American Society of Anesthesiologists 2023 Guidance on Neurologic Complications of Neuraxial Analgesia/Anesthesia in Obstetrics

Authors: Manuel C. Vallejo, M.D., D.M.D. et al  Anesthesiology April 2024. To the Editor: Both parturients and healthcare providers have fears of neurologic complications associated with neuraxial analgesia/anesthesia, even though the odds are 5- to 10-fold higher for obstetric-related injury. More than half of parturients want to be informed of anesthetic risks even at a […]

Association of Mechanical Energy and Power with Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Lung Resection Surgery

Authors: Susie Yoon, M.D., Ph.D. et al  Anesthesiology May 2024, Vol. 140, 920–934. Background Mechanical power (MP), the rate of mechanical energy (ME) delivery, is a recently introduced unifying ventilator parameter consisting of tidal volume, airway pressures, and respiratory rates, which predicts pulmonary complications in several clinical contexts. However, ME has not been previously studied in […]

Modified Thermodilution for Simultaneous Cardiac Output and Recirculation Assessment in Veno-venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Autors: David Berger, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology May 2024, Vol. 140, 1002–1015. Background Thermodilution is unreliable in veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). Systemic oxygenation depends on recirculation fractions and ratios of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) flow to cardiac output. In a prospective in vitro simulation, this study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of a modified thermodilution technique for recirculation […]
