Continuous Titration of Inspired Oxygen Using Oxygen Reserve Index to Decrease Oxygen Exposure During One-Lung Ventilation

AUTHORS: Yang, Mikyung MD, PhD et al  Anesthesia & Analgesia: July 2022 – Volume 135 – Issue 1 – p 91-99 BACKGROUND:  A high fraction of inspired oxygen (Fio2) is administered during one-lung ventilation (OLV). However, a high Fio2 is not physiologic and may lead to various complications. We hypothesized that continuous titration of Fio2 using the oxygen […]

Awake cardiac surgery using the novel pectoralis-intercostal-rectus sheath (PIRS) plane block and subxiphoid approach

DG Journal Club AUTHORS: Toscano Antonio, et al J Card Surg. 2022 Jun 4 BACKGROUND Postoperative pain after cardiac surgery is a very important issue and affects recovery, risk of postoperative complications and quality of life. The pain management has been traditionally based on intravenous opioids with growing evidence suggesting the use of opioid-free and […]
