Canadian Journal of Anesthesia “Identification of factors associated with intraoperative hypoglycemia may prevent potentially devastating neurologic effects in a child whose symptoms may be masked under anesthesia”
Read MoreAuthors: Marcos G. Lopez, M.D., M.S. et al Anesthesiology 3 2020, Vol.132, 551-561. Background: Mechanisms of postoperative delirium remain poorly understood, limiting development of effective treatments. We tested the hypothesis that intraoperative oxidative damage is associated with delirium and neuronal injury and that disruption of the blood–brain barrier modifies these associations. Methods: In a prespecified cohort study of […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Lianxiang Jiang et al BMC Anesthesiology volume 19, Article number: 200 (2019) Background Previous studies have demonstrated that the common laryngoscopic approach (right-sided) and midline approach are both used for endotracheal intubation by direct laryngoscopy. Although the midline approach is commonly recommended for video laryngoscopy (VL) in the clinic, there is a lack of published evidences to support this […]

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the administration of ketamine during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery leads to a reduction in the quantity of opioids required over the first 48 hours after surgery. DESIGN: Randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial. SETTING: Single university academic center. PARTICIPANTS: Patients […]
Read MoreAuthor: Michael Vlessides Anesthesiology News Researchers have confirmed a series of independent patient-, procedure- and anesthesia-related predictors of prolonged extubation after general anesthesia. The study also showed that patients who experience prolonged extubation are at significantly greater risk for immediate reintubation. Andrea Vannucci, MD, and his colleagues at the University of Mississippi Medical Center and […]
