The Effect of Night Float Rotation on Resident Sleep, Activity, and Well-Being

AUTHORS: Ruan, Alexandra MD et al  Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 701-710, April 2023. Background: Night float call systems are becoming increasingly common at training programs with the goal of reducing fatigue related to sleep deprivation and sleep disturbance. Previous studies have shown that trainees obtain less sleep during the night float rotation and have decreased sleep […]

Influence of Different Sevoflurane Concentrations on Postoperative Cognitive Function in Aged Rats

AUTHORS: Yamamoto, Natsuko MD et al  Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 772-778, April 2023. BACKGROUND: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction may be associated with neuroinflammation, and sevoflurane suppresses surgery-induced inflammation. We hypothesized that low concentrations of sevoflurane would result in more impaired postoperative cognitive function compared to high concentrations. METHODS: Aged male Sprague–Dawley rats (n = 21, 17–22 months) […]

Postoperative Risk of Transfusion After Reversal of Residual Neuromuscular Block With Sugammadex Versus Neostigmine

AUTHORS: Schmidt, Marc T. et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 745-752, April 2023. BACKGROUND: Sugammadex and neostigmine are routinely used to reverse residual neuromuscular blocks at the end of surgery. Sugammadex has been linked with prolongation of laboratory coagulation markers, but clinical relevance on postoperative blood loss and transfusions remains unclear. METHODS: In this retrospective, single-center, […]

Maternal Cardiovascular Morbidity Events Following Preeclampsia

AUTHORS: Meng, Marie-Louise MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 728-737, April 2023. BACKGROUND: Patients with preeclampsia are at high risk for long-term cardiovascular events, yet the short-term, acute cardiovascular complications that follow preeclampsia are understudied. The objective of this study was to compare the short-term, acute maternal cardiovascular morbidity events after delivery among patients with […]

Association Between Age- and Sex-Specific Body Mass Index Percentile and Multiple Intubation Attempts

AUTHORS: Chhabada, Surendrasingh MD et al  Anesthesia & Analgesia March 15, 2023. BACKGROUND: Obesity distorts airways and slightly complicates intubations in adults, but whether obesity complicates pediatric intubations remains unclear. We, therefore, tested the primary hypothesis that increasing age- and sex-specific body mass index (BMI) percentile is associated with difficult intubation, defined as >1 intubation […]
