Anesthesia & Analgesia: March 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 3 – p 698–705 AUTHORS: Kuo, Alexander S. MS, MD et al BACKGROUND: Inhaled induction with spontaneous respiration is a technique used for difficult airways. One of the proposed advantages is if airway patency is lost, the anesthetic agent will spontaneously redistribute until anesthetic depth […]

However, no meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on xenon anesthesia has been conducted. The aim of this study was to systematically review all available evidence from […]

Although the use of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block to minimize postsurgical pain has been demonstrated in neonates, no […]

MD et al BACKGROUND: Prescription errors are among the most common types of iatrogenic errors. Because of a previously reported 82% error rate in handwritten discharge narcotic prescriptions, we developed a computerized, web-based, controlled substance prescription writer […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: March 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 3 – p 753–757 AUTHORS: Turkstra, Timothy P. MD, MEng, FRCPC et al BACKGROUND: The GlideScope videolaryngoscope is an intubating device routinely used by anesthesiologists for tracheal intubation. It is occasionally difficult to advance the endotracheal tube (ETT) into the trachea, despite a good view […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: March 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 3 – p 664–676 AUTHORS: Ahn, Eun Jin MD et al BACKGROUND: Previous randomized controlled trials regarding the effectiveness of perioperative midazolam in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) have produced conflicting results. Consequently, the present systematic review was performed to assess the effect of […]

BS et al BACKGROUND: Stored red blood cells (RBCs) are deficient in 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), but it is unclear how autologous salvaged blood (ASB) compares with stored blood and how rapidly 2,3-DPG levels return to normal after transfusion. […]

MD, MS et al BACKGROUND: Intraoperative electrocardiographic monitoring is considered a standard of care. However, there are no evidence-based algorithms for using intraoperative ST segment data to identify patients at high risk for adverse perioperative cardiac events. […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: March 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 3 – p 740–750 AUTHORS: Aziz, Michael F. MD et al BACKGROUND: Intubation success in patients with predicted difficult airways is improved by video laryngoscopy. In particular, acute-angle video laryngoscopes are now frequently chosen for endotracheal intubation in these patients. However, there is no evidence […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: March 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 3 – p 706–711 AUTHORS: Ishigaki, Sayaka MD et al BACKGROUND: Circulatory factors modify the onset time of neuromuscular-blocking drugs. Therefore, we hypothesized that infusion of a saline flush immediately after rocuronium administration would shorten the onset time without influencing the duration of the rocuronium […]
