Carbon Dioxide, Blood Pressure, and Perioperative Stroke

Authors: Phillip E. Vlisides, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology October 2022, Vol. 137, 434–445. Background The relationship between intraoperative physiology and postoperative stroke is incompletely understood. Preliminary data suggest that either hypo- or hypercapnia coupled with reduced cerebrovascular inflow (e.g., due to hypotension) can lead to ischemia. This study tested the hypothesis that the combination of intraoperative […]

Validation of a deep learning-based automatic detection algorithm for measurement of endotracheal tube to carina distance on chest radiographs

Autor’s: Min-Hsin Huang, MD, MS et al Anesthesiology September 2022. Background Improper endotracheal tube (ETT) positioning is frequently observed and potentially hazardous in the intensive care unit. We developed a deep learning-based automatic detection algorithm detecting the ETT tip and carina on portable supine chest radiographs to measure the ETT-carina distance. This study investigated the […]

Differential Alterations to the Metabolic Connectivity of the Cortical and Subcortical Regions in Rat Brain During Ketamine-Induced Unconsciousness

AUTHORS: Chen, Yali MD et al  Anesthesia & Analgesia: November 2022 – Volume 135 – Issue 5 – p 1106-1114 BACKGROUND: Ketamine anesthesia increased glucose metabolism in most brain regions compared to another intravenous anesthetic propofol. However, whether the changes in cerebral metabolic networks induced by ketamine share the same mechanism with propofol remains to be […]
