DG Alerts A study published in the Journal of Infection detailed potential indicators for pulmonary fibrosis in survivors of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Wenhui Huang, The First Affiliated Hospital, Guangdong, China, and colleagues performed an observational cohort study of 81 survivors who recovered from severe COVID-19 pneumonia to investigate the potential indicators for post-fibrosis. The median […]
Read MoreAuthors: Jalali, Ali PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: June 30, 2020 Development of a Patient-Specific Prediction Model for Blood Transfusion Requirements During Craniofacial Surgery Using the Pediatric Craniofacial Perioperative Registry Dataset BACKGROUND: Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of ≥1 cranial sutures and often requires surgical intervention. Surgery may involve extensive osteotomies, which can lead to […]
Read MoreAuthors: Poeran, Jashvant MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: June 23, 2020 Background: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, New York State ordered the suspension of all elective surgeries to increase intensive care unit (ICU) bed capacity. Yet the potential impact of suspending elective surgery on ICU bed capacity is unclear. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed […]
Read MoreThis is important because many of our readers practice in rural hospitals. By Jim Kendrick, CHC President & CEO Times were already tough for rural hospitals when the pandemic hit, heightening concerns about sustainability. The financial impact of COVID-19 on U.S. hospitals could end up totaling more than $200 billion, and that’s only accounting for losses […]
Read MoreAuthors: Frédérique Hovaguimian, M.D. et al Anesthesiology September 2020, Vol. 133, 548–558. Background The effect of anesthetic drugs on cancer outcomes remains unclear. This trial aimed to assess postoperative circulating tumor cell counts—an independent prognostic factor for breast cancer—to determine how anesthesia may indirectly affect prognosis. It was hypothesized that patients receiving sevoflurane would have higher […]
Read MoreAuthors: Allan F. Simpao, M.D., M.B.I. et al Anesthesiology September 2020, Vol. 133, 523–533. Background Children are required to fast before elective general anesthesia. This study hypothesized that prolonged fasting causes volume depletion that manifests as low blood pressure. This study aimed to assess the association between fluid fasting duration and postinduction low blood pressure. Methods […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Liu, Shiqing PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: June 3, 2020 A Review of 187 Cases Abstract The double-lumen tubes (DLTs) are the most widely used devices to provide perioperative lung isolation. Airway rupture is a rare but life-threatening complication of DLTs. The primary aim of this review was to collect all cases reported in […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Ingrande, Jerry MD, MS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 29, 2020 BACKGROUND: Induction of anesthesia is a phase characterized by rapid changes in both drug concentration and drug effect. Conventional mammillary compartmental models are limited in their ability to accurately describe the early drug distribution kinetics. Recirculatory models have been used to account […]
Read MoreThis has nothing to do with anesthesia just wanted to share with our readers. By Denise Baez Prenatal acetaminophen exposure measured in meconium was associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, according to a study published in JAMA Pediatrics. “In this birth cohort study of 345 children, acetaminophen exposure detected in meconium was associated with increased […]
