The accompanying images demonstrate the occurrence of transient reactive phlebitis (fig. 1A) in a 60-yr-old man immediately after anesthesia induction with lidocaine, propofol, remifentanil, sufentanil, and rocuronium. The signs of phlebitis completely vanished 3 h after anesthesia induction (fig. 1B). Fig. 1. (A) Phlebitis reaction on the […]

Policies regarding how independently CRNAs can practice vary by state, although national policy changes have been proposed. In 2019, CMS passed a provision allowing […]
Read MoreAuthors: Clemens Reiffurth, Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology December 2023. In Reply: We thank Dr. Enlund very much for his comments and motivating words. The interactions of anesthetics with key mechanisms in energy metabolism and ion homeostasis occur simultaneously as we observed in our experiments. These complex interactions might be relevant for both neuroprotection and neurotoxicity associated with […]
