AUTHORS: Tschoellitsch, Thomas et al European Journal of Anaesthesiology: September 2022 – Volume 39 – Issue 9 – p 766-773 BACKGROUND Massive perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion, that is, perioperative transfusion of more than 10 units of packed red blood cells (pRBC), is one of the main contributors to perioperative morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgery. Prediction […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Dalia, Adam A. MD, MBA, FASE et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: September 23, 2022 Abstract Increasing cardiac procedural volume, a shortage of practicing cardiac anesthesiologists, and growth in specialist physician compensation would be expected to increase cardiac anesthesiologist compensation and work load. Additionally, more cardiac anesthesiologists are graduating from accredited fellowships and completing echocardiography […]

Even though ventriculo-arterial coupling has […]
Read MoreAuthors: Martin Krause Semin Cardiothorac Vasc Anesthesia Oct 5, 2022 Abstract Background. Intubations, especially in emergent settings, carry a high risk of hemodynamic instability with potentially catastrophic outcomes. Weight-based dosing of induction drugs can be inappropriately high for elective or emergent intubations and lead to hemodynamic instability. We hypothesized that monitoring the patient state index […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Simonin, Marine MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: September 22, 2022 BACKGROUND: Hypotension during surgery is frequent in the elderly population and is associated with acute kidney and myocardial injury, which are, themselves, associated with increased 30-day mortality. The present study compared the hemodynamic effects of hypobaric unilateral spinal anesthesia (HUSA) to general anesthesia (GA) […]
