DG News Authors: Nancy Melville Critically-ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who are over-sedated are at an increased risk of delirium, regardless of their age, according to a study presented at the 40th International Symposium on Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine. “This study shows that, besides age, over-sedation […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Oh, Eun Jung MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: September 2021 Abstract BACKGROUND: Medication dosing errors can occur during microinfusions when there is vertical pump displacement or multidrug infusion through a single intravenous path. We compared flow rate variability between new-generation cylinder-type infusion pumps and conventional infusion pumps under simulated conditions. METHODS: We evaluated […]
Read MoreAuthors: Wachtendorf, Luca J. cand.med et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: September 2021 BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether intraoperative arterial hypotension is associated with postoperative delirium. We hypothesized that intraoperative hypotension within a range frequently observed in clinical practice is associated with increased odds of delirium after surgery. METHODS: Adult noncardiac surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia at […]
Read MoreAuthors: Jacquier, Sophie MD; Anesthesia & Analgesia: September 9, 2021 BACKGROUND: Listening to music may reduce anxiety during medical procedures. However, the magnitude of any effect may differ with respect to patient and procedure. We evaluated the effect of a musical intervention on patient anxiety during a central venous catheter or dialysis catheter implantation in an […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: White, L. D. MBBS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: September 2, 2021 BACKGROUND: The erector spinae block is an efficacious analgesic option for the management of rib fracture–related pain. Despite there being minimal published data specifically addressing the safety profile of this block, many societies have made statements regarding its safety and its use as […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Tan, HuiLing MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: September 2021 BACKGROUND: The maternal pain threshold gradually increases during pregnancy, especially in late pregnancy. A series of mechanisms underlying pregnancy-induced analgesia have been reported. However, these mechanisms are still not completely clear, and the underlying molecular mechanisms need further investigation. We examined the relationship between the […]
Read MoreAuthors: Odinakachukwu Ehie, MD, FASA et al ASA Monitor October 2021, Vol. 85, 45–48. Why does it matter? The concept of health equity involves promoting the elimination of health disparities, which are strongly associated with social disadvantage, and ensuring all members of society experience a fair opportunity to be as healthy as possible. Health disparities […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Miyoshi, Hirotsugu MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: August 26, 2021 Abstract BACKGROUND: We investigated the relationship between the loaded pressure and flow rate in various catheters and the entire infusion line including the catheters, in several infusion solutions and packed red blood cells. METHODS: We connected the infusion line and catheter to the […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Safavi, Kyan C. MD, MBA et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: October 2021 – Volume 133 – Issue 4 – p 933-939 BACKGROUND: The traditional paradigm of hospital surgical ward care consists of episodic bedside visits by providers with periodic perusals of the patient’s electronic health record (EHR). Vital signs and laboratory results are directly pushed […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Wood, Cristina MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: September 1, 2021 BACKGROUND: Nitrous oxide (N2O) has been used nationally as an analgesic in many clinical settings. While neuraxial analgesia is still the most commonly used labor analgesic in the United States, there is increasing use of N2O in labor. Given the reduction in the partial […]
