Validation of Continuous Noninvasive Blood Pressure Monitoring Using Error Grid Analysis

AUTHORS: Juri, Takashi MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2022 Export BACKGROUND: Error grid analysis was recently proposed to compare blood pressure obtained by 2 measurement methods. This study aimed to compare continuous noninvasive blood pressure (CNBP) with invasive blood pressure (IBP) using the error grid analysis and investigate the confounding risk factors attributable to […]

Maternal Fever Associated With Continuous Spinal Versus Epidural Labor Analgesia

AUTHORS: Seiler, F. Arran MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2022 BACKGROUND: Neuraxial labor analgesia is associated with elevations in maternal temperature; the mechanism responsible is unknown. Proposed mechanisms have included infection, altered thermoregulation, and inflammation, potentially triggered by local anesthetics. Studies of the association between neuraxial labor analgesia and maternal fever have focused on […]

Nalbuphine for spinal anesthesia

DG Journal Club AUTHORS: Pan Yu, Jie Zhang et al. Pain Pract. 2022 Jan; 22(1): 91-106 PURPOSE Various adjuvants for prolongation of intra-operative and postoperative analgesia have been clinically studied, but the safety and efficiency of nalbuphine as an adjuvant to local anesthetics in spinal anesthesia remains unconfirmed. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis about the […]

A Comparison Between the Adductor Pollicis Muscle Using TOF-Watch SX and the Abductor Digiti Minimi Muscle Using TetraGraph in Rocuronium-Induced Neuromuscular Block

AUTHORS: Iwasaki, Hajime MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2022 BACKGROUND: The commonly used acceleromyography (AMG)-based neuromuscular monitor TOF-Watch SX is no longer manufactured. Recently, a new portable electromyography (EMG)-based neuromuscular monitor TetraGraph was introduced in clinical anesthesia. The aim of the study was to compare the responses obtained simultaneously from the abductor digiti […]

Sphenopalatine ganglion block for ipsilateral shoulder pain following open pancreaticoduodenectomy

DG Journal Club AUTHORS: Danielle Levin, Martin Acquadro et al. BMJ Case Rep. 2022 Jan 6; 15(1) A 59-year-old woman underwent an open pancreaticoduodenectomy. Thoracic patient controlled-epidural anaesthesia provided excellent incisional pain relief; however, the patient experienced intractable left shoulder pain (10/10 on the Numerical Rating Scale). To our knowledge, there is no effective established […]
