Reg Anesth Pain Med. 2015 Jul-Aug;40(4):337-43 Authors: Sivashammugan T et al OBJECTIVES: The optimal site for local anesthetic injection during an ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block (BPB) is not known. We tested the hypothesis that local anesthetic injected deep to the “brachial plexus sheath” during supraclavicular BPB would produce faster onset of surgical anesthesia than an injection […]

Authors: Gough AE et al IMPORTANCE: Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) using mesh is a well-established intervention for ventral hernia, but pain control can be challenging. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether instillation of a long-acting local anesthetic between the mesh and the peritoneum after LVHR reduces pain or narcotic requirements. DESIGN, […]
Read MoreProspective Cohort Study Authors: Kentaro Ouchi et al BMC Anesthesiol. 2015;15(34) Background We investigated the impact of the type of neurological disorder on the required propofol dose for anesthesia and the time to emerge from anesthesia during dental treatment in patients with autism (AU), cerebral palsy (CP), and intellectual disability (ID), some of whom also had epilepsy. […]

Read MorePrompt resumption of angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) therapy after surgery slashes 30-day mortality risk, particularly among younger patients, according to a national cohort study published June 4 in Anesthesiology. Although clinicians commonly discontinue ARBs before surgery to prevent intraoperative hypotension, there is little evidence to guide optimal timing for resumption of therapy, write lead author Susan […]
Read MoreA year ago, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported that more patients than ever are surviving after treatment for severe sepsis (2014;311:1295-1297). But now, research shows that the finding only tells one part of the story. A spate of recent studies shows the immense burden of sepsis survivorship in the […]
Read MoreThere is a disturbingly high rate of morbidity and mortality in children with difficult airways who have undergone multiple intubation attempts, according to a database analysis by a multicenter research team. Severe complications in the cohort were also associated with body weight less than 10 kg and difficult airways that were unanticipated. At the heart […]
Read MoreAuthors: S. Munirama; G. McLeod Br J Anaesth. 2015;114(4):543-545. Anaesthetists provide personalized care. Preoperative assessment guides decision-making, and awareness of risk based on clinical experience allows anaesthesia to be conducted in a way that aims to achieve the best possible clinical outcome for each patient while minimizing side-effects. This traditional approach has led to the use […]
Read MoreAuthors: Marcia A Corvetto et al BMC Anesthesiol. 2015;15(32) Background: Despite the increasing use of regional anesthesia, specific recommendations regarding the type of procedures to be included in residency training programs are not currently available. We aimed to determine the nerve block techniques that practicing Chilean anesthesiologists perceived as essential to master during residency training. Methods: […]
