Authors: Pieter Simons, M.D. et al Anesthesiology March 2023, Vol. 138, 249–263. Background Oliceridine is a G protein–biased µ-opioid, a drug class that is associated with less respiratory depression than nonbiased opioids, such as morphine. The authors quantified the respiratory effects of oliceridine and morphine in elderly volunteers. The authors hypothesized that these opioids differ in […]

Previously, agreement of the train-of-four counts between acceleromyography and electromyography was found to be fair. The objective of this study was to assess the agreement of posttetanic count including agreement of neuromuscular blockade status (intense block, […]
Read MoreAuthor: Avery Hurt Practical Pain Management Vol 23 Issue 1 Feb 2023 Despite an alarming increase in opioid addiction over the past decade, access to treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) is still limited. Medications including methadone, naltrexone, and buprenorphine have proved beneficial for OUD treatment, however, fewer than 30% of people who need treatment […]

Background Delirium poses significant risks to patients, but countermeasures can be taken to mitigate negative outcomes. Accurately forecasting delirium in intensive care unit (ICU) patients could guide proactive intervention. Our primary objective was to predict ICU delirium by applying machine learning to clinical […]

He was started on a lidocaine infusion and transferred to a tertiary care hospital for an emergent cardiac ablation. Previous medical history included congestive heart failure secondary to non-ischemic cardiomyopathy with an ejection […]

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antiallodynic effective dose in 50% of the sample (ED50) and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) protein modulation of a peripheral direct adenosine monophosphate kinase […]
Read MoreAuthors: Heder J. de Vries, M.D. et al Anesthesiology March 2023, Vol. 138, 274–288. Background Monitoring and controlling lung stress and diaphragm effort has been hypothesized to limit lung injury and diaphragm injury. The occluded inspiratory airway pressure (Pocc) and the airway occlusion pressure at 100 ms (P0.1) have been used as noninvasive methods to assess […]
Read MoreAuthor: Patsy Newitt Becker’s ASC Review Although the ASC industry remains fragmented, some leaders are worried about the viability of independent ASCs amid an increasingly consolidated healthcare landscape. “I am focused on the consolidation of health systems, capital equity firms, private practices and third-party payers purchasing practices and ASCs,” Matt Kraemer, administrator of Northern Arizona […]

BACKGROUND: Although neuraxial anesthesia may promote improved outcomes for patients undergoing lower limb revascularization surgery, its use is decreasing over time. Our objective was to estimate variation in neuraxial (versus general) anesthesia use for lower limb revascularization at the hospital, […]
