Pupillometry-guided Intraoperative Remifentanil Administration versus Standard Practice Influences Opioid Use: A Randomized Study

Authors: Nada Sabourdin, M.D. et al Anesthesiology 8 2017, Vol.127, 284-292. Background: Pupillometry has shown promising results for assessing nociception in anesthetized patients. However, its benefits in clinical practice are not demonstrated. The aim of this prospective randomized study was to evaluate the impact of intraoperative pupillometry monitoring on perioperative opioid consumption in major gynecologic surgery. Methods: After […]

Reversal of Vecuronium-induced Neuromuscular Blockade with Low-dose Sugammadex at Train-of-four Count of Four: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Authors: László Asztalos, M.D. et al Anesthesiology 9 2017, Vol.127, 441-449. Background: Rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block that spontaneously recovered to a train-of-four count of four can be reversed with sugammadex 0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg. We investigated whether these doses of sugammadex can also reverse vecuronium at a similar level of block. Methods: Sixty-five patients were randomly assigned, and 64 were […]

Extubation Success Prediction in a Multicentric Cohort of Patients with Severe Brain Injury

Authors: Karim Asehnoune, M.D., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology 8 2017, Vol.127, 338-346. Background: Patients with brain injury are at high risk of extubation failure. Methods: We conducted a prospective observational cohort study in four intensive care units of three university hospitals. The aim of the study was to create a score that could predict extubation success in patients […]
