The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate whether preoperative airway ultrasound can predict difficult direct laryngoscopy […]
Read MoreAuthor: Cardiac Anesthesiologist Interventions to improve glycemic control are known to improve outcomes. Multiple randomized clinical trials with diverse patient cohorts support intensive perioperative glucose control. Preoperative carbohydrate loading has resulted in reduced glucose levels after abdominal surgery and Cardiac Surgery (CS). Epidural analgesia during CS has been shown to reduce hyperglycemia incidence. After CS, hyperglycemia morbidity is […]

Patients remain hypercoagulable after CS, increasing vascular thrombotic event risk. All patients benefit from mechanical thromboprophylaxis achieved with compression stockings and/or intermittent pneumatic compression during hospitalization or until they are adequately mobile […]
