Variability of Automated Intraoperative ST Segment Values Predicts Postoperative Troponin Elevation

Anesthesia & Analgesia: March 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 3 – p 608–615 AUTHORS: Maile, Michael D. MD, MS et al BACKGROUND: Intraoperative electrocardiographic monitoring is considered a standard of care. However, there are no evidence-based algorithms for using intraoperative ST segment data to identify patients at high risk for adverse perioperative cardiac events. […]

First-Attempt Intubation Success of Video Laryngoscopy in Patients with Anticipated Difficult Direct Laryngoscopy: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the C-MAC D-Blade Versus the GlideScope in a Mixed Provider and Diverse Patient Population

Anesthesia & Analgesia: March 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 3 – p 740–750 AUTHORS: Aziz, Michael F. MD et al BACKGROUND: Intubation success in patients with predicted difficult airways is improved by video laryngoscopy. In particular, acute-angle video laryngoscopes are now frequently chosen for endotracheal intubation in these patients. However, there is no evidence […]

Saline Flush After Rocuronium Bolus Reduces Onset Time and Prolongs Duration of Effect: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Anesthesia & Analgesia: March 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 3 – p 706–711 AUTHORS: Ishigaki, Sayaka MD et al BACKGROUND: Circulatory factors modify the onset time of neuromuscular-blocking drugs. Therefore, we hypothesized that infusion of a saline flush immediately after rocuronium administration would shorten the onset time without influencing the duration of the rocuronium […]

Risk Factors Involved in Central-to-Radial Arterial Pressure Gradient During Cardiac Surgery

Anesthesia & Analgesia: March 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 3 – p 624–632 AUTHORS: Fuda, Giuseppe MD et al BACKGROUND: A central-to-radial arterial pressure gradient may occur after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which, in some patients, may last for a prolonged time after CPB. Whenever there is a pressure gradient, the radial artery pressure measure […]

Active Warming Utilizing Combined IV Fluid and Forced-Air Warming Decreases Hypothermia and Improves Maternal Comfort During Cesarean Delivery: A Randomized Control Trial

Anesthesia & Analgesia: February 18, 2016 AUTHORS: Cobb, Benjamin MD et al BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to apply both IV fluid and forced-air warming to decrease perioperative hypothermia in women undergoing cesarean delivery with spinal anesthesia. The authors hypothesize that combined-modality active warming (AW) would increase maternal temperature on arrival at the […]
