Authors: Thomas Poulard, M.Sc. et al Anesthesiology January 2022, Vol. 136, 162–175. Background The relationship between the diaphragm thickening fraction and the transdiaphragmatic pressure, the reference method to evaluate the diaphragm function, has not been clearly established. This study investigated the global and intraindividual relationship between the thickening fraction of the diaphragm and the transdiaphragmatic […]
Read MoreRadius Anesthesia Blog During rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery, operating teams reattach a split sensory retina to the retinal pigment epithelium [1]. During the procedure, the anesthesiologist must ensure the safety of the patient and the comfort of the surgeon(s) [2]. From weighing regional versus general techniques to determining the best method through which to administer anesthesia, […]

Maintenance of spontaneous ventilation and avoiding neuromuscular blockade are recommended to reduce this risk. Physiologic arguments supporting these recommendations are controversial and direct evidence is lacking. The […]
