I thought this was very interesting so I wanted to share. AUTHORS: Chinn, Gregory A. MD, PhD; Gray, Andrew T. MD, PhD; Larson, Merlin D. MD Anesthesia & Analgesia 138(2):p 475-479, February 2024. Abstract Fidel Pagés, a Spanish surgeon, tragically died in 1923 at the age of 37, just 2 years after his publication “Anestesia […]
Read MoreSeizures in amygdala could lead to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy A research team supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has identified a part of the brain that may be associated with breathing failure following a seizure in people with severe epilepsy that cannot be controlled with medication. This condition, known as sudden […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Lo, Brian D. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 138(2):p 465-474, February 2024. BACKGROUND: Pediatric patients requesting bloodless care represent a challenging clinical situation, as parents cannot legally refuse lifesaving or optimal interventions for their children. Here, we report clinical outcomes for the largest series of pediatric inpatients requesting bloodless care and also discuss the […]
Read MoreAuthors: Zhenhu Liang, Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology December 2023. Background Identifying the state-related “neural correlates of consciousness” for anesthetics-induced unconsciousness is challenging. Spatiotemporal complexity is a promising tool for investigating consciousness. We hypothesized that spatiotemporal complexity may serve as a state-related but not drug-related EEG indicator during an unconscious state induced by different anesthetic drugs […]
Read MoreRadius Anesthesia In July 2020, remimazolam, a novel short-acting drug, was approved in the US for procedural sedation in adults (1). Like midazolam (a common anesthetic adjunct), remimazolam is a benzodiazepine and operates by modulating γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor activity to induce cell membrane hyperpolarization, thereby inhibiting neural activity via an increase in chloride ion […]
Read MoreAuthor: Morris D, Ferguson M. Ask the PharmD Pract Pain Manag. 2021;21(4). Treatment adherence strategies, including motivational interviewing and case vignettes. Medication adherence is an important part of assessment and disease management, yet it is still difficult for most patients. Nonadherence is linked to hospital admissions, worsehealth outcomes, increased morbidity/mortality, and higher healthcare-related costs. Around […]
Read MoreAuthor: Patsy Newitt Becker’s ASC Review From consolidation to noncompetes, six physician leaders recently joined Becker’s to discuss the workforce trends that are concerning them. Editor’s note: These responses were edited lightly for clarity and length. Clarissa Arthur, MD. Family Medicine Physician in Nashville, Tenn.: The workforce trend for physicians and providers that is most concerning is that […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Juan P. Cata, M.D.; Daniel I. Sessler, M.D. Anesthesiology January 2024. The major goal of translational research is to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of treatments and interventions that have emerged from exhaustive preclinical evidence. In 2007, a major clinical trial was started to investigate the impact of paravertebral analgesia on breast cancer recurrence. The […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Xu, Cheng MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 138(2):p 483-484, February 2024. Interscalene brachial plexus block is known for providing superior analgesia for shoulder procedures; however, there is a risk of hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis due to phrenic nerve palsy, which may restrict its use in certain populations.1 The suprascapular, axillary, and subscapular nerves innervate the shoulder joint.2,3 Recent […]
Read MoreAuthors: David Berger, MD et al Anesthesiology January 2024. Background Thermodilution is unreliable in veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). Systemic oxygenation depends on recirculation fractions and ratios of ECMO flow to cardiac output. In a prospective in vitro simulation, we assessed the diagnostic accuracy of a modified thermodilution technique for recirculation and cardiac output. We […]
