Cardiac Anesthesiologist Blog Introduction: Why the “NPO” Rule is No Longer Enough While the traditional “6 hours for solids, 2 hours for clear liquids” (NPO — nil per os) remains the gold standard, it often fails in the realities of the ICU and emergency surgery. Gastroparesis in diabetes, critical illness, opioid analgesia, or severe stress significantly slow […]

Legislators and physician associations are pushing back, but several policies have taken effect regardless. Here are three […]
Read MoreCardiac Anesthesiologist Blog Introduction Evaluating left ventricular (LV) systolic function is a cornerstone of hemodynamic monitoring in perioperative care and the ICU. While qualitative “eyeballing” is valuable for rapid assessment, quantitative measurements provide the objectivity needed for clinical decision-making and longitudinal tracking of a patient’s status. This article explores the primary quantitative methods used to […]
Read MoreRadius Anesthesia Electroencephalography (EEG) remains the most direct bedside signal of cerebral function available to anesthesiologists and is central to some depth-of-anesthesia monitoring, delirium risk stratification, and tailored dosing strategies. Recent advances in signal processing and machine learning have already improved the sensitivity and robustness of depth-of-anesthesia estimators, but persistent challenges—high dimensionality, nonstationary noise, small […]
Read MoreCollaborative Anesthesia Partners Blog When a pregnant patient needs surgery, anesthesiologists face one of medicine’s most delicate balancing acts. Every choice, from airway management to drug selection, must protect both mother and baby. Managing anesthesia in these cases requires not only clinical skill, but also empathy, teamwork and meticulous attention to detail. Understanding the challenges […]
