It reported that the incidence of delirium was less in the group receiving propofol versus dexmedetomidine. The […]
Read MoreAuthors: TMarovino T, Tassone E. Practical Pain Manag. 2023 July/August;23(4). Science of PEMF Pulsed electro-magnetic field (PEMF) science has evolved over the years, and dedicated research on this topic, specifically as it applies to pain management, has been growing. Independent research on PEMF has consistently demonstrated meaningful physiological treatment effects in three areas: pain, inflammation, […]
Read MoreAuthors: Jean Guglielminotti, MD, PhD et al Anesthesiology August 2023. Background Labor neuraxial analgesia may reduce the odds of postpartum hemorrhage, the leading indication for maternal blood transfusion during childbirth. This study tested the hypothesis that labor neuraxial analgesia is associated with reduced odds of maternal blood transfusion overall. Methods US birth certificate data in […]
Read MoreAuthors: Silvia Coppola, M.D. et al Anesthesiology August 2023. To the Editor: We would like to thank Hess and Long for their comments on our article who emphasized the role of acidemia-associated coagulopathy in terms of decreasing fibrinogen concentration, reducing coagulation factors and promoting a state of hypocoagulability. Furthermore, the correction of the state of […]

To the Editor: We deeply appreciated Dr. Coppola et al.’s thorough yet concise review of acid-base physiology and the clinical indications for sodium bicarbonate. One more complication of acidosis deserves mention: coagulopathy. Although acidosis is often a secondary effect of injury and […]

Exposure to ageist comments from patients may be related to greater stress and/or burnout in residents and may impact the quality of the resident-patient relationship. However, little empirical work has examined […]
Read MoreAuthors: Kevin T Martin, M.D. et al Anesthesiology August 2023. Background Bedside electrical impedance tomography (EIT) could be useful to visualize evolving pulmonary perfusion distributions when acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) worsens or in response to ventilatory and positional therapies. In experimental ARDS, we evaluated the agreement of EIT and dynamic-contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) […]
Read MoreAuthors: Mike Charlesworth and Andrew Klein #TheAnesthesiaBlog We often hear calls for the use of PROMs and PREMs in research, and a range of studies report their use in the September issue. O’Carroll et al. report the largest multicentre dataset of day 1 and 30 postpartum recovery metrics using PROMs in patients from the UK. They […]
