However, the heart and peripheral venous system […]

A common technique is to administer these drugs using a nonatomized spray. Atomized drug delivery may be an attractive […]
Read MoreAuthors: Gu Y et al., Can J Anaesth 2016 Aug 63:928 In this randomized clinical trial, GlideScope intubations were faster and easier when a restricted glottic view was used. Intubation with hypercurved video laryngoscopes (VLs) often takes longer to complete because of the challenge of manipulating the endotracheal tube through the glottic opening. With direct laryngoscopy, a full […]

As we […]

MD et al BACKGROUND: To evaluate the role of routine troponin surveillance in patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery, unblinded screening with cardiac consultation per protocol was implemented at a tertiary care center. In this study, […]

METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study involving patients undergoing cardiac, vascular, spinal, and intracranial […]
