Comparative Analysis of the Performance of Electroencephalogram Parameters for Monitoring the Depth of Sedation During Remimazolam Target-Controlled Infusion

AUTHORS: Bae, Myung Il MD et al  Anesthesia & Analgesia December 05, 2023. BACKGROUND: The changes in hypnotic indicators in remimazolam sedation remain unclear. We investigated the correlation of the electroencephalogram (EEG) parameters with the effect-site remimazolam concentration and the depth of sedation in patients receiving a target-controlled infusion of remimazolam. METHODS: This prospective observational […]

Stress Pathways Induced by Volatile Anesthetics and Failure of Preconditioning in a Mitochondrial Complex I Mutant

Authors: Zachariah P. G. Olufs, B.S. et al Anesthesiology March 2024, Vol. 140, 463–482. Background Carriers of mutations in the mitochondrial electron transport chain are at increased risk of anesthetic-induced neurotoxicity. To investigate the neurotoxicity mechanism and to test preconditioning as a protective strategy, this study used a Drosophila melanogaster model of Leigh syndrome. Model flies carried a […]

An Initial Investigation of Diaphragm Neurostimulation in Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Authors: Mélodie Parfait, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology March 2024, Vol. 140, 483–494. Background Lung protective ventilation aims at limiting lung stress and strain. By reducing the amount of pressure transmitted by the ventilator into the lungs, diaphragm neurostimulation offers a promising approach to minimize ventilator-induced lung injury. This study investigates the physiologic effects of diaphragm neurostimulation […]
