The number of people dying from an opioid overdose rose nearly 16% from 2014 to 2015, but the increase had little to do — at least directly — with prescription painkillers such as oxycodone or hydrocodone, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported last week. Instead, the chief culprits behind the spike were […]
Read MoreAuthors: Eunsu Kang et al BMC Anesthesiol. 2016;16(116) Background: Dexmedetomidine, a selective alpha-2 agonist, has sedative, analgesic, and anxiolytic effects without respiratory depression. Dexmedetomidine can cause a biphasic cardiovascular response, and induce transient hypertension. Hypotension is a common complication of spinal anesthesia. Decreasing anxiety of patients before procedure is important for high quality of procedure. This study […]

Studies comparing the 2 techniques are scarce, with conflicting results. This double-blind, randomized controlled trial aimed to compare bilateral […]

High-flow oxygen and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation lowered reintubation rates in selected patient populations. During the past few years, interest has grown in using high-flow oxygen (HFO) and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) in lieu of intubation and […]
Read MoreAuthors: Panwar R et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2016 Jan 1. Targeting to 88%–92% did not cause harm. The optimal oxygenation goal for patients who are receiving invasive mechanical ventilation remains unclear. Clinicians usually target resolution of hypoxemia and pay little attention to weaning levels of oxygen once 100% saturation has been achieved. However, harms […]
