Cortical Dynamics and Postoperative Cognition: Comment

Authors: Akira Kubo, M.S.; Koji Hosokawa, M.D., Ph.D. Anesthesiology July 2024, Vol. 141, 193–194. To the Editor: We read with great interest the recent article by Vlisides et al.  The authors demonstrated that while intraoperative cortical connectivity measured using 16-channel electroencephalography (EEG) was not linked to postoperative cognitive function, global theta activity was associated with postoperative delirium. The […]

Classification of Epiglottal Displacement

Authors: Akihiro Suzuki, M.D., Ph.D. et al  Anesthesiology July 2024, Vol. 141, 161–162. Displacement of the epiglottis, also known as epiglottic folding, downfolding, or prolapse, is an unexpected complication associated with tracheal intubation and supraglottic airway device insertion. Recent advancements in endoscopic technology and the widespread use of video/optical devices, such as videolaryngoscopes, have brought this […]

Activity of the Sodium Leak Channel Maintains the Excitability of Paraventricular Thalamus Glutamatergic Neurons to Resist Anesthetic Effects of Sevoflurane in Mice

Authors: Yujie Wu, M.M. et al  Anesthesiology July 2024, Vol. 141, 56–74. Background Stimulation of the paraventricular thalamus has been found to enhance anesthesia recovery; however, the underlying molecular mechanism by which general anesthetics modulate paraventricular thalamus is unclear. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the sodium leak channel (NALCN) maintains neuronal activity in […]

Laryngeal Keel and Its Implications during Airway Management

Authors: Kirti Sahu, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology July 2024, Vol. 141, 159–160. A 15-YR-OLD boy with dysphonia and difficulty clearing secretions due to a glottic web underwent an endoscopic excision and Gore-Tex (W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc., USA) laryngeal keel placement (fig. 1). Laryngeal keels are used to achieve and maintain separation at the anterior […]
