Authors: Jason B. Liu, M.D., M.S. et al Anesthesiology 2 2018, Vol.128, 283-292. Background: Current preoperative cardiac risk stratification practices group operations into broad categories, which might inadequately consider the intrinsic cardiac risks of individual operations. We sought to define the intrinsic cardiac risks of individual operations and to demonstrate how grouping operations might lead to imprecise […]

Background: The relative contributions of intraoperative and postoperative hypotension to perioperative morbidity remain unclear. We determined the association between hypotension and a composite of 30-day myocardial infarction and death over three periods: (1) intraoperative, (2) remaining day of surgery, and (3) during the initial four […]

Background: The authors hypothesized that a multiparameter intraoperative decision support system with real-time visualizations may improve processes of care and outcomes. Methods: Electronic health record data were retrospectively compared over a 6-yr period across three groups: experimental cases, in which the decision support system was used […]

MD, MPH et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: September 2017 – Volume 125 – Issue 3 – p 837–845 BACKGROUND: The General Anesthesia compared to Spinal anesthesia (GAS) study is a prospective randomized, controlled, multisite, trial designed to assess the influence of general anesthesia (GA) on neurodevelopment at 5 years of age. A secondary […]
