Ultrasound-Guided Intertransverse Process and Deep Rectus Sheath Blocks for Emergency Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in a High-Risk Elderly Patient

Authors: Sorrentino T, Marrone F, Fusco P, et al. Cureus 18(8): e114236. doi:10.7759/cureus.114236 Abstract Gangrenous cholecystitis with peritonitis in elderly, high-risk patients carries substantial perioperative risk, particularly when compounded by multiple comorbidities, coagulopathy, and sepsis. General anesthesia in such patients is associated with increased hemodynamic instability and postoperative morbidity. Regional anesthesia combined with procedural sedation […]

Robot-assisted knee replacements show no outcome advantage: Study

Author: Hailey Bosek Becker’s Spine Review Robot-assisted knee replacement surgery was more precise than surgeon-only procedures but did not lead to better patient outcomes, according to a study published Aug. 20 in The Lancet. Researchers recruited 339 patients being treated by 33 surgeons at 10 hospitals across the U.K. and randomly assigned them to surgeon-only or […]

The Arrest Is a Trajectory, Not a Snapshot: Rethinking Point-of-Care Ultrasound During Cardiac Arrest

Authors: Rakesh C, Mohan N Cureus 18(8): e114500. doi:10.7759/cureus.114500 Abstract Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is now routine during resuscitation, and clinicians may interpret a single intra-arrest finding, such as cardiac standstill, pseudo-pulseless electrical activity (PEA), or organized motion, as a fixed description of the patient’s physiological state. This perspective argues that this assumption deserves scrutiny. The […]

Derivation and Exploratory Evaluation of the Respiratory Rate-Oxygenation (ROX) Index as a Predictor of High-Flow Nasal Cannula Outcomes in Patients With COVID-19 Pneumonia

Authors: Chandra R, . A, Kumar H, et al. Cureus 18(8): e114739. doi:10.7759/cureus.114739 Objectives: High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy is a first-line respiratory support modality for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) due to COVID-19 pneumonia. The respiratory rate-oxygenation (ROX) index, defined as the ratio of peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2)/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) divided by respiratory […]
