Author: Xia Muchao, et al. Anesthesia & Analgesia ():10.1213/ANE.0000000000007649, July 31, 2025. doi:10.1213/ANE.0000000000007649 SummaryXia and colleagues used widefield cortical imaging in Thy1-GCaMP6s mice to examine how different anesthetics alter cortical dynamics during loss of consciousness. They found that ketamine, propofol, and isoflurane all enhanced 1.5–2.5 Hz oscillations in the retrosplenial cortex (RSC), a region showing […]

Anesthesia & Analgesia ():10.1213/ANE.0000000000007635, August 05, 2025. doi:10.1213/ANE.0000000000007635 SummaryThirty VATS patients were monitored with a camera-based photoplethysmography system (FaCare) across four anesthesia stages and compared against a GE CARESCAPE B850. Agreement was strong: 88.1% of heart-rate correlation coefficients >0.8 and tight Bland–Altman limits for heartbeat intervals. Performance held under OR […]
Read MoreAuthor: Paolo Spriano Medscape Medical News This article reviews the accuracy of blood pressure (BP) measurement, emphasizing sex differences and the impact of cuff size and arm anatomy. While the Riva-Rocci-Korotkoff method remains the gold standard, modern practice largely relies on automated oscillometric cuff devices, which introduce potential errors. Recent findings show that automated systolic […]
