Author: Christian S. Guay, MD International Anesthesia Research Society The importance of intellectual property (IP) in advancing medical research and the challenges and rewards of translating scientific discoveries into impactful innovations in clinical practice were underscored at the session, “Ensuring Patients Benefit from Your Intellectual Property, Patents and Commercialization,” on Saturday, May 18 at the […]
Read MoreAuthor: Christian S. Guay, MD International Anesthesia Research Society Cardiac arrest presents a critical medical emergency where swift and effective interventions can mean the difference between life and death. Recent advancements in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques offer promising avenues to optimize patient outcomes in these emergencies. The session, “Hot Topics in Cardio‐Cerebral Resuscitation ‐ From […]
Read MoreAuthors: Côme Bureau, M.D., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology July 2024, Vol. 141, 87–99. Background Data on assessment and management of dyspnea in patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiogenic shock are lacking. The hypothesis was that increasing sweep gas flow through the venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenator may decrease dyspnea in nonintubated venoarterial ECMO patients […]
Read MoreAuthor: Christian S. Guay, MD International Anesthesia Research Society Leading experts came together to discuss the latest advancements in understanding and preventing perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND), during the symposium titled “Targets for Prevention of Perioperative Neurocognitive Disorders: What’s New in Town?” co-sponsored by the Society for the Advancement of Geriatric Anesthesia (SAGA), at the 2024 […]
Read MoreAuthor: Robert N. Sladen, M.B.Ch.B., M.R.C.P.(U.K.), F.R.C.P.C., F.C.C.M. Anesthesiology May 2024. Background Acute renal dysfunction and subsequent acute renal failure after cardiac surgery are associated with high mortality and morbidity. Early therapeutic or preventive intervention is hampered by the lack of an early biomarker for acute renal injury. Recent studies showed that urinary neutrophil gelatinase–associated […]
Read MoreAuthors: Evangelia Akoumianaki, M.D., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology May 2024. Background Patient-ventilator dyssynchrony is frequently observed during assisted mechanical ventilation (MV). However, the effects of expiratory muscle contraction on patient-ventilator interaction are underexplored. We hypothesized that active expiration would affect patient-ventilator interaction and we tested our hypothesis in a mixed cohort of invasively ventilated patients […]

Read MoreAuthors: Gamonmas Ekkapat, M.D. et al Anesthesiology May 2024. A 43-yr-old woman experienced acute respiratory failure with right ventricular dysfunction following a complex left pneumonectomy (fig. 1A) with cardiopulmonary bypass. She was intubated and mechanically ventilated. Fig. 1. (A) Chest x-ray showing patchy opacities at the right middle and lower lung zones along with loculated […]
Read MoreAuthors: Kim I. Albers-Warlé, MD et al Anesthesiology May 2024. Background The number of trials investigating the effects of deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) on surgical conditions and patient outcomes is steadily increasing. Consensus on which surgical procedures benefit from deep NMB (a post tetanic count of 1-2) and how to implement it has not been […]
Read MoreAuthors: Zain Wedemeyer, BS et al Anesthesiology May 2024. Background The accuracy and precision of currently available, widely used acceleromyograph and electromyograph neuromuscular blockade monitors have not been well studied. In addition, the normalization of the train-of-four ratio from acceleromyography (train-of-four ratio [T4/T1] divided by the baseline train-of-four ratio) has not been validated in comparison […]
