Authors: Kuratomi H et al Cureus 17(4): e83254. April 30, 2025 Abstract We report a young cardiac surgery patient who developed severe aspiration pneumonia due to postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) despite prophylactic and therapeutic administration of multiple antiemetic agents.

Read MoreAUTHORS: Ahrens, Elena cand. med. et al Anesthesia & Analgesia April 18, 2025. BACKGROUND: Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (ND-NMBAs) are dose-dependently associated with residual paralysis, delayed recovery, and prolonged hospitalization, factors that can predispose patients to postoperative delirium. We hypothesized that neuromuscular blockade is associated with a higher risk of delirium after surgery, and that […]
Read MoreAuthors: Maldonado-Crespo C et al Cureus 17(5): e83287. May 1, 2025 Abstract Alexander’s disease is a rare and progressive neurodegenerative disorder that presents significant challenges for anesthetic management due to its effects on the central nervous system. The disease stems from mutations in the glial fibrillary acidic protein (i.e., GFAP) gene, leading to impaired myelination […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Obert, David P. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia April 25, 2025. BACKGROUND: Postoperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs) are frequent and serious complications that cause an enormous social and economic burden. A previous study demonstrated that certain electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns during emergence from general anesthesia are associated with a higher risk for PND. Compared to […]

Read MoreAuthors: Ramona Celia Moisa et al Cureus 17(4): e83109. April 28, 2025 Abstract Intrathecal opioids (ITOs), such as morphine, fentanyl, and sufentanil, are widely used as adjuvants in spinal anesthesia for cesarean sections to enhance postoperative analgesia and reduce systemic opioid exposure. Optimizing their selection and dosing is critical to balancing effective analgesia with maternal […]
Read MoreRadius Anesthesia As Americans age and the prevalence of osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint diseases increases, the demand for joint surgery continues to rise. In the United States alone, over one million total joint arthroplasty procedures are performed annually, and this number is expected to double by 2050. These procedures, which include hip and knee […]
Read MoreAuthors: Chandra R, et al Cureus 17(5): e83288. May 1, 2025 Abstract Spinal anesthesia (SA) has emerged as a viable alternative to general anesthesia (GA) for thoracolumbar spine surgeries. The double-needle technique (DNT) aims to enhance the precision and efficacy of SA in these procedures. The DNT (SA at two levels) involves performing two separate […]
