Diastolic Versus Systolic or Mean Intraoperative Hypotension as Predictive of Perioperative Myocardial Injury in a White-Box Machine-Learning Model

AUTHORS: Valadkhani, Arman MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia February 20, 2025. BACKGROUND: Intraoperative hypotension (IOH) and tachycardia are associated with perioperative myocardial injury (PMI), and thereby increased postoperative mortality. Patients undergoing vascular surgery are specifically at risk of developing cardiac complications. This study aimed to explore the association between different thresholds for IOH and […]

Carboxyhemoglobin and Methemoglobin as Biomarkers of Hemolysis and Mortality in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Treated by Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

AUTHORS: Bünger, Victoria MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia March 31, 2025. BACKGROUND: Critically ill patients who receive circulatory or respiratory assist using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may develop hemolysis, which can complicate the delivery of supportive care and be a potential risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality. Clinically, hemolysis is often identified using […]

Remote Hands-on Training versus On-site Hands-on Training for Flexible Optical Intubation

AUTHORS: Fu, Danyun MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia March 31, 2025. BACKGROUND: Simulation-based training for flexible optical intubation (FOI) is effective but costly and often unavailable in remote areas. Online, hands-on training using affordable, shippable models could be a feasible alternative. METHODS: In this noninferiority randomized controlled trial, 30 participants with fewer than 5 […]
