Abstract Currently, the quality of guidelines for the perioperative management of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is unknown, leaving anesthesiologists to make perioperative management decisions with some degree of uncertainty. This study evaluated the quality of clinical practice guidelines regarding […]
Read MoreAuthors: Hesham Kelani, M.D. et al Anesthesiology January 2023. Background A clinically relevant mouse model of thoracic endovascular aortic repair-induced ischemic spinal cord injury has been lacking since the procedure was first employed in 1991. We hypothesized that ligation of mouse intercostal arteries would simulate thoracic endovascular aortic repair-induced ischemic spinal cord injury and behavioral […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Dominguez, Jennifer E. MD, MHS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(2):p 205-214, February 2023. 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: Zhang, Tracy MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia November 09, 2022. Background: Intraoperative arterial hypotension (IOH) is a common side effect of general anesthesia (GA), associated with poor outcomes in ischemic stroke. While IOH is more prevalent with hypertension, it is unknown whether IOH may differ when GA is induced during ischemic stroke, versus […]
