Authors: Shiri Zarour, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology October 2024, Vol. 141, 707–718. Background Intraoperative hypotension might contribute to the development of postoperative delirium through inadequate cerebral perfusion. However, evidence regarding the association between intraoperative hypotension and postoperative delirium is equivocal. Therefore, the hypothesis that intraoperative hypotension is associated with postoperative delirium in patients older than 70 […]

Authors: Gaetano Scaramuzzo, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology October 2024, Vol. 141, 693–706. Background Postoperative pulmonary complications can increase hospital length of stay, postoperative morbidity, and mortality. Although many factors can increase the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications, it is not known whether intraoperative ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatch can be associated with an increased risk of postoperative pulmonary […]

Radius Anesthesia The delivery of anesthesia during surgical procedures can be managed by manual control or automated end-tidal control, each of which has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Manual control of anesthesia involves the anesthesiologist directly adjusting the delivery of anesthetic gases based on the patient’s physiologic state as measured by ongoing assessment. In contrast, end-tidal […]

Authors: Jessica R. Ansari, MD, MS et al  Anesthesiology Newly Published on October 2024. Background Few studies have assessed the dose ratio of calcium gluconate to calcium chloride or defined the time course of change in serum ionized calcium concentration after intravenous injection. Methods In a bioequivalence (dose ratio) trial, parturients undergoing cesarean delivery were randomly […]

AUTHORS: Wang, Chenghao PhD et al  Anesthesia & Analgesia 139(4):p 840-850, October 2024. BACKGROUND: Exercise has been proven to be an efficient intervention in attenuating neuropathic pain. However, the underlying mechanisms that drive exercise analgesia remain unknown. In this study, we aimed to examine the role of complement component 3 (C3) in neuropathic pain and […]

AUTHORS: Amici, Lynda D. DNP, CRNA et al  Anesthesia & Analgesia 139(4):p 832-839, October 2024. BACKGROUND: Medication errors in the operating room have high potential for patient harm. While electronic clinical decision support (CDS) software has been effective in preventing medication errors in many nonoperating room patient care areas, it is not yet widely used in […]

AUTHORS: Shirsat, Nikita BS et al  Anesthesia & Analgesia 139(4):p 821-831, October 2024. BACKGROUND: Childhood adversity is associated with chronic pain in adulthood. Additionally, individuals identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ+) report a greater prevalence of chronic pain and increased adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). While the LGTBQ+ community has a disproportionately high chronic […]

AUTHORS: McCabe, Melissa D. MD, FASA, MSCR et al  Anesthesia & Analgesia 139(4):p 812-820, October 2024. BACKGROUND: Precise anesthesia delivery helps ensure amnesia, analgesia, and immobility. Conventionally, the end-tidal anesthetic concentration is maintained through manual adjustment of the fresh gas flow and anesthetic vaporizer output. Some anesthesia delivery systems can deliver and maintain clinician-selected end-tidal anesthetic […]
