AUTHORS: Cabrini, Luca MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2019 – Volume 128 – Issue 5 – p 971-980 Awake fiberoptic intubation is one of the recommended strategies for surgical patients with anticipated difficult airway, especially when concurrent difficult ventilation is expected. We performed the first systematic review of randomized controlled trials assessing different protocols […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Maddison, Kathleen J. PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: March 2019 BACKGROUND: The propensities for the upper airway to collapse during anesthesia and sleep are related, although much of our understanding of this relationship has been inferred from clinical observation and indirect measures such as the apnea–hypopnea index. The aim of this study was to use […]

MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: June 2019 – Volume 128 – Issue 6 – p 1256-1263 BACKGROUND: In patients who undergo surgery for oropharyngeal masses, intubation is almost always successful. However, technical aspects of airway management, including bag mask ventilation and oxygenation, may still be difficult. Although rates of airway difficulty […]

While decreases in global strain have been used to predict outcomes after cardiac surgery, […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Davies, Simon James MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: March 2019 BACKGROUND: Intraoperative hypotension is associated with worse perioperative outcomes for patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery. The Hypotension Prediction Index is a unitless number that is derived from an arterial pressure waveform trace, and as the number increases, the risk of hypotension occurring in […]
