In central pain syndrome, the pain receptors […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Sigurdsson, Theodor S et al European Journal of Anaesthesiology July 11, 2023. 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: 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 […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Böck, Carl et al European Journal of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care 2(2):p e0020, April 2023. 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 […]
