Authors: Kevin W Gibbs et al N Engl j Med  2024 Jun 20;390(23):2165-2177 Background: Among critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation, hypoxemia increases the risk of cardiac arrest and death. The effect of preoxygenation with noninvasive ventilation, as compared with preoxygenation with an oxygen mask, on the incidence of hypoxemia during tracheal intubation is uncertain. Methods: In […]

Authors: Alain Deschamps et al  JAMA . 2024 Jul 9;332(2):112-123 Importance: Intraoperative electroencephalogram (EEG) waveform suppression, suggesting excessive general anesthesia, has been associated with postoperative delirium. Objective: To assess whether EEG-guided anesthesia decreases the incidence of delirium after cardiac surgery. Design, setting, and participants: Randomized, parallel-group clinical trial of 1140 adults 60 years or older undergoing cardiac surgery at […]

Authors: Shiri Zarour, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology October 2024, Vol. 141, 707–718. Background Intraoperative hypotension might contribute to the development of postoperative delirium through inadequate cerebral perfusion. However, evidence regarding the association between intraoperative hypotension and postoperative delirium is equivocal. Therefore, the hypothesis that intraoperative hypotension is associated with postoperative delirium in patients older than 70 […]

Authors: Sebastian J. Corlette, M.B.B.S. et al  Anesthesiology October 2024, Vol. 141, 670–680.

Authors: Lorraine B Ware et al JAMA 2024 Aug 6;332(5):390-400. Importance: Acetaminophen (paracetamol) has many pharmacological effects that might be beneficial in sepsis, including inhibition of cell-free hemoglobin-induced oxidation of lipids and other substrates. Objective: To determine whether acetaminophen increases days alive and free of organ dysfunction in sepsis compared with placebo. Design, setting, and participants: Phase […]

Authors: Barbara Loi, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology October 2024, Vol. 141, 719–731. Background Aeration heterogeneity affects lung stress and influences outcomes in adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The authors hypothesize that aeration heterogeneity may differ between neonatal respiratory disorders and is associated with oxygenation, so its evaluation may be relevant in managing respiratory support.
