BACKGROUND: Hypoxia often occurs due to shared airway and anesthetic sedation-induced hypoventilation in patients receiving flexible bronchoscopy (FB) under deep sedation. Previous evidence has shown that supraglottic jet oxygenation and ventilation (SJOV) via Wei nasal jet tube (WNJ) reduces the incidence of hypoxia […]

MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 138(2):p 447-455, February 2024. | BACKGROUND: Fentanyl is widely used for analgesia and sedation in neonates, but pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis in this population has been limited by the relatively large sample volumes required for plasma-based assays. METHODS: In this multicenter observational study of fentanyl kinetics in […]

Although many risk factors have been suggested, their relative predictive value is unknown. The primary objective of this retrospective cohort study was to determine the incidence of failed spinal […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Rubin, Daniel S. MD, MS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 138(2):p 420-429, February 2024. BACKGROUND: The frequency of perioperative myocardial infarction has been declining; however, previous studies have only described type 1 myocardial infarctions. Here, we evaluate the overall frequency of myocardial infarction with the addition of an International Classification of Diseases 10th revision (ICD-10-CM) […]

BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurocognitive disorder characterized by impairments in communication and socialization. There are little data comparing the differences in perioperative outcomes in children with and without ASD. We hypothesized that children with ASD would have higher postoperative […]
