Read MoreAUTHORS: Chen, Dong Xu MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: December 2021 BACKGROUND: Hypoxemia can occur during gastroscopy under intravenous anesthesia. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate whether oxygenation using a nasal mask can reduce the incidence of hypoxemia during gastroscopy under intravenous anesthesia compared with a traditional nasal cannula. METHODS: A […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Aulenkamp, Jana L. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: December 2021 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 surgery. But the (long-term) incidences of CPSP and neuropathic […]
