Read MoreAUTHORS: Carella, Michele MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 132(2):p 500-511, February 2021. BACKGROUND: The anesthetic management of supratentorial craniotomy (CR) necessitates tight intraoperative hemodynamic control. This type of surgery may also be associated with substantial postoperative pain. We aimed at evaluating the influence of regional scalp block (SB) on hemodynamic stability during the noxious events […]

To the Editor: Although pharmaceutical costs account for approximately 15% of the overall cost of anesthetic care, these expenses are frequently assumed to be due to the choice of anesthetic technique (general vs. regional) or the choice of medications used for anesthetic care. Seldom […]
Read MoreAuthors: Dong Zhang, PhD et al Anesthesiology April 2023. Background The administration of epinephrine after severe refractory hypotension, shock or cardiac arrest restores systemic blood flow and major vessel perfusion but may worsen cerebral microvascular perfusion and oxygen delivery through vasoconstriction. We hypothesized that epinephrine induces significant microvascular constriction in the brain, with increased severity […]
Read MoreСаrdiac Anesthesiologist April 2023 Propofol and thiopental sodium are both intravenous anesthetic agents used for the induction of anesthesia, but there are several differences between the two agents: Onset and duration of action: Propofol has a more rapid onset of action compared to thiopental sodium, meaning it takes effect more quickly after administration. Propofol also has […]
Read MoreAuthor: Heidi Splete Practical Pain Management Volume 23 Issue 2 Hospitalizations for acute liver failure involving acetaminophen and opioid toxicity decreased significantly after the FDA mandated limiting acetaminophen to 325 mg in combination acetaminophen and opioid products over a decade ago. Previous research suggested that 40% to 58% of cases of acute liver failure (ALF) […]

Background The dose of sugammadex recommended by the manufacturer for reversal of rocuronium is 2 mg/kg when the train-of-four count is 2 or more and 4 mg/kg when it is less than 2 but there is a post-tetanic count of at least 1. The purpose of […]
Read MoreСаrdiac Anesthesiologist April 2023 Ketamine is a powerful anesthetic drug that has been used in medical settings for decades. However, its effects on the brain have also led to its use as a recreational drug, leading to controversy surrounding its use. Despite its negative associations, recent research has shown promising potential for the drug in the […]
