Anesthesiology 8 2015, Vol.123, 434-443 Authors: Maurice Jove, MD et al Background: Complications with IV patient-controlled analgesia include programming errors, invasive access, and impairment of mobility. This study evaluated an investigational sufentanil sublingual tablet system (SSTS) for the management of pain after knee or hip arthroplasty. Methods: This prospective, randomized, parallel-arm, double-blind study randomized postoperative patients at 34 U.S. sites […]

Monks, MD et al Background: Studies examining the efficacy of a single preoperative dose of gabapentin for analgesia after cesarean delivery (CD) have been inconclusive. The authors hypothesized that a perioperative course of gabapentin would improve analgesia after CD. Methods: This single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, superiority trial was […]

Authors: Susan M Lee, MD, FRCPC et al Background: Despite widespread use, there is limited information to guide perioperative management of angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, the authors evaluated the patterns of postoperative ARB use in veterans regularly prescribed ARBs admitted for noncardiac surgery at the Veterans […]

Authors: Andra E Duncan, MD et al Background: Glucose–insulin–potassium (GIK) administration during cardiac surgery inconsistently improves myocardial function, perhaps because hyperglycemia negates the beneficial effects of GIK. The hyperinsulinemic normoglycemic clamp (HNC) technique may better enhance the myocardial benefits of GIK. The authors extended previous GIK investigations by (1) targeting normoglycemia while […]

Endotracheal tube (ETT) exchange is required when ventilation is ineffective because of either cuff failure or tube size. The […]
