The Relationship Between Oxygen Reserve Index and Arterial Partial Pressure of Oxygen During Surgery.

Anesthesia & Analgesia:Post Author Corrections: March 22, 2016 AUTHORS: Applegate, Richard L. II MD et BACKGROUND: The use of intraoperative pulse oximetry (SpO2) enhances hypoxia detection and is associated with fewer perioperative hypoxic events. However, SpO2 may be reported as 98% when arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) is as low as 70 mm Hg. […]

The Risk of Falls After Total Knee Arthroplasty with the Use of a Femoral Nerve Block Versus an Adductor Canal Block: A Double-Blinded Randomized Controlled Study

Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 5 – p 1696–1703 AUTHORS: Elkassabany, Nabil M. MD, MSCE et al BACKGROUND: Adductor canal block (ACB) has emerged as an appealing alternative to femoral nerve block (FNB) that produces a predominantly sensory nerve block by anesthetizing the saphenous nerve. Studies have shown greater quadriceps […]

Low-Fidelity Haptic Simulation Versus Mental Imagery Training for Epidural Anesthesia Technical Achievement in Novice Anesthesiology Residents: A Randomized Comparative Study

Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 5 – p 1516–1523 AUTHORS: Lim, Grace MD et al BACKGROUND: There are many teaching methods for epidural anesthesia skill acquisition. Previous work suggests that there is no difference in skill acquisition whether novice learners engage in low-fidelity (LF) versus high-fidelity haptic simulation for epidural […]
