Monitoring Obstetric Anesthesia Safety across Hospitals through Multilevel Modeling

Published in Anesthesiology on 03 2015 Authors: Jean Guglielminotti, M.D., Ph.D. Background: The rate of anesthesia-related adverse events (ARAEs) is recommended for monitoring patient safety across hospitals. To ensure comparability, it is adjusted for patients’ characteristics with logistic models (i.e., risk adjustment). The rate adjusted for patient-level characteristics and hospital affiliation through multilevel modeling is suggested as […]

Corneal Abrasion in Hysterectomy and Prostatectomy: Role of Laparoscopic and Robotic Assistance

Published in Anesthesiology in 03 2015. Authors: Ajay Sampat, M.D. et al Background: Radical prostatectomy (RP) is most commonly performed laparoscopically with a robot (robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, R/PROST). Hysterectomy, which may be open hysterectomy (O/HYST) or laparoscopic hysterectomy (L/HYST), has been increasingly frequently done via robot (R/HYST). Small case series suggest increased corneal abrasions (CAs) with less invasive […]

Syntaxin1A-mediated Resistance and Hypersensitivity to Isoflurane in Drosophila melanogaster

Published in Anesthesiology in 03 2015 Authors: Oressia H. Zalucki, B.Sc., B.A. et al Background: Recent evidence suggests that general anesthetics activate endogenous sleep pathways, yet this mechanism cannot explain the entirety of general anesthesia. General anesthetics could disrupt synaptic release processes, as previous work inCaenorhabditis elegans and in vitro cell preparations suggested a role for the soluble NSF attachment […]

Predictors of Clinically Significant Postoperative Events after Open Craniosynostosis Surgery

Authors: Susan M. Goobie, M.D., F.R.C.P.C. et al Published in Anesthesiology 2 2015. Background: Craniosynostosis surgery is associated with clinically significant postoperative events requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The authors investigate specific variables, which might influence the risk for these events, and thereby make recommendations regarding the need for postoperative ICU admission. Methods: A retrospective review of […]

Genetic and Clinical Factors Associated with Chronic Postsurgical Pain after Hernia Repair, Hysterectomy, and Thoracotomy: A Two-year Multicenter Cohort Study

Published in Anesthesiology 2 2015. Authors: Antonio Montes, M.D., Ph.D. et al Background: Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) has been linked to many surgical settings. The authors aimed to analyze functional genetic polymorphisms and clinical factors that might identify CPSP risk after inguinal hernia repair, hysterectomy, and thoracotomy. Methods: This prospective multicenter cohort study enrolled 2,929 patients scheduled for […]
