Authors: Takamitsu Ikeda, M.D., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology September 2022. Background Patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest are routinely sedated during targeted temperature management, while the effects of sedation on cerebral physiology and outcomes after cardiac arrest remain to be determined. We hypothesized that sedation would improve survival and neurological outcomes in mice after cardiac […]
Read MoreAuthor: Michael Walter Cardiovascular Business Marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine and opiates are all associated with an increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AFib), according to new findings published in European Heart Journal.[1] “Though alcohol and tobacco smoking have each been associated with a heightened risk of AFib, relationships between other drug use and AFib are poorly understood,” […]

A study in mice suggests that pain neurons in the gut help to regulate the secretion of protective mucus. The neurons responded to painful gut inflammation by signaling other cells […]
Read MoreThis is for our readers who treat pain patients. Author: Rachel Ann Tee-Melegrito MedicalNewsToday Hyperesthesia is a heightened sensitivity to stimuli. It may affect any of the senses but often involves touch, pain, and temperature sensations. We take in the world around us through our senses. There are two basic types of senses: special and […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Felipe Muñoz-Leyva, M.D. et al Anesthesiology October 2022, Vol. 137, 459–470. Background An optimal opioid-sparing multimodal analgesic regimen to treat severe pain can enhance recovery after total knee arthroplasty. The hypothesis was that adding five recently described intravenous and regional interventions to multimodal analgesic regimen can further reduce opioid consumption. Methods In a double-blinded fashion, […]
Read MoreAuthor: Kelly Wolfgang ASA Monitor Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or ECMO, was initially developed as an extension of cardiopulmonary bypass to replace the function of the heart and lungs by pumping and oxygenating a patient’s blood outside the body. The procedure, once only able to be used for hours or days at a time, can now […]
