Authors: Hongye Zhang, MD et al Anesthesiology July 2024. Background A brachial plexus block plays an important role in providing perioperative analgesia for shoulder surgery; however, the inherent risk of phrenic nerve block and resulting hemidiaphragmatic paralysis may limit its use in patients with compromised pulmonary function. This study aimed to evaluate safety, efficacy, the […]

Background The accuracy and precision of currently available, widely used acceleromyograph and electromyograph neuromuscular blockade monitors have not been well studied. In addition, the normalization of the train-of-four ratio from acceleromyography (train-of-four ratio [T4/T1] divided by the baseline train-of-four ratio) has not been validated […]

Read MoreAuthors: Steven L. Shafer, M.D. et al Anesthesiology August 2024, Vol. 141, 250–261. Background Nonopioid management of postsurgical pain remains a major unmet need. Few studies have evaluated transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily member 1 agonists for analgesia after surgery. This study examines intraoperative vocacapsaicin, a novel prodrug of the transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily member […]
