AUTHORS: Joshi, Ravi V. MD, FASE et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: July 2021 – Volume 133 – Issue 1 – p 104-114 BACKGROUND: Blood conservation and hemostasis are integral parts of reducing avoidable blood transfusions and the associated morbidity and mortality. Despite the publication of blood conservation guidelines for cardiac surgery, evidence suggests persistent variability in […]

However, the optimal prophylactic drug remains […]

METHODS: Thirty patients undergoing thoracic surgery with OLV (tidal […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Lam, Stephanie MS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: July 2021 – Volume 133 – Issue 1 – p 32-40 BACKGROUND: Compared to general anesthesia, regional anesthesia confers several benefits including improved pain control and decreased postoperative opioid consumption. While the benefits of peripheral nerve blocks (PNB) have been well studied, there are little epidemiological data […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: McIsaac, Daniel I. MD, MPH, FRCPC et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: August 2021 – Volume 133 – Issue 2 – p 366-373 BACKGROUND: Frailty—a multidimensional syndrome related to age- and disease-related deficits—is a key risk factor for older surgical patients. However, it is unknown which frailty instrument most accurately predicts postoperative outcomes. Our objectives were […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Hallqvist, Linn MD, PhD Student, DESA et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: July 2021 – Volume 133 – Issue 1 – p 6-15 BACKGROUND: Hemodynamic instability during anesthesia and surgery is common and associated with cardiac morbidity and mortality. Information is needed regarding optimal blood pressure (BP) threshold in the perioperative period. Therefore, the effect of […]
