Read MoreAUTHORS: Kitisin, Nuanprae MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia February 2025. BACKGROUND: Low-dose ketamine may have an opioid-sparing effect in critically ill patients but may also predispose them to traumatic memories. We evaluated the effects of low-dose ketamine infusion in the intensive care unit (ICU) on fentanyl consumption and traumatic memories after hospital discharge. METHODS: […]
Read MoreAuthor: Taravati Hossein IARS The bevel of tracheal tubes operates as an airflow duct. If the bevel rotates a few degrees to the right or left, most of the tidal volume will go to the same side in VCV modes. This can lead to a significant paradox, with hyperinflation of one lung and hypoinflation of […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Chaki, Tomohiro MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia February 2025. BACKGROUND: Anesthetic exposure during childhood is significantly associated with impairment of neurodevelopmental outcomes; however, the causal relationship and detailed mechanism of developmental anesthetic neurotoxicity remain unclear. Gut microbiota produces various metabolites and influences the brain function and development of the host. This relationship […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Guyette, Francis X. MD, MPH et al Anesthesia & Analgesia February 2025. BACKGROUND: Pain management is essential in trauma. Sufentanil is a potent sublingual opioid analgesic with no active metabolites and rapid onset relative to oral medications. We hypothesize that compared to standard care, Sufentanil reduces the verbally administered numerical pain scale (VNRS) at […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Omoto, Miki MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia February 2025. BACKGROUND: Over 75% of surgeries worldwide are elective and unplanned ICU admissions after these surgeries pose a major—albeit rare—challenge. However, few epidemiological studies have focused on patients requiring unplanned ICU admission directly from the operating room after elective surgeries are lacking. This study uses […]

Read MoreAUTHORS: Pandit, Jaideep J. DPHIL, FRCA Anesthesia & Analgesia February 2025. The isolated forearm technique (IFT) was introduced by Tunstall in the 1970s as a means to provide anesthetized patients paralyzed with neuromuscular blockade (NMB) the ability to communicate, if perchance they were accidentally aware. In IFT a cuff temporarily isolates a forearm from the […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Li, Nan MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia February 2025. BACKGROUND: The Simple Postoperative AKI Risk (SPARK) index is a novel model for predicting risk of postoperative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI) among patients after noncardiac surgery. However, the performance of the index has been inconsistent partly due to heterogeneity in case mix and effects […]
