Read MoreAuthors: Domenico Luca Grieco, MD et al Anesthesiology July 2023. Background. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) benefits in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are driven by lung dynamic strain reduction: this depends on the variable extent of alveolar recruitment. The recruitment-to-inflation (R/I) ratio estimates recruitability across a 10-cmH2O PEEP range through a simplified maneuver. Whether recruitability […]

A recent study in obstetric patients examined the effects of a policy change at an institution that moved from universal type and screen to selective type and screen based on risk stratification. According to this study, which of the following events MOST likely increased after instituting selective type and […]
Read MoreAuthor: Lisa Caplan, MD, FASA ASA Monitor August 2023, Vol. 87, 19–20. The 1980s heralded tremendous growth and proliferation of computer technology due to rapid advancements in software and hardware. By 1985, home computers were becoming widely available, and programmers were busy developing software to facilitate health care management. Upon the introduction of this one-of-a-kind technology, […]
Read MoreAuthors: Kwame Wiredu, M.B.Ch.B., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology August 2023. To the Editor: Postoperative delirium after cardiac surgery is associated with long-term cognitive deficits, prolonged hospitalization and institutionalization, and increased mortality. Although mechanisms to explain postoperative delirium are unclear, studies suggest that underlying patient vulnerabilities such as frailty, depression, and subclinical Alzheimer’s dementia contribute to […]
Read MoreASA Monitor August 2023, Vol. 87, 33–34. Case presentation A 30-year-old male BMI 31 kg/m2 weighing 95 kg with no history of cardiopulmonary disease received a preoperative interscalene block followed by a general endotracheal anesthetic at an ambulatory surgical facility for an arthroscopic subacromial decompression and labral repair. The block was placed uneventfully with ultrasound guidance with […]
