Centers of Excellence (COE) for Obstetric Anesthesia Care institutions to evaluate procedure-based obstetric anesthesia workload and facility use. METHODS: After […]
Read MoreAuthors: Liu, Wenjun MD, PhD et al Medicine 101(44):p e31624, November 04, 2022. Background: Safety and efficacy were assessed of different S(+)-ketamine doses combined with propofol administered as anesthesia to common pediatric congenital heart disease (CHD) patients undergoing cardiac interventional surgery to provide reference data as guidance for use in clinical settings. Methods: Sixty CHD children […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Schnetz, Michael P. MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(2):p 194-203, February 2023. BACKGROUND: Intraoperative hypotension (IOH) is strongly linked to organ system injuries and postoperative death. Blood pressure itself is a powerful predictor of IOH; however, it is unclear which pressures carry the lowest risk and may be leveraged to prevent subsequent hypotension. […]
