People with refractory migraine can experience an aura with a severe headache. Migraine is a neurological condition involving severe headaches and other symptoms that can affect a person’s day-to-day life. It is a leading cause of disability […]
Read MoreAuthor: Amanda S. Xi MD blog amanda.com Why the marriage of anesthesia and critical care makes sense. Those 7 reasons I love about my job as a critical care anesthesiologist: 📌 Continuity of care 📌 Diversity in working environments 📌 Opportunities to learn from team members 📌 Opportunities to teach 📌 Critical care experience readily translates to the OR 📌 Freedom […]
Read MoreAuthor: Michael Walter Cardiovascular Business Coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a more appropriate revascularization strategy for three-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) than percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) guided by fractional flow reserve (FFR), according to a new analysis of 1,500 patients. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, represents the latest chapter in one […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Wardhan, Richa MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2022 – Volume 134 – Issue 1 – p 188-193 BACKGROUND: Information on the safety of placement, maintenance, and removal of peripheral nerve blocks in the presence of therapeutic or prophylactic antithrombotics is limited to case reports. METHODS: In this retrospective, descriptive study, we examined the […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Fatima, Huma MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2022 – Volume 134 – Issue 1 – p 178-187 BACKGROUND: Graduate medical education is being transformed from a time-based training model to a competency-based training model. While the application of ultrasound in the perioperative arena has become an expected skill set for anesthesiologists, clinical exposure […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Cooter Wright, Mary MS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2022 – Volume 134 – Issue 1 – p 149-158 BACKGROUND: Some older adults show exaggerated responses to drugs that act on the brain. The brain’s response to anesthetic drugs is often measured clinically by processed electroencephalogram (EEG) indices. Thus, we developed a processed EEG–based […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Yan, Xinyu MS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2022 – Volume 134 – Issue 1 – p 102-113 BACKGROUND: Risk prediction models for postoperative mortality after intra-abdominal surgery have typically been developed using preoperative variables. It is unclear if intraoperative data add significant value to these risk prediction models. METHODS: With IRB approval, an […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Chao, Jerry Y. MD, MS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2022 BACKGROUND: Electroencephalogram (EEG) discontinuity can occur at high concentrations of anesthetic drugs, reflecting suppression of electrocortical activity. This EEG pattern has been reported in children and reflects a deep state of anesthesia. Isoelectric events on the EEG, a more extreme degree of voltage […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: O’Bryan, Liam J. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2022 – Volume 134 – Issue 1 – p 69-81 BACKGROUND: The perioperative inflammatory response may be implicated in adverse outcomes including neurocognitive dysfunction and cancer recurrence after oncological surgery. The immunomodulatory role of anesthetic agents has been demonstrated in vitro; however, its clinical relevance […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Stone, Amanda L. PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 2022 – Volume 134 – Issue 1 – p 133-140 BACKGROUND: Opioid analgesics are commonly prescribed for postoperative analgesia following pediatric surgery and often result in leftover opioid analgesics in the home. To reduce the volume of leftover opioids and overall community opioid burden, […]
