Tracking Intraoperative Hypotension: A Measure for Payment and Improvement Purposes

Authors: Matthew T. Popovich, PhD et al  ASA Monitor January 2024, Vol. 88, 28–29. Although anesthesiologists have always paid attention to blood pressure and its effects on both immediate and postoperative patient outcomes, only recently have anesthesiologists had better definitions and criteria to assess management of a patient’s blood pressure. The question for anesthesiologists and their […]

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 December 2023. Background Carriers of mutations in the mitochondrial electron transport chain (mETC) are at increased risk of anesthetic-induced neurotoxicity. To investigate the neurotoxicity mechanism and to test preconditioning as a protective strategy, we used a Drosophila melanogaster model of Leigh syndrome. Model flies carried a mutation in ND23 (ND2360114) that encodes […]
