MD, MSE et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: December 2020 – Volume 131 – Issue 6 – p 1852-1861 BACKGROUND: Cardiac anesthetics rely heavily on opioids, with the standard patient receiving between 70 and 105 morphine sulfate equivalents (MSE; 10–15 µg/kg of fentanyl). A central tenet of Enhanced Recovery Programs (ERP) is […]

Background It is speculated that opioid-free anesthesia may provide adequate pain control while reducing postoperative opioid consumption. However, there is currently no evidence to support the speculation. The authors hypothesized that opioid-free balanced anesthetic with dexmedetomidine reduces postoperative opioid-related adverse events compared […]

Background Recent guidelines on transfusion in cardiac surgery suggest that hemoglobin might not be the only criterion to trigger transfusion. Central venous oxygen saturation (Svo2), which is related to the balance between tissue oxygen delivery and consumption, may help the decision process of transfusion. […]
Read MoreScience Daily Source: Columbia University Summary: A body of evidence supports the association between prolonged anesthesia and cognitive impairment, but a new study is among the first to address the effect of the procedure on neural connections. Prolonged anesthesia, also known as medically induced coma, is a life-saving procedure carried out across the globe on millions […]
