Flurbiprofen Axetil Provides Effective Analgesia Without Changing the Pregnancy Rate in Ultrasound-Guided Transvaginal Oocyte Retrieval: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

AUTHORS: Zhao, Hong MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: April 19, 2017 BACKGROUND: In this prospective double-blind randomized study, we evaluated the analgesic effect and potential effect on pregnancy rate of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug flurbiprofen axetil in patients undergoing ultrasound-guided transvaginal oocyte retrieval under propofol-remifentanil anesthesia. METHODS: A total of 200 patients scheduled to undergo […]

Attempted Development of a Tool to Predict Anesthesia Preparation Time From Patient-Related and Procedure-Related Characteristics

AUTHORS: Maheshwari, Kamal MD, MPH et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: August 2017 – Volume 125 – Issue 2 – p 580–592 BACKGROUND: Operating room (OR) utilization generally ranges from 50% to 75%. Inefficiencies can arise from various factors, including prolonged anesthesia preparation time, defined as the period from induction of anesthesia until patients are considered ready […]

Effect of Bronchoconstriction-induced Ventilation–Perfusion Mismatch on Uptake and Elimination of Isoflurane and Desflurane

Authors: Moritz Kretzschmar, M.D., Ph.D., D.E.S.A. et al Anesthesiology published on August 31, 2017. Background: Increasing numbers of patients with obstructive lung diseases need anesthesia for surgery. These conditions are associated with pulmonary ventilation/perfusion (VA/Q) mismatch affecting kinetics of volatile anesthetics. Pure shunt might delay uptake of less soluble anesthetic agents but other forms of VA/Q scatter […]

Perioperative Outcomes of Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy Compared With Open Hysterectomy.

AUTHORS: Gali, Bhargavi MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: April 19, 2017 BACKGROUND: Increasing numbers of robotic hysterectomies (RH) are being performed. To provide ventilation (with pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg position) for these procedures, utilization of lung protective strategies with limiting airway pressures and tidal volumes is difficult. Little is known about the effects of intraoperative […]
