AUTHORS: Murugaiyan, Abishek MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(2):p 338-345, February 2023. BACKGROUND: Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a distressing complaint in adults after endotracheal intubation. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of topical application of a eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (EMLA) cream over the endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff on the incidence and […]

Szokol, MD, JD, MBA Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation Volume 38, No. 1 • February 2023 INTRODUCTION In the second half of the last century, dopamine D2-receptor antagonists were a mainstay of the management of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV).1 However, at the start of the 21st century, they sharply declined in […]
Read MoreAuthors: Simone Gattarello, M.D., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology March 2023, Vol. 138, 289–298. Background Under the hypothesis that mechanical power ratio could identify the spontaneously breathing patients with a higher risk of respiratory failure, this study assessed lung mechanics in nonintubated patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, aiming to (1) describe their characteristics; (2) compare lung mechanics between […]
Read MoreAuthors: Kimberly Howard-Quijano, M.D., M.S. et al Anesthesiology January 2023. Background Neuraxial modulation, including spinal cord stimulation, reduces cardiac sympathoexcitation and ventricular arrhythmogenesis. There is an incomplete understanding of the molecular mechanisms through which spinal cord stimulation modulates cardiospinal neural pathways. We hypothesize that spinal cord stimulation reduces myocardial ischemia/reperfusion induced sympathetic excitation and ventricular […]
Read MoreAuthor: Avery Hurt Practical Pain Management Jan 2023 Low back pain is simultaneously one of the most common and vexing pain conditions physicians treat. According to the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of years lived with disability and is a major public health concern […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Shaefi, Shahzad MD, MPH et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(2):p 295-307, February 2023 BACKGROUND: Despite the growing contributions of critical care anesthesiologists to clinical practice, research, and administrative leadership of intensive care units (ICUs), relatively little is known about the subspecialty-specific clinical practice environment. An understanding of contemporary clinical practice is essential to recognize […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Kwon, Hyun-Jung MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(2):p 365-372, February 2023 BACKGROUND: Although the ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block (RSB) is usually regarded as an easy and safe procedure in clinical settings, there is currently no report on complications incidence. Therefore, the present study investigated complications in a large cohort and described the technical considerations […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Lee, Chen-Tse MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(2):p 355-364, February 2023. BACKGROUND: Perioperative cerebral desaturation events (CDEs) and delayed neurocognitive recovery are common among patients undergoing beach chair position (BCP) shoulder surgery and may be caused by cerebral hypoperfusion. This study tested the hypothesis that the application of goal-directed hemodynamic therapy (GDHT) would attenuate […]
Read MoreAuthors: Jonathan M. Tan, MD, MPH, MBI, FASA et al Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation Volume 38, No. 1 • February 2023 INTRODUCTION Mpox, previously known as Monkeypox, is a global health concern.1 While first detected in humans in 1970 in the Republic of the Congo, its spread to nonendemic countries in 2022 led the World Health Organization […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Xu, Biao PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(2):p 373-386, February 2023 BACKGROUND: Increasing attention has been attracted to the development of bifunctional compounds to minimize the side effects of opioid analgesics. Pharmacological studies have verified the functional interaction between opioid and cannabinoid systems in pain management, suggesting that coactivation of the opioid and cannabinoid […]
