A Dose-Finding Study of Sugammadex for Reversal of Rocuronium in Cardiac Surgery Patients and Postoperative Monitoring for Recurrent Paralysis 2023

Authors: Andrew Bowdle, MD, PhD, FASE et al Anesthesiology April 2023. Background The dose of sugammadex recommended by the manufacturer for reversal of rocuronium is 2 mg/kg when the train-of-four count is 2 or more and 4 mg/kg when it is less than 2 but there is a post-tetanic count of at least 1. The purpose of […]

TREK-1 and TREK-2 knockout mice are not resistant to halothane or isoflurane 2023

Authors: Kira A Spencer, Ph.D. et al  Anesthesiology Newly Published on April 2023. Background. A variety of molecular targets for volatile anesthetics have been suggested including the anesthetic-sensitive K+ leak channel, TREK-1. Knockout of TREK-1 is reported to render mice resistant to volatile anesthetics, making TREK-1 channels compelling targets for anesthetic action. Spinal cord slices from mice, […]

Measures of information content during anesthesia and emergence in the C. elegans nervous system 2023

Authors: Andrew S Chang, MS et al  Anesthesiology April 2023. Background Suppression of behavioral and physical responses defines the anesthetized state. This is accompanied, in humans, by characteristic changes in EEG patterns. However, these measures reveal little about the neuron or circuit-level physiological action of anesthetics, nor how information is trafficked between neurons. We assess […]
