AUTHORS: Aulenkamp, Jana L. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2022 – Volume 134 – Issue 5 – p 974-986 BACKGROUND: Chronic posttraumatic/postsurgical pain (CPSP) is common after traumatic or surgical damage. Exposure to both trauma and surgery, with the potential for repeated bone and nerve damage, may increase the risk of CPSP after fracture-related […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Zorrilla-Vaca, Andres MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2022 – Volume 134 – Issue 5 – p 940-951 BACKGROUND: Opioids are the most commonly prescribed analgesics in the United States. Current guidelines have proposed education initiatives to reduce the risk of chronic opioid consumption, yet there is lack of efficacy data on such interventions. […]

Antifibrinolytic drugs are part of a multifaceted approach aimed at reducing bleeding, though sufficiently sized pediatric studies are sparse, and […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Desebbe, Olivier MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2022 – Volume 134 – Issue 5 – p 964-973 BACKGROUND: Vasopressors are a cornerstone for the management of vasodilatory hypotension. Vasopressor infusions are currently adjusted manually to achieve a predefined arterial pressure target. We have developed a closed-loop vasopressor (CLV) controller to help correct hypotension […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Alalade, Emmanuel MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: April 2022 BACKGROUND: Chronic opioid use among adolescents is a leading preventable public health problem in the United States. Consequently, a sizable proportion of surgical patients in this age group may have a comorbid opioid use disorder (OUD). No previously published study has examined the prevalence of […]

Prior work using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in patients under general anesthesia has indicated that ablation results in activity in pain-related cortical regions, presumably due to inadequate […]
Read MoreAuthor: James Kingsland MedicalNewsToday Migraine is a condition that causes a pulsating or throbbing headache, usually on one side of the head. The headache often accompanies other symptoms, such as nausea, hypersensitivity to light and sound, and vomiting. A single episode can last several days with severe cases affecting a person’s ability to work or study. […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Pedersen, Sofie S. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: April 2022 BACKGROUND: Two trials reported that a high inspiratory oxygen fraction (Fio2) does not promote myocardial infarction or death. Observational studies can provide larger statistical strength, but associations can be due to unobserved confounding. Therefore, we evaluated the association between intraoperative Fio2 and cardiovascular complications in […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Zelber-Sagi, Shira PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: April 2022 BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can progress to advanced fibrosis, which, in the nonsurgical population, is associated with poor hepatic and extrahepatic outcomes. Despite its high prevalence, NAFLD and related liver fibrosis may be overlooked during the preoperative evaluation, and the role of liver […]

The purpose of […]
