Authors: Manuel C. Vallejo, M.D., D.M.D. et al Anesthesiology April 2024. To the Editor: Both parturients and healthcare providers have fears of neurologic complications associated with neuraxial analgesia/anesthesia, even though the odds are 5- to 10-fold higher for obstetric-related injury. More than half of parturients want to be informed of anesthetic risks even at a […]
Read MoreAuthor: Brigette Hyacinth Linkin Healthcare Leadership Focus One of the most valuable leadership styles is servant leadership, which derives its philosophy from the basics of compassionate communication and emotional intelligence. It ensures a leader’s team members feel heard, seen and valued. This is proven to yield higher levels of job performance as well as outstanding […]
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 MoreAutors: David Berger, M.D. et al Anesthesiology May 2024, Vol. 140, 1002–1015. Background Thermodilution is unreliable in veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). Systemic oxygenation depends on recirculation fractions and ratios of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) flow to cardiac output. In a prospective in vitro simulation, this study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of a modified thermodilution technique for recirculation […]
Read MoreAuthors: Zhenhu Liang, Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology May 2024, Vol. 140, 935–949. Background Identifying the state-related “neural correlates of consciousness” for anesthetics-induced unconsciousness is challenging. Spatiotemporal complexity is a promising tool for investigating consciousness. The authors hypothesized that spatiotemporal complexity may serve as a state-related but not drug-related electroencephalography (EEG) indicator during an unconscious state induced […]
Read MoreAuthor: Paige Haeffele Becker’s ASC Review In the ever-changing healthcare market, starting a new venture can feel like a big risk. Becker’s connected with Vladimir Sinkov, MD, the founder and CEO of Sinkov Spine Center in Las Vegas, to learn valuable tips that anyone wanting to break into the ASC market should know. Question: What advice […]
Read MoreAuthors: Irene Suárez-Pereira, Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology April 2024. Background Dynamic changes in neuronal activity and in noradrenergic locus coeruleus (LC) projections have been proposed during the transition from acute to chronic pain. Thus, we explored the cellular cFos activity of the LC and its projections, in conjunction with spontaneous pain-like behavior in neuropathic rats. […]
Read MoreAnesthesiology May 2024, Vol. 140, A13–A15. An electroencephalographic signature predicts craving for methamphetamine. Cell Rep Med 2024; 5:101347. PMID: 38151021. Article Selection: Jamie Sleigh, M.D. Image: Adobe Stock. The subjective drug craving is the core driver of methamphetamine use disorder and its relapse rate. There are no reliable biomarkers of this, but it is possible that […]
Read MoreAuthors: Katherine T. Forkin, M.D. et al Anesthesiology May 2024, Vol. 140, 1020–1025. Clinicians across the country have experienced a rise in patient requests to avoid blood products from donors vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 (referred hereafter using the more commonly used disease term COVID-19). Patient concerns regarding blood transfusions from donors vaccinated against COVID-19 are often centered […]

London, M.D. Image: Adobe Stock. Conflicting results have been reported with respect to the type of skin antisepsis used prior to surgical incision to repair limb fractures with regard to […]
