Authors: Zhang, Qirui MMed et al Anesthesiology December 27, 2024. Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common complications after gynecological laparoscopic surgery. Pyridoxine has been recommended as a first-line drug to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy; however, its efficacy in preventing PONV remains unclear. Methods: Patients of 18 to 65 years […]
Read MoreAuthors: Ripollés-Melchor, Javier MD et al Anesthesiology January 02, 2025. Background: Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) after major abdominal surgery leads to poor outcomes. The Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) may aid in managing intraoperative hemodynamic instability. This study assessed if HPI-guided therapy reduces moderate-to-severe AKI incidence in moderate-to-high-risk elective abdominal surgery patients. Methods: This multicenter […]
Read MoreAuthors: Zeng, Min M.D., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology 142(1):p 166-175, January 2025. Background: The efficacy of superficial cervical plexus blocks for reducing persistent pain after craniotomies remains unclear. The authors tested the primary hypothesis that preoperative ultrasound-guided superficial cervical plexus blocks reduce persistent pain 3 months after suboccipital craniotomies. Methods: A single-center randomized and blinded parallel-group […]

Read MoreAuthors: Salzmann, Stefan PhD; et al Anesthesiology December 26, 2024. Background: Preoperative anxiety is common and most patients experiencing preoperative anxiety would welcome support to cope with their anxiety. Studies examining the effectiveness of information to reduce anxiety have been inconsistent. In addition, it is unclear whether results reported to be statistically significant are also […]
Read MoreAuthors: Ansari, Jessica R. M.D., M.S. et al Anesthesiology 142(1):p 121-131, January 2025. Background: Few studies have assessed the dose ratio of calcium gluconate to calcium chloride or defined the time course of change in serum ionized calcium concentration after intravenous injection. Methods: In a bioequivalence (dose ratio) trial, parturients undergoing cesarean delivery were randomly assigned […]
Read MoreAuthors: Jain, Pankaj M.D. et al Anesthesiology 142(1):p 98-106, January 2025. Background: Drug shortages are a frequent challenge in current clinical practice. Certain drugs (e.g., protamine) lack alternatives, and inadequate supplies can limit access to services. Conventional protamine dosing uses heparin ratio-based calculations for heparin reversal after cardiopulmonary bypass and may result in excess protamine utilization […]

Read MoreAUTHORS: Ostertag, Julian MSc; Zanner, Robert MD; Schneider, Gerhard MD; Kreuzer, Matthias PhD Anesthesia & Analgesia 140(1):p 136-144, January 2025. BACKGROUND: During the anesthetic-induced loss of responsiveness (LOR), a “paradoxical excitation” with activation of β-frequencies in the electroencephalogram (EEG) can be observed. Thus, spectral parameters—as widely used in commercial anesthesia monitoring devices—may mistakenly indicate that […]
