Author: Shakibai N et al Cureus 16(7): e65520. Abstract Atrial-esophageal fistulas are rare and potentially fatal complications that can occur from radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Due to the proximity of the right atrium to the esophagus, thermal injuries can involuntarily lead to connections between the heart and esophagus. In this case […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Joshua A. Nicholas, MD et al Anesthesiology August 2024. BACKGROUND Bleeding during cardiac surgery may be refractory to standard interventions. Off-label use of Factor Eight Inhibitor Bypass Activity (FEIBA) has been described to treat such bleeding. However, reports of safety, particularly thromboembolic outcomes, show mixed results and reported cohorts have been small. METHODS Adult […]
Read MoreAuthors: Yamamura K et al Cureus 16(8): e67394. Abstract The challenge in bimaxillary surgery lies in significant intraoperative bleeding, prompting various strategies to minimize blood loss. Among the methods considered for controlling intraoperative bleeding, hypotensive anesthesia and the use of piezosurgical instruments (Osada, Tokyo, Japan) have been explored. However, hypotensive anesthesia may have adverse effects […]
Read MoreAuthors: Radhika Chalasani, MD, MS et al ASA Monitor September 2024, Vol. 88, 1–5. The inexorable rise in health care costs has brought ever-greater emphasis on cost reduction in all aspects, including anesthesia care. Intraoperative anesthesia-related expenditures comprise upward of 6% of the total hospital cost for an inpatient procedure (Curr Opin Anaesthesiol 2012;25:221-5). We describe efforts […]
Read MoreAuthor: Claire Wallace Becker’s ASC Review Project Spruce, a consortium of nine pediatric hospitals, has successfully cut greenhouse gas emissions from inhaled anesthetics by over 50% across its nine partners. The consortium aims to improve anesthesia protocols, increase knowledge of the environmental impact of anesthesia and provide data-driven feedback, according to a Sept. 19 press release. Across […]
