Anesthesia & Analgesia: March 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 3 – p 893–902 AUTHORS: Nair, Bala G. PhD et al BACKGROUND: Postoperative hyperglycemia has been associated with poor surgical outcome. The effect of intraoperative glucose management on postoperative glucose levels and the optimal glycemic threshold for initiating insulin are currently unknown. METHODS: We performed […]

However, their efficacy […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: March 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 3 – p 608–615 AUTHORS: Maile, Michael D. 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. […]
