AUTHORS: Kim, Namo MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2020 – Volume 130 – Issue 5 – p 1407-1414 BACKGROUND: The ventilation/perfusion mismatch in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients can exacerbate cardiac function as well as pulmonary oxygenation. We hypothesized that inhaled iloprost can ameliorate pulmonary oxygenation with lung mechanics and myocardial […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Nam, Karam MD Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2020 – Volume 130 – Issue 5 – p 1381-1388 BACKGROUND: Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia is common in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). We investigated the association between early postoperative body temperature and all-cause mortality in patients undergoing OPCAB. METHODS: We reviewed the electronic medical records […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Hussain, Nasir MD, MSc et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2020 – Volume 130 – Issue 5 – p 1304-1319 BACKGROUND: Interscalene block (ISB) is the acute pain management technique of choice for shoulder surgery, but its undesirable respiratory side effects have prompted seeking alternatives. Supraclavicular block (SCB) is proposed as an ISB alternative, […]

MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2020 – Volume 130 – Issue 5 – p 1296-1302 BACKGROUND: The proportion of women medical school graduates in the United States has grown substantially; however, representation of women in anesthesiology lags behind. We sought to investigate factors associated with women recommending against a career […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Raub, Dana Cand Med et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2020 – Volume 130 – Issue 5 – p 1415-1424 BACKGROUND: We developed and implemented a perioperative guideline for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), comprising a preoperative screening tool (BOSTN) and clinical management pathways. OSA was suspected with 2 or more of the following: body mass […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Ghamri, Yassine MSc et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2020 – Volume 130 – Issue 5 – p 1222-1233 BACKGROUND: Intraoperative hypotension is associated with postoperative complications and death. Oscillometric brachial cuffs are used to measure arterial pressure (AP) in most surgical patients but may miss acute changes in AP. We hypothesized that pulse […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Belur Nagaraj, Sunil PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2020 – Volume 130 – Issue 5 – p 1211-1221 BACKGROUND: Brain monitors tracking quantitative brain activities from electroencephalogram (EEG) to predict hypnotic levels have been proposed as a labor-saving alternative to behavioral assessments. Expensive clinical trials are required to validate any newly developed […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Solomon, Stuart C. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2020 – Volume 130 – Issue 5 – p 1201-1210 BACKGROUND: Predictive analytics systems may improve perioperative care by enhancing preparation for, recognition of, and response to high-risk clinical events. Bradycardia is a fairly common and unpredictable clinical event with many causes; it may be […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Funcke, Sandra MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2020 – Volume 130 – Issue 5 – p 1264-1273 BACKGROUND: This pilot study investigated the effect of sufentanil titration by 3 different analgesia monitoring devices or clinical signs during general anesthesia. METHODS: Forty-eight patients undergoing radical retropubic prostatectomy with sevoflurane/sufentanil anesthesia were randomly assigned into […]
Read MoreThis is important due to our current blood shortage. Medical News Today Diabetes can make it difficult for a person to control their blood sugar levels, which are often too high. People with this condition may need to use external sources of insulin to correct these levels. However, people can donate blood if they have […]
