Anesthesia & Analgesia: July 2016 – Volume 123 – Issue 1 – p 238–243 AUTHORS: Stein, Taciane MSc et al BACKGROUND: Histamine receptors are known to participate in spinal cord nociceptive transmission, and previous studies have suggested that histaminergic receptors are involved in the analgesic effects of morphine. Herein, we investigated the effect of intrathecal […]

MD et al BACKGROUND: Preexisting cognitive impairment is emerging as a predictor of poor postoperative outcomes in seniors. We hypothesized that preoperative cognitive screening can be performed in a busy preadmission evaluation center and that cognitive impairment […]

MD et al BACKGROUND: There is no comprehensive database of pediatric anesthesiologists, their demographic characteristics, or geographic location in the United States. METHODS: We endeavored to create a comprehensive database of pediatric anesthesiologists by merging individuals identified […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: July 2016 – Volume 123 – Issue 1 – p 175–178 AUTHORS: Yamada, Kumiko MD et al BACKGROUND: To the best of our knowledge, the ropivacaine concentration required for ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block (INB) has not been reported. We designed this study to examine the 50% effective concentration (EC50) of […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: July 2016 – Volume 123 – Issue 1 – p 168–172 AUTHORS: Perlman, Jeffrey MBChB et al An important goal of obstetric anesthesia is to provide for the safety and comfort of the mother as well as to optimize physiologic outcomes for the neonate. Markers of neonatal physiologic outcome include cord umbilical […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: July 2016 – Volume 123 – Issue 1 – p 165–167 AUTHORS: Bernstein, Jeffrey MD et al The obstetric anesthesiologist must consider the risk of spinal–epidural hematoma in patients with thrombocytopenia when choosing to provide neuraxial anesthesia. There are little data exploring this complication in the parturient. In this single-center retrospective study […]
