DG Alerts Among patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an initial strategy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) significantly reduced the risk of tracheal intubation or mortality compared with conventional oxygen therapy, but there was no significant difference between an initial strategy of high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) compared with […]

MS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: February 2022 – Volume 134 – Issue 2 – p 380-388 BACKGROUND: The retrospective analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals acquired from patients under general anesthesia is crucial in understanding the patient’s unconscious brain’s state. However, the creation of such database is often tedious and cumbersome and […]

We aimed to test the hypothesis […]

Recent studies in patients receiving venovenous ECMO did not […]

Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech. 2022 Feb PURPOSE The perioperative outcomes and risk factors associated with adverse events (AEs) after initial laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) are unclear. We studied the outcomes of LLR and identified the predictive factors for AEs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from […]

DO, FAOCA et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: February 2022 – Volume 134 – Issue 2 – p 348-356 BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the personal and professional lives of all health care workers. Anesthesiologists frequently perform virus-aerosolizing procedures (eg, intubation and extubation) that place them at increased risk […]

However, the value of screening with troponin […]

MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: February 2022 – Volume 134 – Issue 2 – p 235-240 Other physicians often ask physician executives, “How did you get where you are?” In anesthesiology, we often hear this question from young practitioners thinking about their career options or older physicians who want to contribute […]

However, the association between HL and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) adherence and postoperative outcomes has not been investigated […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Kouz, Karim MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: February 2022 – Volume 134 – Issue 2 – p 322-329 BACKGROUND: Cardiac output is an important hemodynamic variable and determines oxygen delivery. In contrast to blood pressure, cardiac output is rarely measured even in high-risk surgical patients, suggesting that clinicians consider blood pressure to be a […]
