Read MoreAuthor: Patsy Newitt Becker’s ASC Review As the volume of outpatient procedures continues to rise, anesthesia providers are increasingly practicing in ASCs, environments that demand a different mindset than traditional hospital settings. In hospitals, anesthesia providers often operate in controlled environments with longer procedural timelines and less emphasis on direct patient satisfaction. In contrast, outpatient […]

Background: Several drugs are commonly administered to patients with high body temperature in intensive care units (ICUs). However, previous in vitro studies have investigated only the independent effects of high temperatures or drugs on various cultured cells. We explored the hypothesis that pharmacological treatment with representative […]

Background: Excess function of GABAA receptors that generate a tonic inhibitory conductance contributes to postanesthetic cognitive impairment. Ketamine may have postoperative cognition-sparing properties; however, whether it reduces excess GABAA receptor function is unknown. This study investigated whether ketamine prevents a sustained anesthetic-triggered increase in GABAA receptor function in […]
