Injection of local anesthetic into part of the trigeminal nerve under fluoroscopic guidance is being used to treat migraine and other headaches. A new study showed that numbing the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) with the aid of fluoroscopy improved headache pain by about a third, said lead researcher Kenneth Mandato, MD, assistant professor, Interventional Radiology, Albany […]
Read MoreNurses in the operating room will soon be able to access best practices with a simple tap on a tablet, using new technology to replace what has been for many an inefficient system of monitoring guidelines with paper and pencil. “You can imagine what it would be like to monitor 12, 15 cases a day, […]
Read MoreI thought this was very interesting so I wanted to share it with our readers. By Karen Sibert, MD American anesthesiology reached a significant milestone last year, though many of us probably missed it at the time. In February, 2014, the number of nurse anesthetists in the United States for the first time exceeded the […]
Read MoreDespite technological advances that have substantially improved the safety of gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy in recent years, the risk for fatal gas embolism from insufflating gas—although extremely rare—is still present. In fact, a study by a University of Florida, Gainesville, research team has concluded that when the flush button is depressed on a popular manufacturer’s endoscope, […]
Read MoreGeneral anesthetics, despite differences among them at the molecular level, modulate ligand-gated ion channels in a highly generalized fashion. A coarse-grained simulation model of this behavior now offers valuable insights into common molecular mechanisms of anesthetic action. Joshua Mincer, MD, PhD, assistant professor, and Thomas T. Joseph, MD, PhD, CA-2 resident and an Eliasberg Research […]
