Smart Glasses for Radial Arterial Catheterization in Pediatric Patients

Authors: Young-Eun Jang, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology October 2021, Vol. 135, 612–620. Background Hand–eye coordination and ergonomics are important for the success of delicate ultrasound-guided medical procedures. These can be improved using smart glasses (head-mounted display) by decreasing the head movement on the ultrasound screen. The hypothesis was that the smart glasses could improve the […]

Ipsilateral and Simultaneous Comparison of Responses from Acceleromyography- and Electromyography-based Neuromuscular Monitors

Authors: Réka Nemes, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology October 2021, Vol. 135, 597–611. Background The paucity of easy-to-use, reliable objective neuromuscular monitors is an obstacle to universal adoption of routine neuromuscular monitoring. Electromyography (EMG) has been proposed as the optimal neuromuscular monitoring technology since it addresses several acceleromyography limitations. This clinical study compared simultaneous neuromuscular responses recorded […]
