Authors: Nasir Hussain, M.Sc., M.D. et al Anesthesiology 12 2017, Vol.127, 998-1013. Background: Interscalene block provides optimal shoulder surgery analgesia, but concerns over its associated risks have prompted the search for alternatives. Suprascapular block was recently proposed as an interscalene block alternative, but evidence of its comparative analgesic effect is conflicting. This meta-analysis compares the analgesic effect […]

Background: Ischemic myocardial damage accompanying coronary artery bypass graft surgery remains a clinical challenge. We investigated whether xenon anesthesia could limit myocardial damage in coronary artery bypass graft surgery patients, as has been reported for animal ischemia models. Methods: In 17 university hospitals in France, Germany, […]

Background: Increasing numbers of patients with obstructive lung diseases need anesthesia for surgery. These conditions are associated with pulmonary ventilation/perfusion (VA/Q) mismatch affecting kinetics of volatile anesthetics. Pure shunt might delay uptake of less soluble anesthetic agents but other forms of VA/Q scatter have […]
Read MoreInfants under the age of 1 year, children 13 years and older, paediatric patients with high ASA physical status, and those treated in university hospitals may be at increased risk for longer exposure to general anaesthesia, which appears to affect neurodevelopment, according to results of a retrospective cohort analysis presented at the 2017 Annual Meeting […]
Read MoreOpioid-free anaesthesia is both safe and effective, and dramatically decreases postoperative nausea, according to results of a retrospective review presented October 23 at the 2017 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). Lead author Enrico M. Camporesi, MD, University of South Florida and TEAMHealth Anesthesia, Tampa, Florida and colleagues examined the records of […]
