Authors: Markus Zadrazil, M.D. et al Anesthesiology July 2024, Vol. 141, 24–31. Background Little is known about the pharmacodynamic characteristics of liposomal bupivacaine. Hypothesizing that they would not identify pharmacodynamic differences from plain bupivacaine during the initial period after administration, but would find better long-term pharmacodynamic characteristics, the authors designed a randomized, controlled, triple-blinded, single-center study […]

Anesthesiology July 2024, Vol. 141, 4–6. “Vital sign data artifacts not only are a problem for retrospective observational research but also pose a threat to the accuracy of automated quality measures and pragmatic prospective clinical trial results.” An essential skill of an experienced anesthesiologist is to quickly determine when a […]
Read MoreAuthors: Jakob Wittenstein, M.D. et al Anesthesiology July 2024, Vol. 141, 44–55. Background During one-lung ventilation (OLV), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can improve lung aeration but might overdistend lung units and increase intrapulmonary shunt. The authors hypothesized that higher PEEP shifts pulmonary perfusion from the ventilated to the nonventilated lung, resulting in a U-shaped relationship with […]

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) […]
Read MoreAuthors: Myles Hardeman, M.D. et al Anesthesiology June 2024. To the Editor: We read the study titled “Evidence-based Perioperative Practice Utilization among Various Racial Populations—A Retrospective Cohort Trending Analysis of Lower Extremity Total Joint Arthroplasty Patients.” It included 3.4 million lower extremity arthroplasty patients from 2006 to 2021. The authors used these data to determine […]

First, the authors suggested that inadequate “fidelity” of evidence-based perioperative practice may partially explain persistent Black-White disparities observed in our study, i.e., a definition of evidence-based perioperative practice […]

Here are 10 key notes on why CRNA compensation is rising, according to the VMG Health article: 1. Although CRNA level of autonomy varies by market, the […]
Read MoreAuthors: Alexandre Mansour, M.D., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology June 2024, Vol. 140, 1153–1164. Background Unfractionated heparin, administered during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to prevent thromboembolic events, largely depends on plasma antithrombin for its antithrombotic effects. Decreased heparin responsiveness seems frequent on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; however, its association with acquired antithrombin deficiency is poorly understood. The objective […]
