Modified Thermodilution for Simultaneous Cardiac Output and Recirculation Assessment in Veno-venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Autors: David Berger, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology May 2024, Vol. 140, 1002–1015. Background Thermodilution is unreliable in veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). Systemic oxygenation depends on recirculation fractions and ratios of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) flow to cardiac output. In a prospective in vitro simulation, this study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of a modified thermodilution technique for recirculation […]

State-related Electroencephalography Microstate Complexity during Propofol- and Esketamine-induced Unconsciousness

Authors: Zhenhu Liang, Ph.D. et al  Anesthesiology May 2024, Vol. 140, 935–949. Background Identifying the state-related “neural correlates of consciousness” for anesthetics-induced unconsciousness is challenging. Spatiotemporal complexity is a promising tool for investigating consciousness. The authors hypothesized that spatiotemporal complexity may serve as a state-related but not drug-related electroencephalography (EEG) indicator during an unconscious state induced […]

Nerve injury triggers time-dependent activation of the locus coeruleus, influencing spontaneous pain-like behavior in rats

Authors: Irene Suárez-Pereira, Ph.D. et al  Anesthesiology April 2024. Background Dynamic changes in neuronal activity and in noradrenergic locus coeruleus (LC) projections have been proposed during the transition from acute to chronic pain. Thus, we explored the cellular cFos activity of the LC and its projections, in conjunction with spontaneous pain-like behavior in neuropathic rats. […]

Science, Medicine, and the Anesthesiologist

Anesthesiology May 2024, Vol. 140, A13–A15. An electroencephalographic signature predicts craving for methamphetamine. Cell Rep Med 2024; 5:101347. PMID: 38151021. Article Selection: Jamie Sleigh, M.D. Image: Adobe Stock. The subjective drug craving is the core driver of methamphetamine use disorder and its relapse rate. There are no reliable biomarkers of this, but it is possible that […]
