Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are relatively ineffective for treating back pain, a new study suggests. Researchers from the George Institute for Global Health, in Australia, analyzed data from 35 randomized, placebo-controlled trials to determine the efficacy and safety of NSAIDs for spinal pain. The trials included more than 6,000 patients, and researchers found that only […]

MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: March 23, 2017 BACKGROUND: In the perioperative period, anesthesiologists and postanesthesia care unit (PACU) nurses routinely prepare and administer small-volume IV injections, yet the accuracy of delivered medication volumes in this setting has not been described. In this ex vivo study, we sought to characterize […]
Read MoreSecondary hyperalgesia occurs in the areas around the injured site because of nociceptor activation in the central nervous system. In a new study reported in Pain, scientists from the Université Catholique de Louvain in Brussels, Belgium, found evidence that the effects of central sensitization extend beyond nociceptive pathways to other sensory modalities.1 Along with the primary […]
Read MoreGiven the importance of correct positioning of the double-lumen endotracheal tube in one-lung ventilation, the results of a Taiwanese study may have significant implications for patients undergoing the procedure. Researchers there found that use of a wireless, malleable video stylet results in a greater first-time success rate and decreased intubation times than the traditional method […]
Read MoreA study from Japan has found that operating rooms using radiant air conditioning systems (RAS) provide greater comfort for patients than traditional convection systems. Maintaining a consistent room temperature is an important component of a comfortable operating room (OR) environment. A popular approach to cooling the OR uses a convection air conditioning system (CAS). CAS […]
