Authors: Ken Lee, MD et al ASA Monitor June 2021, Vol. 85, 27–29. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is an emerging non-thermal ablative technique with recent studies demonstrating its efficacy in destroying solid organ malignancies (Figure). The principle underlying IRE is applying sufficient electrical pulses to permanently increase cell membrane permeability. Subsequent formation of […]

Innovations in imaging, technological advancements in micro-instrumentation, changing patient expectations and demands, and a general shift toward minimizing hospital stay are driving and expanding interventional radiology (IR) procedural growth as a more cost-effective acute care practice with positive impact […]
Read MoreAuthors: Christian B. Woods, B.S. et al Anesthesiology June 2021, Vol. 134, 901–914. Background Ndufs4 knockout (KO) mice are defective in mitochondrial complex I function and hypersensitive to inhibition of spinal cord–mediated response to noxious stimuli by volatile anesthetics. It was hypothesized that, compared to wild-type, synaptic or intrinsic neuronal function is hypersensitive to isoflurane in […]
Read MoreAuthors: Philipp Simon, M.D., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology June 2021, Vol. 134, 887–900. Background General anesthesia may cause atelectasis and deterioration in oxygenation in obese patients. The authors hypothesized that individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) improves intraoperative oxygenation and ventilation distribution compared to fixed PEEP. Methods This secondary analysis included all obese patients recruited at University […]
Read MoreFusion Anesthesia Solutions What is the Perioperative Surgical Home? The American Society of Anesthesiologists explains the Perioperative Surgical Home model where the patient’s experience of care is coordinated by a physician-led, interdisciplinary team. The expected metrics includes improved operational efficiencies, decreased resource utilization, a reduction in length of stay and readmission, and a decrease in complications and […]
Read MoreAuthor: Richard Novak, MD The Anesthesia Consultant “I’m going to have surgery to have my gall bladder out. How long will the anesthesia last?” The query “How long does general anesthesia last?” is a common question before surgery. Modern anesthetics wear off quickly after surgery, but the answer to your question is “It depends.” It […]
Read MoreAuthor: Michael Walter Cardiovascular Business COVID-19 patients with mild infections appear to make a full cardiovascular recovery after six months, according to new research published in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging. The study’s authors found no evidence of lasting damage to the structure of the heart or its ability to function. “Disentangling the impact COVID-19 has on the […]
Read MoreAuthor: Michael Walter Cardiovascular Business Marijuana use is associated with a heightened risk of myocardial injury among individuals with no prior history of cardiovascular disease (CVD), according to new findings published in the American Journal of Cardiology. “Multiple observational studies have demonstrated an association with cannabis use and acute myocardial infarction, especially among young adults,” wrote […]
Read MoreRadius Anesthesia With as many as 70% of patients reporting severe postoperative pain following this operation, arthroscopic shoulder surgery poses a significant challenge to anesthesiologists [1]. It is one of the most painful surgeries, with its associated pain intensity rivaling that of thoracotomies and revision hip and knee arthroplasties [2]. Postoperative pain following shoulder surgery is especially […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Ying-Kun Xiao, Shou-Zhang She et al. Adv Ther. 2021 May INTRODUCTION Anterior serratus muscle plane block is a novel regional block technique for blockade of the sensory plane of the lateral cutaneous branch of the intercostal nerve (T2-T9), which effectively relieves the pain of patients and improves the quality of recovery. This study aimed […]
