AUTHORS: Mahajan, Aman MD, PhD, MBA et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 623-626, April 2023. Perioperative medicine continues to evolve as a field focused on improving outcomes for patients undergoing surgery. While some progress has recently been made, substantial opportunity still exists in understanding and implementing the changes needed to reduce postoperative morbidity and improve quality […]

BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurocognitive disorder characterized by impairments in communication and socialization. There are little data comparing the differences in perioperative outcomes in children with and without ASD. We hypothesized that children with ASD would have higher postoperative […]

We examined the incidence and risk factors for deep sedation after general anesthesia. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed health records of adults who underwent procedures with general anesthesia and were admitted to the […]

BACKGROUND In anaesthesiology, time domain parameters of the ECG are frequently used for long QT diagnosis, determination of branch blocks and for identifying atrioventricular blocks. However, this analysis depends on several factors and therefore the time domain parameters are prone […]

AUTHORS: Gilmar Reis, M.D., Ph.D. et al N Engl J Med 2023; 388:518-528 February 9, 2023 BACKGROUND The efficacy of a single dose of pegylated interferon lambda in preventing clinical events among outpatients with acute symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is unclear. METHODS We conducted a […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Old, Oliver et al European Journal of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care 2(1):p e0014, February 2023. Abstract The idea of implementing artificial intelligence in medicine is as old as artificial intelligence itself. So far, technical difficulties have prevented the integration of artificial intelligence in day-to-day healthcare. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a substantial amount […]

BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium is a highly relevant complication of cardiac surgery. It is associated with worse outcomes and considerably increased costs of care. A novel approach of monitoring patients with machine learning enabled prediction software could trigger pre-emptive implementation of […]

BACKGROUND There is growing evidence that the analgesic effect of metamizole is mediated at least partly by central mechanisms, including the endocannabinoid/endovanilloid system. Consequently, metamizole may have additive or even synergistic analgesic effects with paracetamol and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). OBJECTIVE This study […]

BACKGROUND Pre-operative anxiety occurs in 18 to 60% of children undergoing surgery and results in poor outcomes. Nonpharmacological methods of distraction are effective in alleviating peri-operative anxiety. In our institution, ride-on electric cars (ride-on e-cars) are routinely used by children undergoing ambulatory surgery […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Wagner, Soeren MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia March 30, 2023. BACKGROUND: Patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) experience chronic sleep disturbances and desaturation, factors that have been associated with postoperative delirium and that can be aggravated after anesthesia for complex procedures. We investigated whether OSA is associated with delirium after anesthesia, and […]
