Fibrin Network Changes in Neonates after Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Authors: Ashley C. Brown, PhD et al Anesthesiology published on 2 2016 Background: Quantitative and qualitative differences in the hemostatic systems exist between neonates and adults, including the presence of “fetal” fibrinogen, a qualitatively dysfunctional form of fibrinogen that exists until 1 yr of age. The consequences of “fetal” fibrinogen on clot structure in neonates, particularly in […]

Capnographic Parameters in Ventilated Patients: Correspondence with Airway and Lung Tissue Mechanics

Anesthesia & Analgesia: February 29, 2016 AUTHORS: Csorba, Zsofia MD et al BACKGROUND: Although the mechanical status of the lungs affects the shape of the capnogram, the relations between the capnographic parameters and those reflecting the airway and lung tissue mechanics have not been established in mechanically ventilated patients. We, therefore, set out to characterize […]

Esmolol Reduces Anesthetic Requirements Thereby Facilitating Early Extubation

A Prospective Controlled Study in Patients Undergoing Intracranial Surgery Authors: Irene Asouhidou et al BMC Anesthesiol. 2015;15(172) Background: Adequate cerebral perfusion pressure with quick and smooth emergence from anesthesia is a major concern of the neuroanesthesiologist. Anesthesia techniques that minimize anesthetic requirements and their effects may be beneficial. Esmolol, a short acting hyperselective β-adrenergic blocker is effective […]

Attending Handoff Is Correlated with the Decision to Delay Extubation After Surgery

Anesthesia & Analgesia: March 2016 – Volume 122 – Issue 3 – p 758–764 AUTHORS: Anastasian, Zirka H. MD et al BACKGROUND: Factors including ASA physical status, blood loss, and case length have been described as correlating with the decision to delay tracheal extubation after specific surgical procedures. In this retrospective study, we investigated whether […]

Continuous Adductor Canal Blocks: Does Varying Local Anesthetic Delivery Method (Automatic Repeated Bolus Doses Versus Continuous Basal Infusion) Influence Cutaneous Analgesia and Quadriceps Femoris Strength? A Randomized, Double-Masked, Controlled, Split-Body Volunteer Study

Anesthesia & Analgesia: February 9, 2016 AUTHORS: Monahan, Amanda M. MD et al BACKGROUND: It remains unknown whether continuous or scheduled intermittent bolus local anesthetic administration is preferable for adductor canal perineural catheters. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that scheduled bolus administration is superior or noninferior to a continuous infusion on cutaneous knee sensation in […]
