AUTHORS: Jansen, Gerrit Dr med et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: November 30, 2020 – Volume – Issue – 10.1213 BACKGROUND: Recently, a very low incidence of 3 per 10,000 and a mortality of 30% were reported for pediatric perioperative cardiac arrest (POCA). However, high-risk patients, namely children already anesthetized on the intensive care unit (ICU), were […]

MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: March 2021 – Volume 132 – Issue 3 – p 777-787 BACKGROUND: The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a rescue therapy for cardiopulmonary failure is expanding in critical care medicine. In this case series, we describe the clinical outcomes of 21 consecutive pregnant or […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Lee, Seung-Hwa MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: April 2021 – Volume 132 – Issue 4 – p 960-968 BACKGROUND: Despite an association between obesity and increased risks for various diseases, obesity has been paradoxically reported to correlate with improved mortality in patients with established cardiovascular disease. However, its effect has not been evaluated to […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Ortved, Milla MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: November 20, 2020 – Volume – Issue – 10 BACKGROUND: Diabetes increases the risk of adverse outcomes in surgical procedures, including total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA), and the prevalence of diabetic patients undergoing these procedures is high, ranging from approximately 8% to 20%. However, there is […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Liu, Tianyu BSc et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: December 21, 2020 – Volume – Issue – 10 BACKGROUND: The intraoperative 15° left-tilt position during cesarean delivery has more recently been questioned regarding its effect on fetal acid-base balance and is a frequent source of complaints by surgeons. We hypothesized that a 30° left-tilt position during […]

Jeffery MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: November 18, 2020 – Volume – Issue – 10 BACKGROUND: Understanding the impact of key metrics on operating room (OR) efficiency is important to optimize utilization and reduce costs, particularly in freestanding ambulatory surgery centers. The aim of this study was to assess the association between […]
Read MoreDG Journal Club AUTHORS: Philip M Procento, Kevin L Rand et al. J Pain. 2021 Mar 13 The bidirectional relationship between pain and working memory (WM) deficits is well-documented but poorly understood. Pain catastrophizing – exaggerated, negative cognitive and emotional responses toward pain – may contribute to WM deficits by occupying finite, shared cognitive resources. […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Ing, Caleb MD, MS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 22, 2021 – Volume – Issue – 10 BACKGROUND: Exposure to surgery and anesthesia in early childhood has been found to be associated with an increased risk of behavioral deficits. While the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned against prenatal exposure to anesthetic […]

BACKGROUND: Intraoperative methadone, a long-acting opioid, is increasingly used for postoperative analgesia, although the optimal methadone dosing strategy in children is still unknown. The use of a single large dose of intraoperative methadone is controversial […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Richards, Justin E. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: December 30, 2020 – Volume – Issue – 10. BACKGROUND: Hyperglycemia is associated with mortality after trauma; however, few studies have simultaneously investigated the association of depth of shock and acute hyperglycemia. We evaluated lactate, as a surrogate measure for depth of shock, and glucose levels […]
