Authors: Frederic T. Billings IV, MD et al Anesthesiology May 2024. Background The best approaches to supplemental oxygen administration during surgery remain unclear, which may contribute to variation in practice. We aimed to assess determinants of oxygen administration and its variability during surgery. Methods Using multivariable linear mixed-effects regression, we measured the associations between intraoperative […]

Background Data on assessment and management of dyspnea in patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiogenic shock are lacking. The hypothesis was that increasing sweep gas flow through the venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenator may decrease dyspnea in nonintubated venoarterial ECMO patients […]
