AUTHORS: Stundner, Ottokar MD, MBA et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: June 21, 2021 BACKGROUND: An increasing body of evidence demonstrates an association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and adverse perioperative outcomes. However, large-scale data on open colectomies are lacking. Moreover, the interaction of obesity with OSA is unknown. This study examines the impact of OSA, obesity, […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Zhen-Zhen Xu, Huai-Jin Li et al. Anesthesiology. 2021 Jun 30 BACKGROUND Regional anesthesia and analgesia reduce the stress response to surgery and decrease the need for volatile anesthesia and opioids, thereby preserving cancer-specific immune defenses. This study therefore tested the primary hypothesis that combining epidural anesthesia-analgesia with general anesthesia improves recurrence-free survival after lung […]

MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: July 2021 – Volume 133 – Issue 1 – p 233-242 BACKGROUND: Surgical patients are vulnerable to opioid dependency and related risks. Clinical-translational data suggest that caffeine may enhance postoperative analgesia. This trial tested the hypothesis that intraoperative caffeine would reduce postoperative opioid consumption. The secondary […]
