Authors: Emily P. Mihalko, Ph.D et al Anesthesiology April 2023. Background The use of low-titer group O whole blood is increasing. To reduce wastage, unused units can be converted to packed red blood cells. Supernatant is currently discarded post-conversion; however, it could be a valuable transfusable product. The aim of this study was to evaluate […]
Read MoreAuthors: Kira A Spencer, Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology Newly Published on April 2023. Background. A variety of molecular targets for volatile anesthetics have been suggested including the anesthetic-sensitive K+ leak channel, TREK-1. Knockout of TREK-1 is reported to render mice resistant to volatile anesthetics, making TREK-1 channels compelling targets for anesthetic action. Spinal cord slices from mice, […]
Read MoreAuthors: Andrew S Chang, MS et al Anesthesiology April 2023. Background Suppression of behavioral and physical responses defines the anesthetized state. This is accompanied, in humans, by characteristic changes in EEG patterns. However, these measures reveal little about the neuron or circuit-level physiological action of anesthetics, nor how information is trafficked between neurons. We assess […]
Read MoreСаrdiac Anesthesiologist April 2023 Thrombolysis is a medical procedure that involves the use of medication to dissolve blood clots that have formed inside blood vessels. While thrombolysis can be an effective treatment option for certain conditions, there are certain situations where it may not be appropriate due to contraindications.

Read MoreAuthors: Fritz-Gerald Charles, MD, CNMT et al ASA Monitor April 2023, Vol. 87, 18–19. The old adage “You never get a second chance to make a first impression” applies daily in the practice of anesthesiology. The field is marked by brief encounters with patients during some of their most stressful life events: before the birth of […]
Read MoreAuthor: Avery Hurt Practical Pain Management March 2023 Review leads to recommendations and warnings on the use of NSAIDs for pain. NSAIDs: Quick History Aspirin, the first nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or NSAID, was developed in 1897. It was not until the 1950s that non-aspirin NSAIDs became available and forever changed the treatment of pain. As […]
Read MoreСаrdiac Anesthesiologist April 2023 Fast track anesthesia schemes are multi-modal approaches that aim to reduce the physiological stress response to surgery, enhance recovery, and improve patient outcomes. These schemes typically involve several aspects of perioperative care, including anesthesia management, surgical technique, pain management, fluid management, and early mobilization. Here are some common fast track anesthesia schemes: […]
Read MoreAuthors: Basem B. Abdelmalak, MD, FASA, SAMBA-F et al ASA Monitor April 2023, Vol. 87, 46–48. Developing leaders with a strong background in quality is essential for the optimal functioning of an anesthesiology department, perioperative services, hospitals, and health care systems. Anesthesiologists are uniquely positioned to instill and guide a culture of patient safety and quality […]
