Authors: Alexandre Mansour, M.D., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology June 2024, Vol. 140, 1153–1164. Background Unfractionated heparin, administered during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to prevent thromboembolic events, largely depends on plasma antithrombin for its antithrombotic effects. Decreased heparin responsiveness seems frequent on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; however, its association with acquired antithrombin deficiency is poorly understood. The objective […]

BACKGROUND: A noninvasive and accurate method of determining fluid responsiveness in ventilated patients would help to mitigate unnecessary fluid administration. Although carotid ultrasound has been previously studied for this purpose, several studies have recently been published. We performed an updated systematic review […]

Children with SCD have […]
Read MoreAuthors: Michael Vandenheuvel, MD et al Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation June 2024 Volume 39, No. 2 DEAR RAPID RESPONSE: Since the 1970s, the pulse oximeter (PO) has enabled noninvasive continuous assessment of arterial blood oxygenation as well as pulse rate. The pulse estimate is derived from the plethysmographic waveform and serves as a proxy for […]

Background The dorsal reticular nucleus is a pain facilitatory area involved in diffuse noxious inhibitory control (DNIC) through opioidergic mechanisms that are poorly understood. The hypothesis was that signaling of μ-opioid receptors is altered in this area with prolonged chronic inflammatory pain and that […]
