AUTHORS: Rosero, Eric B. MD, MSc et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(2):p 218-226, February 2023. Abstract With increasing implantation of coronary artery stents over the past 2 decades, it is inevitable that anesthesiologists practicing in the outpatient setting will need to determine whether these patients are suitable for procedures at a free-standing ambulatory surgery center (ASC). […]

BACKGROUND: Volatile anesthetic consumption can be reduced by minimizing excessive fresh gas flows (FGFs). Currently, it is unknown whether decision support tools embedded within commercial electronic health record systems can be successfully adopted to achieve long-term reductions in FGF rates. The authors […]

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has focused attention on the anesthesia workforce around the world. In many countries, anesthesiologists have had to work in critical care units as well as the operating room, and deficiencies in the number of anesthesiologists […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Gong, Selena BhSc et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(2):p 251-261, February 2023. Abstract BACKGROUND: Several frailty screening tools have been shown to predict mortality and complications after surgery. However, these tools were developed for in-person evaluation and cannot be used during virtual assessments before surgery. The FRAIL (fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness, and loss of weight) […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Salaün, Jean-Philippe MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(2):p 240-250, February 2023. BACKGROUND: One in 7 children will need general anesthesia (GA) before the age of 3. Brain toxicity of anesthetics is controversial. Our objective was to clarify whether exposure of GA to the developing brain could lead to lasting behavioral and structural brain […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Asingei, Juventine MPH et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(2):p 230-237, February 2023. BACKGROUND: The populations of the East, Central, and Southern African regions receive only a fraction of the surgical procedures they require, and patients are more likely to die after surgery than the global average. An insufficient anesthetic workforce is a key barrier to […]

BACKGROUND: Previous studies of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk in gravidas with chronic hypertension (cHTN) did not control for obesity as a risk factor for OSA. We therefore performed this study to evaluate whether OSA is more prevalent among gravidas with […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Schnetz, Michael P. MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(2):p 194-203, February 2023. BACKGROUND: Intraoperative hypotension (IOH) is strongly linked to organ system injuries and postoperative death. Blood pressure itself is a powerful predictor of IOH; however, it is unclear which pressures carry the lowest risk and may be leveraged to prevent subsequent hypotension. […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Au, Emily BSc et al Anesthesia & Analgesia January 11, 2023. BACKGROUND: Older patients with preoperative cognitive impairment are at risk for increased postoperative complications after noncardiac surgery. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the association between preoperative cognitive impairment and dementia and postoperative outcomes in older surgical patients after cardiac surgery. […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Zhou, Shuangqiong MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia January 11, 2023. BACKGROUND: High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) therapy is widely used in critical care obstetrics to improve oxygenation. Much of the benefit of HFNO is linked to the creation of modest levels of positive airway pressure. Pregnant women are generally considered to be at high […]
