The authors highlight four concerns about using the Swallowing, Tongue protrusion, Airway protection reflected by spontaneous and suctioning cough, and Glasgow coma scale Evaluation (STAGE) score to […]
Read MoreAuthors: Bruno M. Ribeiro, P.T. et al Anesthesiology April 2024, Vol. 140, 752–764. Background Lower fractional inspired oxygen tension (Fio2) during general anesthesia can reduce lung atelectasis. The objectives are to evaluate the effect of two Fio2 (0.4 and 1) during low positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ventilation over lung perfusion distribution, volume, and regional ventilation. These variables were […]

Background Propofol is an intravenous anesthetic associated with hypotension, respiratory depression, and injection-site pain. HSK3486 injectable emulsion (ciprofol) is a 2,6-disubstituted phenol derivative with fast onset and quick, stable recovery. Previous studies support HSK3486 as an effective, safe anesthetic with substantially less injection-site […]
Read MoreAuthors: Evans A et al Cureus 15(6): e40197. doi:10.7759/cureus.40197 Introduction Needle insertion and visualisation skills needed for ultrasound (US)-guided procedures can be challenging to acquire. The novel NeedleTrainer device superimposes a digital holographic needle on a real-time US image display without puncturing a surface. The aim of this randomised control study was to compare the […]

Read MoreAuthors: Khan S et al Cureus 15(4): e37642. doi:10.7759/cureus.37642 Abstract Thoracic epidural placement is considered the gold standard for pain management for abdominal or thoracic surgery. It provides analgesia superior to that provided by opioids with a decreased risk of pulmonary complications. Insertion of a thoracic epidural catheter requires the knowledge and expertise of an […]
Read MoreAuthors: Dexter F, Epstein et al Cureus 15(3): e36878. doi:10.7759/cureus.36878 Background Earlier studies have shown that prevention of surgical site infection can achieve net cost savings when targeted to operating rooms with the most surgical site infections. Methodology This retrospective cohort study included all 231,057 anesthetics between May 2017 and June 2022 at a large […]

I am committing plagiarism in this essay. I plan to plagiarize again next week. Last November, I committed plagiarism on a witness stand. It’s amazing I’m not in jail. I’ve accused […]
Read MoreASA Monitor April 2024, Vol. 88, 14. Clearance for catheter for PAD treatment AngioDynamics has received FDA 510(k) clearance for the Auryon XL Catheter, a 225-cm radial access catheter used with the Auryon Atherectomy System to treat peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD affects millions globally, and studies suggest that radial access reduces bleeding and complications compared […]
Read MoreAuthors: Maxime Léger, M.D., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology April 2024, Vol. 140, 679–689. Background Opioid-free anesthesia is increasingly being adopted to reduce opioid consumption, but its impact on early postoperative recovery after major surgery has not been evaluated in comparative trials. The hypothesis was that an opioid-free anesthesia protocol would enhance the early quality of recovery […]
