Author: Carly Werner, RD MedicalNewsToday Centralized pain syndrome is a disorder of the central nervous system (CNS). It develops due to changes in how the brain and spinal cord interpret pain signals, resulting in much higher sensitivity. The brain is constantly receiving and interpreting messages from the body. In central pain syndrome, the pain receptors […]

Editor, Hypoglycaemia should always be of specific concern for anaesthesiologists as clinical signs of hypoglycaemia are concealed during anaesthesia. A new definition of intraoperative hypoglycaemia in children was recently defined at blood glucose values less than 3.3 mmol l−1 (60 mg dl−1) by […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Mestdagh, François P et al European Journal of Anaesthesiology July 07, 2023. BACKGROUND Pain after craniotomy can be intense and its management is often suboptimal. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the available literature and develop recommendations for optimal pain management after craniotomy. DESIGN A systematic review using procedure-specific postoperative pain management (PROSPECT) methodology was […]

Abstract We present the case of a 65-year-old man undergoing open-heart surgery through a full sternotomy with the use of bilateral intercostal cryo nerve block (cryoNB) as adjunctive therapy for postoperative analgesia. CryoNB has been previously demonstrated as safe and effective […]

Read MoreAuthors: Tanaka, Ryusuke et al PAIN Reports 8(1):p e1059, January 2023. Introduction: Recent advances in stimulation techniques have improved the efficacy and expanded the applicability of spinal cord stimulation (SCS). Among these techniques, there are no reports on the efficacy of differential target multiplexed (DTM) SCS for chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) after abdominal surgery. Therefore, we present the successful use […]

BACKGROUND In anaesthesiology, time domain parameters of the ECG are frequently used for long QT diagnosis, determination of branch blocks and for identifying atrioventricular blocks. However, this analysis depends on several factors and therefore the time domain parameters are prone […]

BACKGROUND There is growing evidence that the analgesic effect of metamizole is mediated at least partly by central mechanisms, including the endocannabinoid/endovanilloid system. Consequently, metamizole may have additive or even synergistic analgesic effects with paracetamol and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). OBJECTIVE This study […]

Abstract Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), of which toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a more severe variant, is a cutaneous hypersensitivity reaction, usually triggered by certain prescribed medications. Airway management in SJS/TEN poses significant challenges, particularly when there is facial skin and oropharyngeal mucosal and/or laryngeal involvement. […]
