AUTHORS: Ostertag, Julian MSc; Zanner, Robert MD; Schneider, Gerhard MD; Kreuzer, Matthias PhD Anesthesia & Analgesia 140(1):p 136-144, January 2025. BACKGROUND: During the anesthetic-induced loss of responsiveness (LOR), a “paradoxical excitation” with activation of β-frequencies in the electroencephalogram (EEG) can be observed. Thus, spectral parameters—as widely used in commercial anesthesia monitoring devices—may mistakenly indicate that […]

Read MoreAuthors: Zhang, Qirui MMed et al Anesthesiology December 27, 2024. Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common complications after gynecological laparoscopic surgery. Pyridoxine has been recommended as a first-line drug to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy; however, its efficacy in preventing PONV remains unclear. Methods: Patients of 18 to 65 years […]
Read MoreAuthors: Hasoon J, Varrassi G, Viswanath O Cureus 17(1): e77185. January 2025 Introduction Ischial bursitis is a challenging chronic pain condition often resistant to conservative treatments. Ischial bursa injections, including fluoroscopically guided and landmark-based approaches, are commonly used when first-line interventions fail. This study aims to compare the efficacy of these two techniques in providing […]
Read MoreAuthors: Abdalgani, Manar et al ASA Monitor 89(1):p 1,4-5, January 2025. Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency, and perioperative anaphylaxis (POA), which carries a higher risk of fatality compared to other forms of anaphylaxis, occurs at a rate of 15.3 per 100,000 cases. Research indicates that antibiotics and neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are among the more frequent […]
Read MoreAuthors: Mazzinari, Guido Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology 142(1):p 72-97, January 2025. Background: The influence of high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) with recruitment maneuvers on the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications after surgery is still not definitively established. Bayesian analysis can help to gain further insights from the available data and provide a probabilistic framework that is […]
Read MoreAuthors: Douville, Nicholas J. M.D., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology 142(1):p 52-71, January 2025. Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a key driver of unplanned admission and patient satisfaction after surgery. Because traditional risk factors do not completely explain variability in risk, this study hypothesized that genetics may contribute to the overall risk for this complication. […]

Read MoreAuthors: Chang, Odmara et al ASA Monitor 89(1):p 12-13, January 2025. Delirium is a syndrome characterized by an acute disturbance in attention, awareness, arousal, and cognition from baseline and remains the most common postoperative complication in adults 65 years of age and older (BMC Med 2014;12:141; Lancet 2014;383;911-22). The cost of postoperative delirium (POD) and longer-term cognitive […]
