AUTHORS: Spijkerman, Sandra FCA(SA) et al Anesthesia & Analgesia March 08, 2023. BACKGROUND: Safe anesthesia is imperative for the Global Surgery agenda and Sustainable Development Goal 3. Due to a shortage of specialists in South Africa (SA), anesthetic services are often provided by nonspecialist doctors, often newly qualified and frequently without immediate supervision. The burden […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Ren, Xinghua MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 779-788, April 2023. BACKGROUND: Ketamine is an intravenous anesthetic. However, whether ketamine can induce neurotoxicity and neurobehavioral deficits remains largely unknown. Delirium is a syndrome of acute brain dysfunction associated with anesthesia and surgery in patients, and tau protein may contribute to postoperative delirium. Finally, […]

BACKGROUND: In low-middle-income countries (LMICs), perioperative clinical information is almost universally collected on paper health records (PHRs). The lack of accessible digital databases limits LMICs in leveraging data to predict and improve patient outcomes after surgery. In this feasibility study, our aims […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Son, Jongbae MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 719-727, April 2023. BACKGROUND: Pulmonary resection surgery causes severe postoperative pain and usually requires opioid-based analgesia, particularly in the early postoperative period. However, the administration of large amounts of opioids is associated with various adverse events. We hypothesized that patients who underwent pulmonary resection under an […]

People can try to manage chronic pain by exercising, enjoying an active social life, and following any medication and treatment regimens their doctor prescribes. Doctors may classify pain as acute (short-term), subacute (medium-term), […]
Read MoreAuthor: Rosie Talaga Becker’s ASC Review A trial for an anesthesiologist who “danced, gestured and appeared to sing along to music” in a video filmed during a 2017 surgery began July 26, according to a report from Courtroom View Network. Roland Pinkney, MD, the anesthesiologist in the procedure, accompanied Windell Boutte, MD, the procedure’s surgeon, in […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Ruan, Alexandra MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 701-710, April 2023. Background: Night float call systems are becoming increasingly common at training programs with the goal of reducing fatigue related to sleep deprivation and sleep disturbance. Previous studies have shown that trainees obtain less sleep during the night float rotation and have decreased sleep […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Yamamoto, Natsuko MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 772-778, April 2023. BACKGROUND: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction may be associated with neuroinflammation, and sevoflurane suppresses surgery-induced inflammation. We hypothesized that low concentrations of sevoflurane would result in more impaired postoperative cognitive function compared to high concentrations. METHODS: Aged male Sprague–Dawley rats (n = 21, 17–22 months) […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Schmidt, Marc T. et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 745-752, April 2023. BACKGROUND: Sugammadex and neostigmine are routinely used to reverse residual neuromuscular blocks at the end of surgery. Sugammadex has been linked with prolongation of laboratory coagulation markers, but clinical relevance on postoperative blood loss and transfusions remains unclear. METHODS: In this retrospective, single-center, […]
