Background An intraoperative transfer of care from one anesthesia provider to another, or handover, may result in information loss and contribute to adverse patient outcomes. In 2019 the authors undertook a quality improvement effort to increase the use of a structured intraoperative handover […]
Read MoreAuthor: Laura Dyrda Becker’s ASC Review Some ASCs have had their patient volumes and bottom lines affected by the inability to access anesthesia providers. “The continued shortage of anesthesiologists has led to many surgery procedures having to be canceled and/or postponed both in the hospital as well as the ASC setting,” Bruce Feldman, administrator of […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Gao, Yi MS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 138(3):p 579-588, March 2024. BACKGROUND: Aging and preoperative sleep disorders are the main risk factors affecting postoperative cognitive outcomes. However, the pathogenesis of delayed neurocognitive recovery after surgery remains ambiguous, and there is still a lack of potential biomarkers for delayed neurocognitive recovery in older adult patients […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Wang, Yu MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia November 23, 2023. | BACKGROUND: Dysfunction of the blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) contributes to the occurrence and development of neuropathic pain (NP). Previous studies revealed that the activation of cyclophilin A (CypA)-metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) signaling pathway can disrupt the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and aggravate neuroinflammatory […]

BACKGROUND: Retrospective clinical trials of pulse oximeter accuracy report more frequent missed diagnoses of hypoxemia in hospitalized Black patients than White patients, differences that may contribute to racial disparities in health and health care. Retrospective studies have limitations including mistiming of blood […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Laferrière-Langlois, Pascal MD, MS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia December 05, 2023. | BACKGROUND: Classification of perioperative risk is important for patient care, resource allocation, and guiding shared decision-making. Using discriminative features from the electronic health record (EHR), machine-learning algorithms can create digital phenotypes among heterogenous populations, representing distinct patient subpopulations grouped by shared characteristics, […]
