Read MoreResidual neuromuscular block using rocuronium attenuates the acute hypoxic ventilatory response in patients with untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), according to preliminary data from a study presented at Euroanaesthesia 2015, the European Society of Anaesthesiology’s (ESA) annual meeting (abstract 1AP16-4). Historically, of course, OSA has been associated with significant respiratory complications during the postoperative recovery […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: August 2015 – Volume 121 – Issue 2 – p 492–501 Authors: Rozet, Irene MD et al BACKGROUND: The effect of dexmedetomidine on evoked potentials (EPs) has not been elucidated. We aimed to investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on somatosensory, motor, and visual EPs. METHODS: After IRB approval, 40 adult patients scheduled […]

MD et al BACKGROUND: Transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) has emerged as a safe and effective regional anesthesia technique for providing postoperative lower abdominal analgesia. Complications associated with TAPB are rare and pose a lower overall risk […]

Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: August 2015 – Volume 121 – Issue 2 – p 440–448 Authors: Mort, Thomas C. MD et al BACKGROUND: Tracheal tube exchange is a simple concept but not a simple procedure because hypoxemia, esophageal intubation, and loss of airway may occur with life-threatening ramifications. Combining laryngoscopy with an airway exchange catheter (AEC) […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: August 2015 – Volume 121 – Issue 2 – p 430–436 Authors: Moore, Alex MD et al BACKGROUND: The I-gel™ (IG) supraglottic airway device is a reliable way to establish an airway. Its large ventilation lumen allows for easy passage of an endotracheal tube. With the use of a flexible bronchoscope, the […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: August 2015 – Volume 121 – Issue 2 – p 422–429 Authors: Weingarten, Toby N. MD et al BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to identify patient and procedural characteristics associated with postoperative respiratory depression or sedation requiring naloxone intervention. METHODS: We identified patients who received naloxone to reverse opioid-induced respiratory […]
