Read MoreAUTHORS: De Jong, Audrey MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: July 2020 BACKGROUND: “Macintosh”-videolaryngoscopes (VLs) are VLs that allow both direct and indirect laryngoscopy for intubation. We describe the decision-making and implementation-processes that our hospital used regarding the choice of device. We compared the performances of 4 Macintosh-VLs both in direct and indirect laryngoscopy. […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Riegger, Lori Q. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: June 2020 BACKGROUND: Intraoperative hypoglycemia can result in devastating neurologic injury if not promptly diagnosed and treated. Few studies have defined risk factors for intraoperative hypoglycemia. The authors sought to characterize children with intraoperative hypoglycemia and determine independent risk factors in a multicenter cohort. METHODS: […]
Read MoreAuthors: Kamal Maheshwari, M.D., M.P.H. et al Anesthesiology December 2020, Vol. 133, 1214–1222. Background The Hypotension Prediction Index is a commercially available algorithm, based on arterial waveform features, that predicts hypotension defined as mean arterial pressure less than 65 mmHg for at least 1 min. We therefore tested the primary hypothesis that index guidance reduces the […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Sun, Mingyang MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: November 2020 BACKGROUND: Anesthetic sevoflurane induces tau phosphorylation and cognitive impairment in young mice. The underlying mechanism and the targeted interventions remain largely unexplored. We hypothesized that dexmedetomidine and clonidine attenuated sevoflurane-induced tau phosphorylation and cognitive impairment by acting on α-2 adrenergic receptor. METHODS: Six-day-old […]
