Page 1 of 50 Previous | Next 08-03-2010 Intranasal cooling with or without intravenous cold fluids during and after cardiac arrest in pigs: epidemiology, pathophysiology, treatment, and prognostication. A scientific statement from the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation; the American Heart Association Emergency Cardiovascular Care Committee; the Council on Cardiovascular Surgery and Anesthesia; the Council on Cardiopulmonary, Perioperative, and Critical Care; the Council on Clinical Cardiology; the Council on Stroke RESTORATION of circulation after cardiac arrest is just the first step in a successful resuscitation. A pathophysiological complex phase recently named as the ‘post-cardiac arrest syndrome’ begins with the return of circulation.1 Mild therapeutic hypothermia is recommended for the treatment... Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica 2010; 54(4): 494-501 08-03-2010 Airway stents: anaesthetic implications Interventional management of airway lesions occluding the tracheobronchial tree include argon plasma coagulation, forceps debulking, brachytherapy, cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and the use of tracheobronchial stents. This review considers airway stenting and the implications for the anaesthetist.... Continuing Education in Anaesthesia, Critical Care and Pain online 2010; aop: 10.1093/bjaceaccp/mkq006 08-03-2010 Teaching airway management to novices: a simulator manikin study comparing the ‘sniffing position’ and ‘win with the chin’ analogies Airway patency is essential in anaesthesia, and it is often performed by junior trainees under emergency conditions.1–3 Accordingly, tracheal intubation is one of the first things taught to novices. The recommended position of the head and neck before intubation was first published by Magill in... BJA: British Journal of Anaesthesia 2010; aop: 10.1093/bja/aeq020 08-03-2010 Long-term Cognitive Decline: Is There a Link to Surgery and Anesthesia? POSTOPERATIVE cognitive dysfunction or decline (POCD) refers to decline in a variety of neuropsychological domains, including memory, executive functioning, and speed of processing, and should be distinguished from postoperative delirium, which is an acute confusional state with alterations in attention... Anesthesiology 2009; 111(5): 931-2 08-03-2010 Effect of preoperative multimedia information on perioperative anxiety in patients undergoing procedures under regional anaesthesia Many patients experience substantial anxiety before operation,1–7 and this is reported to affect 60–80% of surgical patients.6 8 Increased anxiety before surgery is associated with pathophysiological responses such as hypertension and dysrrhythmias9 and may cause patients to refuse planned... BJA: British Journal of Anaesthesia 2010; 104(3): 369-74 08-03-2010 Knowledge of residual curarization: an Italian survey: a prospective study of orthopedic surgical patients randomized to receive pancuronium or rocuronium NEUROMUSCULAR blocking agents (NMBAs) are commonly used by anesthetists during surgery. Even though post-operative residual curarization (PORC) is frequently observed in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU),1 there is still little information available describing the use of neuromuscular monitoring and... Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica 2010; 54(3): 307-12 08-03-2010 Intraosseous Infusions: A Review for the Anesthesiologist with a Focus on Pediatric Use The potential for the use of the intraosseous (IO) route for fluid resuscitation and the administration of medications was first entertained in 1922 by Drinker et al.1 during pathologic examination of the marrow cavity of the sternum. This was followed by a report demonstrating the improvement in the... Anesthesia & Analgesia 2010; 110(2): 391-401 08-03-2010 Prescription and Administration of Opioids to Hospital In-patients, and Barriers to Effective Use Significant pain is common in both medical and surgical acute hospital inpatients and is often undertreated. Pain of at least moderate severity has been described in 86% of patients post-operatively [1] and in 43% of general medical in-patients [2]. Patient-related factors that may contribute to undertreatment... Pain Medicine 2010; 11(1): 58-66 08-03-2010 Echocardiographically Derived Parameters of Fluid Responsiveness The prediction of fluid responsiveness during resuscitation has become an increasingly studied topic over the last several years. Optimizing hemodynamics is the foundation of managing the critically ill patients in the operating room and in the intensive care unit (ICU). This is especially true as perioperative... International Anesthesia Clinics 2010; 48(1): 37-44 08-03-2010 Mallampati class changes during pregnancy, labour, and after delivery: can these be predicted? The Mallampati classification is a valuable estimate of the tongue size relative to the oral cavity.1 The use of the Mallampati class alone has limited discriminative power for difficult laryngoscopy, defined as the impossibility for an experienced clinician to visualize the larynx in an appropriately...
