AUTHORS: Andrew, Benjamin Y. MD, MHS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia May 2023. BACKGROUND: Guidelines for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) prophylaxis in pediatric patients recommend escalation of the number of antiemetics based on a preoperative estimate of PONV risk. These recommendations have been translated into performance metrics, most notably by the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes […]
Read MoreAuthor: Olivia Goldhill STAT Health When seriously depressed patients don’t respond to antidepressants, the alternatives are limited. Now a new study has found that ketamine performs at least as well as the current gold standard for such patients, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), suggesting it deserves consideration as a frontline response for people with treatment-resistant depression. But […]

BACKGROUND: Major disparities in complications and mortality after appendectomy between countries with different income levels have not been well characterized, as comparative studies at patient level between countries are scant. This study aimed to investigate variations in postoperative complications, mortality, and […]

BACKGROUND: Research on fast-track recovery protocols postulates that thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA) in cardiac surgery contributes to improved postoperative outcomes. However, concerns about TEA’s safety hinder its widespread usage. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the benefits and risks […]

Read MoreAuthors: Cecilia M. Acosta, MD et al Anesthesiology December 2023. Background Exaggerated lung strain and stress could damage lungs in anesthetized children. We hypothesized that the association of capnoperitoneum and lung collapse in anesthetized children increases lung strain-stress. Our primary aim was to describe the impact of capnoperitoneum on lung strain-stress and the effects of […]

However, most studies evaluating it exclude patients with brain-injuries without any medical evidence. Methods We planned: a systematic review to determine whether brain-injured patients were excluded in studies […]
