AUTHORS: Xiao, Fei MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia April 03, 2023. BACKGROUND: The dural puncture epidural (DPE) and the programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) techniques are recent innovations for labor analgesia. The optimal volume of PIEB during traditional epidural analgesia has been investigated previously but it is unknown whether these findings are applicable to […]

BACKGROUND: Increased burnout and decreased professional fulfillment among intensive care physicians is partly due to intensive care unit (ICU) workload. Although the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic increased ICU workload, it also may have increased feelings of personal fulfillment due to positive public […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Li, Xiaoyun MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia April 03, 2023. BACKGROUND: We aimed to determine the preventive and therapeutic efficacy of modified manual chest compression (MMCC), a novel noninvasive and device-independent method, in reducing oxygen desaturation events in patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy under deep sedation. METHODS: A total of 584 outpatients who […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Aceto, Paola et al European Journal of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care 2(2):p e0019, April 2023. Abstract Steep and reverse Trendelenburg positions are often used in robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) to improve surgical access. The elderly are particularly vulnerable to the cardiovascular effect of the combination of pneumoperitoneum and these extreme positions. Falls in both cardiac output […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Mahajan, Aman MD, PhD, MBA et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 623-626, April 2023. Perioperative medicine continues to evolve as a field focused on improving outcomes for patients undergoing surgery. While some progress has recently been made, substantial opportunity still exists in understanding and implementing the changes needed to reduce postoperative morbidity and improve quality […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: O’Brien, Elizabeth M. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia April 03, 2023. BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurocognitive disorder characterized by impairments in communication and socialization. There are little data comparing the differences in perioperative outcomes in children with and without ASD. We hypothesized that children with ASD would have higher postoperative […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Deljou, Atousa MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(6):p 1154-1163, June 2023. BACKGROUND: Residual deep sedation during anesthesia recovery may predict postoperative complications. We examined the incidence and risk factors for deep sedation after general anesthesia. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed health records of adults who underwent procedures with general anesthesia and were admitted to the […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Böck, Carl et al European Journal of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care 2(2):p e0020, April 2023. BACKGROUND In anaesthesiology, time domain parameters of the ECG are frequently used for long QT diagnosis, determination of branch blocks and for identifying atrioventricular blocks. However, this analysis depends on several factors and therefore the time domain parameters are prone […]

AUTHORS: Gilmar Reis, M.D., Ph.D. et al N Engl J Med 2023; 388:518-528 February 9, 2023 BACKGROUND The efficacy of a single dose of pegylated interferon lambda in preventing clinical events among outpatients with acute symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is unclear. METHODS We conducted a […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Old, Oliver et al European Journal of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care 2(1):p e0014, February 2023. Abstract The idea of implementing artificial intelligence in medicine is as old as artificial intelligence itself. So far, technical difficulties have prevented the integration of artificial intelligence in day-to-day healthcare. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a substantial amount […]
