AUTHORS: Araujo-Duran, Jorge MD Anesthesia & Analgesia 138(4):p 751-759, April 2024. | BACKGROUND: Relaxation and distraction provided by virtual reality presentations might be analgesic and reduce the need for opioid analgesia. We tested the hypothesis that a virtual reality program (AppliedVR) decreases acute postoperative pain and opioid requirements in patients recovering from hip arthroplasty. We also evaluated […]

In Reply: We appreciate the interest from Sarraf et al. in our recent clinical focus review of the drug titration paradox. Although their insights on anesthesiologists’ dosing strategies are appreciated, their control systems’ engineering-based interpretation might overlook the statistical and mathematical underpinnings of the paradox. […]
Read MoreAuthors: Jayakar Guruswamy, MD, FASA et al ASA Monitor June 2024, Vol. 88, 18–19. There have been several innovative approaches employed in anesthesiology education to improve the experiences of learners and teachers over time. Simulation-based mastery learning, flipped classroom offerings, spaced learning, and multimodal approaches to teaching and feedback have helped elevate education within our specialty […]

Background Conflicting evidence exists regarding the risks and benefits of inotropic therapies during cardiac surgery, and the extent of variation in clinical practice remains understudied. Therefore, the authors sought to quantify patient-, anesthesiologist-, and hospital-related contributions to variation in inotrope use. Methods In […]

BACKGROUND: Preoperative anemia is an established risk factor for morbidity and mortality after surgery. Men and women have different hemoglobin concentrations and are at different risks of postoperative complications. However, sex-stratified analysis on the association between preoperative hemoglobin and outcomes after noncardiac surgery […]
