Prolonged Catheter Use and Infection in Regional Anesthesia: A Retrospective Registry Analysis

Authors: Hagen Bomberg, M.D. et al Anesthesiology 4 2018, Vol.128, 764-773. Background: Prolonged catheter use is controversial because of the risk of catheter-related infection, but the extent to which the risk increases over time remains unknown. We thus assessed the time-dependence of catheter-related infection risk up to 15 days. Methods: Our analysis was based on the German Network […]

Association of Hospital-level Neuraxial Anesthesia Use for Hip Fracture Surgery with Outcomes: A Population-based Cohort Study

Authors: Daniel I. McIsaac, M.D., M.P.H., F.R.C.P.C. et al Anesthesiology 3 2018, Vol.128, 480-491. Background: There is consistent and significant variation in neuraxial anesthesia use for hip fracture surgery across jurisdictions. We measured the association of hospital-level utilization of neuraxial anesthesia, independent of patient-level use, with 30-day survival (primary outcome) and length of stay and costs (secondary […]

Dopamine D2-receptor Antagonist Droperidol Deepens Sevoflurane Anesthesia

Authors: Ryuhei Araki, M.D.et al Anesthesiology 4 2018, Vol.128, 754-763. Background: Although midbrain dopaminergic pathways are known to contribute to arousal and emergence from anesthesia, few reports exist regarding the anesthetic effects of dopamine D2 receptor antagonism in humans. This study examined the effect of the D2 receptor antagonist droperidol on sevoflurane anesthesia by examining α and […]
