Authors: Victor G. B. Liem, M.D., M.Sc. et al Anesthesiology September 2020, Vol. 133, 510–522. Background Intraoperative hypotension has been associated with postoperative morbidity and early mortality. Postoperative hypotension, however, has been less studied. This study examines postoperative hypotension, hypothesizing that both the degree of hypotension severity and longer durations would be associated with myocardial injury. […]

FANZCA et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: June 30, 2020 BACKGROUND: High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) is an emerging technology that has generated interest in tubeless anesthesia for airway surgery. HFNO has been shown to maintain oxygenation and CO2 clearance in spontaneously breathing patients and is an effective approach to apneic oxygenation. Although it […]

Unlike many bacterial invaders that […]
Read MoreEurekAlert In a paper published in Molecular Frontiers Journal, researchers from Cambridge, Massachusetts have discovered a more effective way of eliminating airborne particles from airways using nasal calcium-rich salts called FEND, which have potential applications in the fight against Covid-19. Sensory Cloud, creators of FEND and a Boston-based technology startup that designs solutions to problems of human wellbeing […]
