AUTHORS: Bryan, Yvon F. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: June 2019 – Volume 128 – Issue 6 – p 1256-1263 BACKGROUND: In patients who undergo surgery for oropharyngeal masses, intubation is almost always successful. However, technical aspects of airway management, including bag mask ventilation and oxygenation, may still be difficult. Although rates of airway difficulty […]

While decreases in global strain have been used to predict outcomes after cardiac surgery, […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Davies, Simon James MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: March 2019 BACKGROUND: Intraoperative hypotension is associated with worse perioperative outcomes for patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery. The Hypotension Prediction Index is a unitless number that is derived from an arterial pressure waveform trace, and as the number increases, the risk of hypotension occurring in […]

Postoperative opioid overprescribing is problematic, yet many patients report inadequate pain relief. In major inpatient surgery, intraoperative single-dose methadone produces better analgesia and reduces opioid use […]
Read MoreAUTHOR: Drummond, John C. MD Anesthesia & Analgesia: April 2019 – Volume 128 – Issue 4 – p 759-771 There are occasionally intraoperative circumstances in which reduction of mean arterial pressure (MAP) to levels well below those that occur in nonanesthetized adults is necessary or unavoidable. In these situations, clinicians are inevitably concerned about the limits […]
