Multisensory sensitivity differentiates between multiple chronic pain conditions and pain-free individuals

DG Journal Club AUTHORS: Dan Wang, Laura A Frey-Law Pain. 2022 May 19 ABSTRACT Multisensory sensitivity (MSS) to non-painful stimuli has been identified as a risk factor for the presence of coexisting chronic pain conditions (COPCs). However, it remains unclear whether MSS can differentiate pain phenotypes involving different levels of central sensitivity. Both pain-free and […]

Plasma Volume Expansion and Fluid Kinetics of 20% Albumin During General Anesthesia and Surgery Lasting for More Than 5 Hours

AUTHORS: Gunnström, Michaela MD et al  Anesthesia & Analgesia: June 2022 – Volume 134 – Issue 6 – p 1270-1279 BACKGROUND: Intraoperative administration of crystalloid for plasma volume expansion may be reduced by use of hyperoncotic albumin. However, the degree of plasma volume expansion with administration of 20% albumin is poorly quantitated. We estimated the amount […]

Procedure-Specific Relationships Between Postoperative Troponin T and a Composite of Mortality and Low Cardiac Output Syndrome

AUTHORS: Zhou, Shan MD, PhD et al  Anesthesia & Analgesia: June 2022 – Volume 134 – Issue 6 – p 1260-1269 BACKGROUND:  Myocardial injury after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is defined as troponin concentrations >10 times 99th percentile upper reference limit (URL) according to the Fourth Universal Definition. However, troponin concentrations after non-CABG cardiac surgery […]
