Authors: Luigi Vetrugno, M.D. et al Anesthesiology September 2022. To the Editor: We read with great interest the article by Berg et al. about the evaluation of diaphragmatic excursion after interscalene nerve block with liposomal bupivacaine versus plain bupivacaine. In their study, the authors investigated as a primary outcome the effect of liposomal bupivacaine combined with plain bupivacaine versus plain bupivacaine […]
Read MoreAuthors: Weijia Du, M.D.; Zhiqiang Liu, M.D., Ph.D. Anesthesiology September 2022. To the Editor: We are writing to raise some concerns about the study conducted by Tan et al. Their article “Quality of Labor Analgesia with Dural Puncture Epidural versus Standard Epidural Technique in Obese Parturients: A Double-blind Randomized Controlled Study” demonstrated that dural puncture epidural did not provide additional […]
Read MoreAuthors: Hon Sen Tan, M.D., et al Anesthesiology Newly Published on September 2022. In Reply: We thank Du and Liu for their comments regarding our study assessing the quality of labor analgesia with the dural puncture epidural versus the standard epidural technique in obese parturients. They raise concerns that 6 ml·h of 0.1% ropivacaine with 2 μg·ml fentanyl administered as […]
Read MoreAuthors: T. Andrew Bowdle, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.S.E. et al Anesthesiology September 2022. To the Editor: We read with interest the study of ketamine psychedelic and analgesic effects by Olofsen et al. and the accompanying editorial by Mashour. In both articles, the authors refer to the “dissociative” effects of ketamine. Corssen and Domino3 originally used the term “dissociative” in […]
Read MoreAuthors: Albert Dahan, M.D., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology September 2022 In Reply: We thank Bowdle et al. for their interest in our article and for the important issue they raise, paraphrased as follows: what is the best anthropocentric description of the “mind-altering” effects of a heterogeneous group of compounds and drugs that act at the brain and cause […]
Read MoreAuthors: Aaron A. Berg, D.O. et al Anesthesiology September 2022. In Reply: We thank Vetrugno et al. for their relevant comments on our article. As Vetrugno et al. pointed out, the liposomal bupivacaine group started at a higher baseline diaphragmatic excursion than the bupivacaine-alone group. This was an unavoidable consequence of our randomization scheme. The difference between the groups, however, […]
Read MoreAuthors: Luis Sequera-Ramos, M.D. et al Anesthesiology August 2022. Background Sedated and awake tracheal intubation approaches are considered safest in adults with difficult airways, but little is known about the outcomes of sedated intubations in children. The primary aim of our study is to compare the first attempt success rate of tracheal intubation during sedated […]
Read MoreAuthors: Alparslan Turan, MD et al Anesthesiology August 2022. Background Intraoperative mechanical ventilation is a major component of general anesthesia. The extent to which various intraoperative tidal volumes and positive end-expiratory pressures (PEEP) on postoperative hypoxia and lung injury remains unclear. We hypothesized that adult patients having orthopedic surgery, ventilation using different tidal volumes and […]
Read MoreAuthors: Mehrotra S, Eli B. Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment with Peripheral Nerve Blocks. Pract Pain Manag. 2022 July/August;22(4). A small pilot study demonstrated that weekly trigeminal nerve block injections offer a relatively low-risk option to supplement conventional treatments and should be considered before referring for neurosurgery or escalating medication doses. Trigeminal neuralgia is a painful condition […]

Depending on the cause, a person with this symptom may also experience tingling or weakness. In some cases, these symptoms may be temporary. However, if they persist or accompanying symptoms occur, […]
