AUTHORS: Valencia, Eleonore MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 738-744, April 2023. BACKGROUND: Although the rate of pediatric postoperative mortality is low, the development and validation of perioperative risk assessment models have allowed for the stratification of those at highest risk, including the Pediatric Risk Assessment (PRAm) score. The clinical application of such tools requires […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Spijkerman, Sandra FCA(SA) et al Anesthesia & Analgesia March 08, 2023. BACKGROUND: Safe anesthesia is imperative for the Global Surgery agenda and Sustainable Development Goal 3.

However, whether ketamine can induce neurotoxicity and neurobehavioral deficits remains largely unknown. Delirium is a syndrome of acute brain dysfunction associated with anesthesia and surgery in patients, and tau protein may contribute to postoperative delirium. Finally, […]

BACKGROUND: In low-middle-income countries (LMICs), perioperative clinical information is almost universally collected on paper health records (PHRs). The lack of accessible digital databases limits LMICs in leveraging data to predict and improve patient outcomes after surgery. In this feasibility study, our aims […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Son, Jongbae MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 719-727, April 2023. BACKGROUND: Pulmonary resection surgery causes severe postoperative pain and usually requires opioid-based analgesia, particularly in the early postoperative period. However, the administration of large amounts of opioids is associated with various adverse events. We hypothesized that patients who underwent pulmonary resection under an […]

Roland Pinkney, MD, the anesthesiologist in the procedure, accompanied Windell Boutte, MD, the procedure’s surgeon, in […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Ruan, Alexandra MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 701-710, April 2023. Background: Night float call systems are becoming increasingly common at training programs with the goal of reducing fatigue related to sleep deprivation and sleep disturbance. Previous studies have shown that trainees obtain less sleep during the night float rotation and have decreased sleep […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Yamamoto, Natsuko MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 772-778, April 2023. BACKGROUND: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction may be associated with neuroinflammation, and sevoflurane suppresses surgery-induced inflammation. We hypothesized that low concentrations of sevoflurane would result in more impaired postoperative cognitive function compared to high concentrations. METHODS: Aged male Sprague–Dawley rats (n = 21, 17–22 months) […]
