Read MoreAUTHORS: Karlsson, Jacob MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: September 2020 BACKGROUND: Mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) is important when evaluating the balance between oxygen delivery and whole-body oxygen consumption.

Read MoreAUTHORS: Yamada, Yuko MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: September 2020 BACKGROUND: Double-lumen endobronchial tubes (DLTs) are used for one-lung ventilation (OLV) during thoracic surgery. Overinflation into the bronchial cuff causes damage to the tracheobronchial mucosa, whereas underinflation leads to an incomplete collapse of the nonventilated lung or incomplete ventilation of the ventilated lung.

Read MoreAUTHORS: Gutiérrez, Rodrigo G. MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: November 2020 BACKGROUND: Patients with low cognitive performance are thought to have a higher risk of postoperative neurocognitive disorders. Here we analyzed the relationship between preoperative cognition and anesthesia-induced brain dynamics. We hypothesized that patients with low cognitive performance would be more sensitive to […]
