Machine learning-based prediction of massive perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion in cardiac surgery

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 […]

Trends in Cardiac Anesthesiologist Compensation, Work Patterns, and Training From 2010 to 2020

AUTHORS: 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 […]

Ventriculo-arterial coupling: from physiological concept to clinical application in peri-operative care and ICUs

AUTHORS: Guinot, Pierre-Grégoire et al  European Journal of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care: April 2022 – Volume 1 – Issue 2 – p e004 Abstract As an extension of the traditional heart-centred pressure-flow model, the ventriculo-arterial coupling concept is based on the pressure–volume relationship of the left ventricle and the vascular system. Even though ventriculo-arterial coupling has […]

A Randomized Pilot Study Assessing if SEDLine Monitoring During Induction of Surgical Patients is Associated With Reduced Dosage of Administered Induction Agents

Authors: 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 […]

Hypobaric Unilateral Spinal Anesthesia Versus General Anesthesia for Hip Fracture Surgery in the Elderly

AUTHORS: 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) […]
