Author: Jaber S et al. JAMA 2016 Mar 15. Hernández G et al. JAMA 2016 Mar 15.Spoletini G et al. JAMA 2016 Mar 15. High-flow oxygen and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation lowered reintubation rates in selected patient populations. During the past few years, interest has grown in using high-flow oxygen (HFO) and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) in lieu of intubation and […]
Read MoreAuthors: Panwar R et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2016 Jan 1. Targeting to 88%–92% did not cause harm. The optimal oxygenation goal for patients who are receiving invasive mechanical ventilation remains unclear. Clinicians usually target resolution of hypoxemia and pay little attention to weaning levels of oxygen once 100% saturation has been achieved. However, harms […]

MD et Anesthesia & Analgesia: February 2017 – Volume 124 – Issue 2 – p 548–553 BACKGROUND: Evidence on the analgesic effectiveness of nitrous oxide for labor pain is limited. Even fewer studies have looked at patient satisfaction. Although nitrous oxide appears less effective than neuraxial analgesia, it is unclear whether labor […]

At low doses, it is a useful agent for the prophylaxis of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). However, its use for treating established PONV has not been well studied. METHODS: This […]

METHODS: […]
Read MoreProlonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or acetaminophen modestly increases the risk for hearing loss in older women, a prospective analysis of data from the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) I has found. A similar relationship was not seen with aspirin. The effect may not be large, but “given the high prevalence of analgesic use, […]

Hospital stays involving the misuse of prescription painkillers, or the use of illicit opioids like heroin, spiked 64 percent between 2005 and 2014, according to a report by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. […]
Read MoreAuthors: Tusman, Gerardo MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2017 – Volume 124 – Issue 1 – p 62–71 Pulse oximetry is an undisputable standard of care in clinical monitoring. It combines a spectrometer to detect hypoxemia with a plethysmograph for the diagnosis, monitoring, and follow-up of cardiovascular diseases. These pulse oximetry capabilities are extremely […]

MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2017 – Volume 124 – Issue 1 – p 282–289 Sporadic Zika virus infections had only occurred in Africa and Asia until an outbreak in Micronesia (Oceania) in 2007. In 2013 to 2014, several outer Pacific Islands reported local outbreaks. Soon thereafter, the virus was […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Doll, Dietrich MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2017 – Volume 124 – Issue 1 – p 262–269 BACKGROUND: Team performance has been studied extensively in the perioperative setting, but the managerial impact of interprofessional team performance remains unclear. We hypothesized that the interplay between anesthesiologists and surgeons would affect operating room turnaround […]
