blood pressure
"It seems feasible to determine the effect of personalized perioperative blood pressure management maintaining intraoperative MAP above the preoperative mean nighttime MAP on postoperative complications in a large multicenter trial."
PPD
"Use of GA for cesarean delivery is independently associated with a significantly increased risk of PPD requiring hospitalization and suicidality."
dexmedetomidine
"Intravenous dexmedetomidine at a dosage of 0.4 µg/kg significantly prolongs the duration of spinal sensory blockade. Although postoperative analgesia was not different, it provided hemodynamic stability without increasing the side effects."
dysphagia
"Patients with 3 months preoperative dysphagia with and without malnutrition had poor postoperative outcomes. These findings highlight the rationale for integrating dysphagia screening and intervention into routine preoperative protocols to mitigate the risk of adverse postoperative outcomes."
preoperative evaluation
"consultations that were requested did not affect hemodynamic and respiratory complications in the early perioperative period or on the duration of hospital stay."
scopolamine
"Scopolamine is a widely used antiemetic in anesthetic practice, particularly for postoperative and post-discharge nausea and vomiting. Despite its frequent usage and recognized efficacy, concerns have emerged regarding the potential for increased side effects, particularly in elderly patients. "
NSAIDS
Editorial Takeaway Evidence for NSAID-related adverse effects is conflicting and of poor quality. They are likely safer than previously thought. Key Opinions * NSAIDs or COX-2 inhibitors should be administered routinely unless there are well-founded contraindications. * Some studies suggest NSAIDs may increase the risk of acute kidney injury and persistent postoperative
ketamine
Preoperative ketamine gargle before induction of general anesthesia is effective to reduce the occurrence of postoperative sore throat (POST) in adult patients undergoing surgery with an endotracheal tube.
preoperative evaluation
pre-operative cognitive impairment is associated with poor cognitive outcomes in the long term, emphasising the need for cognitive assessments to be embedded into routine peri-operative care for older adults
Pulse Oximeter Plethysmography
Pulse oximeter plethysmography (POP) provides more than just oxygen saturation data. By interpreting its waveform, anesthesia providers can learn about a patient’s cardiovascular status and fluid responsiveness.
glucocorticoids
"glucocorticoids reduced the POD incidence. However, the effects of glucocorticoids on POD appear to vary according to the type of surgery."
norepinephrine
Background & Objectives: "Hemorrhagic shock is not a very rare occurrence in big hospitals. It might be encountered in the emergency room (ER) or in the operating rooms (OR). A rapid response and systematic management will save the life of the victim. The objective of this research was to
