AUTHORS: Carella, Michele MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: February 2021 – Volume 132 – Issue 2 – p 500-511 BACKGROUND: The anesthetic management of supratentorial craniotomy (CR) necessitates tight intraoperative hemodynamic control. This type of surgery may also be associated with substantial postoperative pain. We aimed at evaluating the influence of regional scalp block […]
Read MoreDG Alerts Findings from a study published in HeartRhythm showed that atrial fibrillation (AF) occurred in 17.6% of patients hospitalised with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and that AF, particularly new-onset AF, was an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality. The study, conducted at 13 hospitals in the Northwell Health system, included 9,564 patients admitted between March 1 and […]

Yet the potential impact of suspending elective […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Nurok, Michael MBChB, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: November 2020 – Volume 131 – Issue 5 – p 1334-1336 Until recently, conventional wisdom held that the United States had more intensive care unit (ICU) beds than it really needed. With higher supply of ICU beds per capita than other high-income countries, it appeared […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Sessler, Daniel I. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: October 2020 Evaluating Clinician Skill From Electronic Medical Records BACKGROUND: Avoiding intraoperative hypotension might serve as a measure of clinician skill. We, therefore, estimated the range of hypotension in patients of nurse anesthetists, and whether observed differences were associated with a composite of serious complications. […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Furutani, Kenta MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: October 2020 BACKGROUND: An epidurally administered local anesthetic acts primarily on the epidural nerve roots and can act directly on the spinal cord through the dural sleeve. We hypothesized that epidurally administered ropivacaine would reduce the amplitude of transcranial electrical motor–evoked potentials by blocking nerve […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Gao, Xian MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: October 2020 – BACKGROUND: Control of bleeding during laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is important for patient safety. It remains unknown what the effects of mechanical ventilation with varying tidal volumes on bleeding during LLR. Thus, this study aims to investigate whether mechanical ventilation with low tidal […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Hannan, Edward L. PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: December 2020 – Volume 131 – Issue 6 – p 1883-1889 BACKGROUND: Complete handover of anesthesia care to a second anesthesiologist has been demonstrated to be associated with worse short-term adverse outcomes among cardiac surgery patients, but little information from multi-institutional studies is available. METHODS: […]
Read MoreDG Alerts Maternal immunoglobulin (Ig)G antibodies to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) were transferred across the placenta after asymptomatic as well as symptomatic infection during pregnancy, according to a study published in JAMA Pediatrics. The study also found that cord blood antibody concentrations correlated with maternal antibody concentrations and with duration between onset of […]
Read MoreDG Alerts Liver function test (LFT) abnormalities at hospital admission, in particular gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and albumin, were associated with a severe course of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, according to a study published in Gut. “In our prospective coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cohort, 58% of patients had LFT abnormalities at the time of […]
