Anesth Analg. 2015 Aug Authors: Gasanova I et al BACKGROUND: Surgical site infiltration and transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks are commonly used to improve pain relief after lower abdominal surgery. This randomized, observer-blinded study was designed to compare the analgesic efficacy of TAP blocks with surgical site infiltration in patients undergoing open total abdominal hysterectomy via a […]

Postoperative pain still is considerable and may prevent early discharge. METHODS: A randomized controlled blind clinical trial was designed for all patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The groups were control (group A), preincisional trocar wound infiltration […]

Dexmedetomidine has been found to effectively decrease the […]

BP measured at the wrist may be less affected by shivering. There have been […]

In this context, the question of how women’s preferences for […]

METHODS: In this retrospective […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: September 2015 – Volume 121 – Issue 3 – p 709–715 Authors: Sun, Zhuo MD et BACKGROUND: The incidence, severity, and duration of postoperative oxygen desaturation in the general surgical population are poorly characterized. We therefore used continuous pulse oximetry to quantify arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) in a cross-section of patients having […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: September 2015 – Volume 121 – Issue 3 – p 678–692 Authors: Epstein, Richard H. MD et al In this review article, we address issues related to using data from anesthesia information management systems (AIMS) to deliver near real-time alerts via AIMS workstation popups and/or alphanumeric pagers and post hoc reports via […]
Read MoreAnesthesia & Analgesia: September 2015 – Volume 121 – Issue 3 – p 652–660 Authors: Karan, Suzanne B. MD et al BACKGROUND: Physostigmine, a centrally acting acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, is most commonly used by anesthesiologists in the postanesthetic setting to reverse confusion caused by central anticholinergic medication effects. It has also been proposed as a treatment […]
