Read MoreAuthor: Michael M. Todd, M.D. Anesthesiology September 2023. To the Editor: I read with interest the recent publication by Joo et al. comparing posttetanic counts by accelerometry as compared with electromyography. They demonstrated that accelerometry counted more twitches than did an electromyography system. However, while their work was meticulously conducted and analyzed, there is a slight but […]

In Reply: We thank Dr. Todd for his interest in our article, “Comparison of Contralateral Acceleromyography and Electromyography for Posttetanic Count Measurement.” In clinical practice, numerous acceleromyography devices measuring acceleration of muscle movement and recently developed electromyography devices measuring evoked muscle complex action potentials are used for […]

Intraoperative hypotension and hypertension can lead to end-organ injury, worsen clinical outcomes, and increase health care costs (Br J Anaesth 2018;121:706-21; Anesth Analg 2002;95:273-7; Anesthesiology 2018;128:317-27; J Hypertens 2021;39:1982-90; Anesthesiology 2011;114:1289-96; J Neurosurg 2017;127:1025-40; J Patient Saf 2021;17:e758-e64; J Clin Anesth 2021;75:110516). Unfortunately, there is little consensus on whether optimal blood pressure represents a target range or is […]

Resident physician compensation is a hot topic, and hopefully this article will provide readers with a deeper understanding of the complex mechanisms behind compensation, without promoting unfounded claims of exploitation. How did we get here? Resident physicians make roughly $60,000 per year, which – despite […]
Read MoreASA Monitor October 2023, Vol. 87, 15. ASA’s Perioperative Resuscitation and Life Support Certificate, or PeRLS, offers advanced cardiac life support training designed specifically for anesthesiologists. Adapted from the American Heart Association’s Advanced Life Support curricula, PeRLS offers a more anesthesia-centric solution to address perioperative crisis training. But because health care continues to evolve, the program […]
Read MoreASA Monitor October 2023, Vol. 87, e1. Seventeen years ago, Anesthesiology News featured my opinion piece titled “Short-Term Oxygen: Not Enough of a Good Thing?” which emphasized the benefits of what I called “continual preoxygenation” (asamonitor.pub/3KAC6bt)(login may be required). It was interesting to see the similarly titled “Deliberate Oxygen Therapy – How Much Is Too […]
Read MoreAuthor: Roger A. Johns, MD, PhD ASA Monitor October 2023, Vol. 87, 1–6. This isn’t FAER’s first time discussing the importance of advocacy in anesthesiology research. To help shed more light on this topic, it’s my pleasure to share a recent conversation between ASA Chief Advocacy Officer (CAO) Manuel Bonilla, FAER President James C. Eisenach, MD, […]
