Authors: Martin Dworschak, M.D., M.B.A.; Ekaterina Pataraia, M.D., M.B.A. Anesthesiology October 2024, Vol. 141, 808–809. To the Editor: We read with great interest the article by Soehle et al. recently published in this journal. They used three devices employing near-infrared spectroscopy technology (i.e., the INVOS 5100 C and the INVOS 7100 [Medtronic Inc., USA] and the ForeSight Elite […]
Read MoreAuthors: Martin Soehle, M.D., Ph.D., M.H.B.A. et al Anesthesiology October 2024, Vol. 141, 809–811. In Reply: We thank Drs. Dworschak and Pataraia for their interest and thoughtful comments regarding our recent publication on the effect of brain death on regional cerebral oxygenation (rScO2) as determined by near-infrared spectroscopy. Their concerns relate to our statement that brain […]
Read MoreWe are seeking a dedicated anesthesiologist to join our all-anesthesiologist group. Our team will consist of 4 full-time providers and 1 for vacation relief, managing 3 operating rooms. Position Highlights: Zero call for 3 weeks, followed by 1 week of call without daytime work only call after 7 PM therefore you may not work the […]
Read MoreAuthors: Andrew G. Percy, MD et al Anesthesiology August 2024. Background Mechanical power (MP) is a summary variable quantifying the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). The original MP equation was developed using square flow ventilation. However, most children are ventilated using decelerating flow. It is unclear whether MP differs according to mode of flow […]
Read MoreAutors: Lisbeth Evered, BSc, MSc, PhD; Daniel J. Cole, MD, FASA ASA Monitor September 2024, Vol. 88, 1–7. Brain health is increasingly acknowledged as the most common issue with regard to complications associated with anesthesia and surgery in older individuals. It is well known that increasing age and preoperative cognitive impairment are the leading predictors of cognitive […]
Read MoreAuthors: Oskar Kjærgaard Hørsdal, BMSc et al Anesthesiology Newly Published on August 2024. Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) presents a medical challenge with limited treatment options. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during mechanical ventilation has been linked with clinical benefits in patients with CS. We investigated if increasing PEEP levels could unload the left ventricle (LV) in CS […]
Read MoreAuthor: Patsy Newitt Becker’s ASC Review From reimbursement declines to provider shortages, anesthesia leaders are facing new and longstanding challenges. Anesthesia reimbursements are facing a sharp decline. CMS anesthesia reimbursements declined 8.2% from 2019 to 2024 — from $22.27 per unit to $20.44, VMG Health said in a May blog post. Another report from Coronis Health found that […]
Read MoreAuthors: Bushra Yasin, M.D., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology September 2024, Vol. 141, 611–614. To the Editor: Despite nearly five decades of clinical use, a mechanistic description of ketamine’s ability to reliably produce anesthesia for surgery has been elusive. Ketamine is classified as a “dissociative anesthetic” because it produces a markedly distinct anesthetized state compared to other […]

Read MoreAuthors: Benjamin Bergis, M.D., M.Sc. et al Anesthesiology September 2024, Vol. 141, 554–565. Background Hemorrhagic shock (HS) and rhabdomyolysis (RM) are two important risk factors for acute kidney injury after severe trauma; however, the effects of the combination of RM and HS on kidney function are unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the […]
