Recently, a compensatory hedonic response has been observed after CPT interruption, thought to facilitate […]
Read MoreAuthors: Christine S. W. Wong MBBChir et al Canadian Journal of Anesthesia Purpose Drug-laced vaping (DLV) involves vaping devices used to inhale non-nicotine psychoactive substances (e.g., cannabinoids, stimulants, opioids, benzodiazepines [BZDs]), sometimes without the user’s awareness. Because exposure is often undisclosed and may not be detected by routine toxicology screening, DLV poses a hidden perioperative […]

Cureus 18(8): e115203. doi:10.7759/cureus.115203 Abstract Extended postanesthesia care unit (PACU) stays, often required when high-dependency beds are unavailable, are generally safe but not free of complications.

Read MoreAuthors: Wei Y, Wang X, Su P, et al. Cureus 18(8): e115227. doi:10.7759/cureus.115227 Abstract Minimally invasive lumbar spinal surgery can precipitate rare perioperative Takotsubo syndrome (stress-induced cardiomyopathy, SIC), a condition frequently misdiagnosed as acute myocardial infarction. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) serves as a valuable diagnostic tool for the multimodal evaluation of Takotsubo syndrome, helping exclude […]
