Fluid Management Strategy for Thoracic Surgery: The optimal range of fluid administration in patients undergoing lung resection surgery has been a controversial topic in anesthesia. There are hazards at both ends of the spectrum: Liberal over-hydration can lead to fluid-induced lung injury, while conservative fluid-management strategies have a risk for organ ischemia. According to a […]

Read MoreBecause traumatically injured patients with early-onset ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) are more likely to be sensitive to narrow-spectrum antibiotics than those with late VAP, empirical treatment of early VAP with narrow-spectrum antibiotics is a reasonable choice, a study has found. The results also concluded that broad-spectrum antibiotics should continue to be standard empirical therapy for late […]
Read MoreTransfusion of higher ratios of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) platelets to red blood cells (RBC) may be associated with decreased mortality in cardiac surgery patients with massive intraoperative hemorrhage, a study has found. According to the researchers, the results point to optimal management that includes aggressive, early hemostatic resuscitation followed by aggressive volume removal. “When […]
