Perhaps more important than technology has been the recognition that all of our […]
Read MoreAuthors: Caleb Ing, M.D., M.S. et al Anesthesiology March 2022, Vol. 136, 500–512. Anesthetic agents disrupt neurodevelopment in animal models, but evidence in humans is mixed. The morphologic and behavioral changes observed across many species predicted that deficits should be seen in humans, but identifying a phenotype of injury in children has been challenging. It […]

To the Editor: The recent article by Epaud et al.1 reinforces the need for anesthesiologists to be comfortable with the flexible fiberoptic intubation technique. I read with great concern that a neurologic injury occurred because of the choice of videolaryngoscopy as the intubation approach because the […]

Read MoreDG Journal Club AUTHORS: Kenneth B Chapman et al Pain Pract. 2022 Apr INTRODUCTION Dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRG-S) is a relatively new neuromodulation modality. Therefore, data on long-term device explantation rates is limited. This investigation aimed to assess DRG-S device explantation rates at long-term follow-up. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed individuals implanted with DRG-S in […]
