Authors: Guimarães Ferreira et al Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology 36(4):p 428-434, August 2023. Purpose of review Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an ever-expanding investigation modality in children. This review aims to present current strategies to perform MRI in pediatrics efficiently and safely. The latest evidence on approaches, safety and costs of MRI with no sedation or […]
Read MoreAuthors: Duffy, Caoimhe MD, MSc, FCAI et al Journal of Patient Safety 19(4):p 281-286, June 2023. Objective Adverse events in the perioperative environment, a potential risk to patients, may be mitigated by nurturing staff adaptability and resiliency. An activity called “One Safe Act” (OSA) was developed to capture and highlight proactive safety behaviors that staff […]
Read MoreAuthors: Bested, Kirsten et al PAIN Reports 8(4):p e1080, July/August 2023. Introduction: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic fluctuating, nociplastic pain condition. Naltrexone is a µ-opioid-receptor antagonist; preliminary studies have indicated a pain-relieving effect of low-dose naltrexone (LDN) in patients with FM. The impetus for studying LDN is the assumption of analgesic efficacy and thus reduction of […]
Read MoreAuthor: Christopher Medrano , MD KevinMD.com If you’ve experienced a migraine headache before, the sensation is often very distinct: throbbing pain, sensitivity to light and loud noise, and sometimes nausea and vomiting. Migraine symptoms can be uncomfortable and distressing. Equally concerning is when a migraine sufferer recognizes these symptoms in their child. Migraines typically emerge […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Jaramillo, Sebastian MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 138(1):p 141-151, January 2024. BACKGROUND: Hemoglobin concentration ([Hb]) in the perioperative setting should be interpreted in the context of the variables and processes that may affect it to differentiate the dilution effects caused by changes in intravascular volume. However, it is unclear what variables and processes affect […]
Read MoreAuthor: Rita Astani, Coronis Anesthesia Summary Heart cases involve lots of base units and lots of time units, but how much value do they really bring to an anesthesia practice? Today’s article examines the current volume and relative value of cardiac anesthesia cases. There was a time, not too long ago, when cardiovascular anesthesiologists were […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Shaefi, Shahzad MD, MPH et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(2):p 295-307, February 2023. BACKGROUND: Despite the growing contributions of critical care anesthesiologists to clinical practice, research, and administrative leadership of intensive care units (ICUs), relatively little is known about the subspecialty-specific clinical practice environment. An understanding of contemporary clinical practice is essential to recognize the […]
Read MoreAuthors: Susie Yoon, M.D., Ph.D et al Anesthesiology May 2024, Vol. 140, 920–934. Background Mechanical power (MP), the rate of mechanical energy (ME) delivery, is a recently introduced unifying ventilator parameter consisting of tidal volume, airway pressures, and respiratory rates, which predicts pulmonary complications in several clinical contexts. However, ME has not been previously studied in […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Konijn, Arjan et al European Journal of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care 2(4):p e0026, August 2023. BACKGROUND The use of regional anaesthesia has increased and evolved over the past two decades but to what extent is unclear. Moreover, there is no clear standardisation of best practice in the current European landscape, which could result in inconsistencies […]
Read MoreAuthors: Kohanski, Michael A. MD, PhD et al Journal of Head & Neck Anesthesia 7(1):p e43, June 2023. Introduction: The emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic renewed interest in infectious aerosols and methods to reduce risk of airborne respiratory pathogen transmission. This has led to the development of novel aerosol protective devices for which […]
