Read MoreFentanyl 50 and 100 mcg is useful in accelerating the onset of labour analgesia without compromising safety, according to a study presented here at the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Anesthesiologists’ Society (CAS). “We have been decreasing our concentrations of our local anaesthetics, and we find that one of the impacts of that is […]
Read MoreThe use of periarticular ketorolac, an anti-platelet agent, does not produce additional blood loss in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA), a retrospective study presented here at the annual meeting of the Canadian Anesthesiologists’ Society concludes. The study compared 57 patients who received periarticular ketorolac injection and 33 patients who didn’t (controls). Because ketorolac is […]

Low-dose naloxone not only has been shown to block the development of acute opioid tolerance but also to ameliorate undesired opioid-induced side effects. We hypothesized that naloxone prevents the acute opioid tolerance […]

Authors: Minoshima R et al BACKGROUND: In this randomized controlled trial, we examined whether intra- and postoperative infusion of low-dose ketamine decreased postoperative morphine requirement and morphine-related adverse effects as nausea and vomiting after scoliosis surgery. METHODS: After IRB approval and informed consent, 36 patients, aged 10-19 years, undergoing posterior […]
Read MoreNearly half of children and adolescents who present for the first time with migraine or probable migraine receive no treatment, and fewer than one in six receive evidence-based treatment, a new study finds. The results, from an analysis of electronic health record data across practice settings in four US states, were presented here at the […]

Authors: Frauenfelders S et al INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to compare patient satisfaction between remifentanil patient-controlled analgesia (RPCA) and epidural analgesia (EA) for labor pain. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This prospective cohort study was carried out on primiparous women requesting analgesia for labor at a Teaching Hospital, Amsterdam, the […]

METHODS: This was a unicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, prospective study. Patients were randomly assigned to receive 1 mg/kg ketamine (ketamine group) […]
Read MoreBMC Anesthesiol. 2015;15(34) Authors: Kentaro Ouchi; Kazuna Sugiyama Abstrate: We investigated the impact of the type of neurological disorder on the required propofol dose for anesthesia and the time to emerge from anesthesia during dental treatment in patients with autism (AU), cerebral palsy (CP), and intellectual disability (ID), some of whom also had epilepsy. Methods: We studied 224 […]

Buggy Delivering value for money is an increasingly insistent demand in health policy, driven by financial constraint, increased patient expectations, an ageing population, and more expensive technologies. Health performance measurement is central to ensuring that the healthcare we provide is of value to both those who pay […]
