Read MoreAUTHORS: Butwick A, Tiouririne M Journal of Clinical Anesthesia (JCA) 33 460-8 (Sep 2016) STUDY OBJECTIVES Obstetric anesthesiologists commonly care for high-risk obstetric patients. However, it is unclear how obstetricians refer these patients for anesthetic evaluation and whether obstetric anesthesia clinics (OACs) are used. Our study aims were to determine the availability and characteristics of […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia:September 23, 2016 AUTHORS: Barile, Luigi MD et al BACKGROUND: To better understand the role of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) in a surgical setting with high risk of bleeding, we analyzed all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the setting of cardiac surgery that compared ANH with standard intraoperative care. The aim was to […]
Read MoreAuthors: Ortiz-Catalan M et al., Lancet 2016 Dec 10; 388:2885 A study demonstrates that practicing phantom motor executions based on decoding of intended actions using an augmented-reality computer system can reduce phantom limb pain. Phantom limb pain is a debilitating condition that occurs in a subset of patients after limb amputation. Growing evidence suggests that such pain […]

Background: Vasoplegic syndrome is a common complication after cardiac surgery and impacts negatively on patient outcomes. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether vasopressin is superior to norepinephrine in reducing postoperative complications in patients with vasoplegic syndrome. Methods: This prospective, […]
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, […]
