Page 1 of 50 Previous | Next 21-07-2010 Cost estimates of spinal versus general anaesthesia for fractured neck of femur surgery Approximately 77 000 patients require surgery for proximal femoral fracture annually in the UK [1-4], a figure projected to rise to approximately 95 000 by 2030 as the population ages [5]. For similar demographic reasons, it has been estimated that the incidence of proximal femoral fracture worldwide... Anaesthesia 2010; 65(8): 810-4 21-07-2010 Case Scenario: Acute Postoperative Negative Pressure Pulmonary Edema FORMATION of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema has been observed after a variety of inciting events, including upper airway obstruction (negative pressure pulmonary edema [NPPE]),1 acute lung injury,2 anaphylaxis,3 fluid maldistribution,4 and severe central nervous system trauma (neurogenic pulmonary edema).5... Anesthesiology 2010; 113(1): 200-7 21-07-2010 Rapid Chemical Antagonism of Neuromuscular Blockade by l-Cysteine Adduction to and Inactivation of the Olefinic (Double-bonded) Isoquinolinium Diester Compounds Gantacurium (AV430A), CW 002, and CW 011 ❖ The rate of l-cysteine adduction to gantacurium and to two new analogues (CW 002 and CW 011) in vitro was inversely related to the duration of block in monkeys... Anesthesiology 2010; 113(1): 58-73 21-07-2010 Association between Epidural Analgesia and Cancer Recurrence after Colorectal Cancer Surgery ❖ Epidural analgesia was associated with reduced cancer occurrence in older subjects (older than 64 yr), suggesting an effect of age or tumor type... Anesthesiology 2010; 113(1): 27-34 21-07-2010 Postoperative residual curarization from intermediate-acting neuromuscular blocking agents delays recovery room discharge Postoperative residual curarization (PORC) may delay postoperative recovery room (PACU) discharge.This observational study measured the effect of PORC on discharge times.Length of stay was significantly longer in patients with T4/T1 <0.9 on admission to PACU.The authors recommend increased use... BJA: British Journal of Anaesthesia 2010; aop: 10.1093/bja/aeq157 21-07-2010 Fibrinolysis during anaphylaxis, and its spontaneous resolution, as demonstrated by thromboelastography Anaphylaxis is associated with fibrinolysis.Fibrinolysis is not always associated with increased clinical bleeding. Its treatment may be unnecessary.TEG is a useful monitoring tool to detect fibrinolysis. It should be used with the developing clinical picture.A large and ever-growing number of agents... BJA: British Journal of Anaesthesia 2010; aop: 10.1093/bja/aeq138 21-07-2010 Predictors of Pain Severity 3 Months after Serious Injury Pain is an almost invariable consequence of acute injury and will become persistent in a proportion of patients [1,2]. In population surveys, at least a fifth of responders identify an injury as the antecedent of chronic pain [3]. The pain after serious injury can be differentiated from other causes... Pain Medicine 2010; 11(7): 990-1000 21-07-2010 Subclinical Neurocognitive Dysfunction After Carotid Endarterectomy-The Impact of Shunting Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is an efficient method of stroke prevention in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis.1 Although the incidence of major complications is low (1% to 2%), the effect of the procedure on neurocognitive functions is less clear.2 There are conflicting results reporting improvement,3–5... Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology 2010; 22(3): 195-201 21-07-2010 Critical incident reporting and learning Critical incident reporting, key in improving safety, is under-utilized in health-care systems.Reported incidents should be handled in non-punitive manner.The analysis should take human factors approach, using standardized framework.Feedback, regular and detailed, is crucial in engaging clinicians... BJA: British Journal of Anaesthesia 2010; 105(1): 69-75 21-07-2010 Parental calculation of pediatric paracetamol dose: a randomized trial comparing the Parental Analgesia Slide with product information leaflets There is continuing evidence that children do not receive adequate postoperative pain relief following discharge from hospital (1-3). Under treatment of pain is unacceptable, has undesirable long-term effects (4,5), and exposes the child to the risk of an adverse drug reaction without the benefit of...
