Read MoreAUTHORS: Schiavo, Michele PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 140(5):p 1236-1238, May 2025. Closed-loop control of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) uses computer-based systems to autonomously regulate propofol infusion based on a quantitative indicator of depth of hypnosis (DoH), thereby maintaining the desired clinical effect and reducing anesthesiologist workload.1 However, due to the lack of a reliable […]

Read MoreAuthors: Strupp, Kim M. MD, FAAP et al Anesthesiology April 14, 2025. Background: Anesthesiologists manage life-threatening, critical events in a fast-paced, high-distraction atmosphere, with little time to deliberate about treatment options. The Society for Pediatric Anesthesia developed the Pedi Crisis 2.0 Mobile Application to assist in managing critical pediatric perioperative events. We hypothesized that the […]
Read MoreAuthors: Zeng, Jiafa Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology April 21, 2025. Background: Propofol is a widely used anesthetic for total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). Though generally safe, rare but serious complications can occur in vulnerable groups, such as critically ill patients and children. Clinicians often rely on surrogate measures (e.g., predicted effect‐site concentrations or bispectral index), yet […]

BACKGROUND: Corticosteroid receptors, including mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) and glucocorticoid receptor (GR), play important roles in inflammatory pain in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG). Although it is widely known that activating the GR reduces inflammatory pain, it has recently been shown that MR […]
