Eur J Pain, 2015 May 29. Authors: Orbach-Zinger et al BACKGROUND: Quantitative sensory testing (QST) measures response to painful stimuli and has been used to predict post-caesarean pain. Pain reported upon intravenous cannulation was shown to predict epidural analgesic use and pain intensity during labour. We hypothesized that pain intensity reported by women upon local anaesthesia injection […]

Presently, dexmedetomidine is used as an adjuvant for propofol-based TIVA. We compared the effects of remifentanil and dexmedetomidine on pain intensity as well as the […]

DESIGN: Single-center retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Large tertiary and quaternary care hospital. PATIENTS: A total of 120 […]
Read MoreAlthough many anesthesiologists do not routinely reverse neuromuscular blockade at the end of surgery, a study has found that patients who are left to spontaneously recover from such blockade are six times as likely to need reintubation within 48 hours of surgery as their counterparts who received a reversal agent. Of the modifiable risk factors […]
