Anesthesia & Analgesia: August 2015 – Volume 121 – Issue 2 – p 404–409 Authors: Ladha, Karim S. MD et al BACKGROUND: Anesthesia-related medication shortages have become increasingly common in the United States. We tested whether a local shortage of pharmacy-prepared ephedrine syringes, replaced by provider-prepared ephedrine, was associated with provider-level changes in ephedrine and […]

This reproducible hemodynamic perturbation creates a clinical opportunity to test multiple devices during acute changes in CO. […]

At present, little is known about […]

MBChB, MD, FANZCA et al BACKGROUND: An association between relatively deep anesthesia, as guided by the bispectral index (BIS), and increased postoperative mortality has been demonstrated in 6 of 8 published observational studies, but association does not […]

Sugammadex, a relaxant binding γ-cyclodextrin derivative, reverses the effect of rocuronium, vecuronium, and pancuronium. We investigated whether sugammadex reverses moderate pipecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade (NMB) and […]
