Discharge Readiness after Tricompartment Knee Arthroplasty: Adductor Canal versus Femoral Continuous Nerve Blocks—A Dual-center, Randomized Trial

Published in Anesthesiology 6/2015 Authors: Anthony T. Machi, MD et al Background: The authors conducted a randomized, controlled, parallel-arm, superiority study to test the hypothesis that a continuous adductor canal block decreases the time to attain four discharge criteria compared with a continuous femoral nerve block after tricompartment knee arthroplasty. Methods: Subjects undergoing tricompartment knee arthroplasty were […]

Malignant Hyperthermia Testing in Probands without Adverse Anesthetic Reaction

Published in Anesthesiology 6/2015 Authors: Matthew A. Timmins, B.Sc. Background: Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is triggered by reactions to anesthetics. Reports link nonanesthetic-induced MH-like reactions to a variety of disorders. The objective of the authors was to retrospectively investigate the reasons for referrals for MH testing in nonanesthetic cases and assess their phenotype. In addition, the response to […]

Association between Intraoperative Hypotension and Hypertension and 30-day Postoperative Mortality in Noncardiac Surgery

Published in Anesthesiology 6/2015 Authors: Terri G. Monk, M.D., M.S. et al Background: Although deviations in intraoperative blood pressure are assumed to be associated with postoperative mortality, critical blood pressure thresholds remain undefined. Therefore, the authors estimated the intraoperative thresholds of systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean blood pressure (MAP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) associated with […]

Pre-emptive peritonsillar infiltration of magnesium sulphate and ropivacaine vs. ropivacaine or magnesium alone for relief of post-adenotonsillectomy pain in children.

Published in Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol 2015 Apr;79(4):499-503 Authors; Sun J et al OBJECTIVES: The randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study evaluated the administration of local infiltration of magnesium combined with ropivacaine to reduce pain scores after pediatric adenotonsillectomy. METHODS: Sixty one subjects received 5ml solution contained 0.25% ropivacaine plus 5mg/kg magnesium sulphate (Group M+R), 5ml 0.25% […]
