Influence of Fractional Inspired Oxygen Tension on Lung Perfusion Distribution, Regional Ventilation, and Lung Volume during Mechanical Ventilation of Supine Healthy Swine

Authors: Bruno M. Ribeiro, P.T. et al  Anesthesiology April 2024, Vol. 140, 752–764. Background Lower fractional inspired oxygen tension (Fio2) during general anesthesia can reduce lung atelectasis. The objectives are to evaluate the effect of two Fio2 (0.4 and 1) during low positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ventilation over lung perfusion distribution, volume, and regional ventilation. These variables were […]

Comparison of the Efficacy of HSK3486 and Propofol for Induction of General Anesthesia in Adults

Authors:  Tong J. Gan, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology April 2024, Vol. 140, 690–700. Background Propofol is an intravenous anesthetic associated with hypotension, respiratory depression, and injection-site pain. HSK3486 injectable emulsion (ciprofol) is a 2,6-disubstituted phenol derivative with fast onset and quick, stable recovery. Previous studies support HSK3486 as an effective, safe anesthetic with substantially less injection-site […]

Pilot Study Exploring if an Augmented Reality NeedleTrainer Device Improves Novice Performance of a Simulated Central Venous Catheter Insertion on a Phantom

Authors: Evans A et al Cureus 15(6): e40197. doi:10.7759/cureus.40197 Introduction Needle insertion and visualisation skills needed for ultrasound (US)-guided procedures can be challenging to acquire. The novel NeedleTrainer device superimposes a digital holographic needle on a real-time US image display without puncturing a surface. The aim of this randomised control study was to compare the […]

Inadvertent Placement of Thoracic Epidural Catheter in Pleural Cavity

Authors: Khan S et al Cureus 15(4): e37642. doi:10.7759/cureus.37642 Abstract Thoracic epidural placement is considered the gold standard for pain management for abdominal or thoracic surgery. It provides analgesia superior to that provided by opioids with a decreased risk of pulmonary complications. Insertion of a thoracic epidural catheter requires the knowledge and expertise of an […]
