AUTHORS: Farag, Ehab MD, FCRA, FASA et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: June 2021 – Volume 132 – Issue 6 – p 1666-1676 BACKGROUND: Catheter-based endovascular neurointerventions require deep neuromuscular blocks during the procedure and rapid subsequent recovery of strength to facilitate neurological evaluation. We tested the primary hypothesis that sugammadex reverses deep neuromuscular blocks faster than […]

MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: June 2021 – Volume 132 – Issue 6 – p 1635-1644 BACKGROUND: Patients with existing coronary artery stents are at an increased risk for major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) when undergoing noncardiac surgery (NCS). Although the use of antifibrinolytic (AF) therapy in NCS has significantly increased […]
