Read MoreAUTHORS: Burk, Kyle M., MS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: January 8, 2019 BACKGROUND: Supplemental oxygen is administered during procedural sedation to prevent hypoxemia. Continuous flow oxygen, the most widespread method, is generally adequate but distorts capnography. Pulsed flow oxygen is novel and ideally will not distort capnography. We have developed a prototype oxygen administration system designed […]

Read MoreAuthors: Vlisides, Phillip E., MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: May 2019 – Volume 128 – Issue 5 – p 944–952 BACKGROUND: Postoperative delirium is an important public health concern without effective prevention strategies. This study tested the hypothesis that perioperative epidural use would be associated with decreased risk of delirium through postoperative day 3. METHODS: This […]

Read MoreI wanted to share this because I thought it was very interesting. By Ana Sandoiu Medical News Today New research suggests that a simple blood test, which doctors currently use to diagnose heart attacks, may be useful in predicting the risk of cardiovascular disease. New research suggests a simple blood test could accurately predict who will […]
