Authors: Mascha EJ et al., Anesthesiology 2015 Jul 123:79 Intraoperative hypotension was much more important than intraoperative hypertension or BP variability. Adverse effects of severe hypotension during surgery are quite clear. But what about intraoperative hypertension or marked variability of blood pressure (BP) during surgery? Two studies shed light on this question. A study from six U.S. […]
Read MoreAuthors: Chang JE et al., Anaesthesia 2015 Aug 70:933 During oral flexible fiberoptic intubation, the jaw-thrust maneuver was more effective when patients were in a semi-erect position than a supine position. An unobstructed path through the airway makes fiberoptic intubation easier to perform. Patient positioning, airway adjuncts, and jaw or tongue manipulation have all been used to improve […]
Read MoreAuthors: Andersen LW et al., JAMA 2015 Aug 25; 314:802 Among children with nonshockable rhythms, longer time to epinephrine administration was associated with lower likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation, survival at 24 hours, and survival to discharge with favorable neurologic outcome. Using data from the national Get With the Guidelines–Resuscitation registry from 2000 to 2014, investigators […]

The authors investigated whether, in healthy lungs, during high pressure/volume ventilation, injury begins at the interface of naturally inhomogeneous structures as visceral pleura, bronchi, vessels, and alveoli. The authors wished also to […]

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 […]
