The authors developed a broad suite of tools based on ICD-10 diagnostic and procedural codes for predicting adverse events and care utilization outcomes for hospitalized patients.
This review summarizes potential perioperative ocular complications as well as anesthetic implications for patients with diseases of the eye who undergo nonocular surgery.
Mastectomy carries a high risk for transitioning from acute to chronic pain. Might percutaneous cryoneurolysis be safe and effective for improving analgesia after mastectomy?
Postoperative stroke is a potentially devastating complication. Might a combination of intraoperative hypotension and either hypo- or hypercarbia be risk factors for postoperative ischemic stroke?
This paper aims to elucidate the mechanisms underlying oxygenation improvement after prone positioning in patients with COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome.
This study found no clinically meaningful difference in long-term survival between administration of general anesthesia using propofol versus inhaled volatiles for patients with breast cancer.
This review focuses on new approaches to the prevention of surgical site infection, highlighting the role of the microbiome and the changing landscape of antimicrobial resistance.
This study examined factors which most influence the probability of successful development of new medications for pain. How does the perceived abuse potential of the medication impact these variables?
A new study considers an alternative approach to CPAP therapy to treat sleep disordered breathing postoperatively. What other options might be applicable for perioperative use?
This review explores the immune system-related consequences of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs administered in the perioperative period--both beneficial and potentially harmful.
This study reports on the characteristics, management, and outcomes of COVID-19 patients treated with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for respiratory failure.
This narrative review discusses novel experimental pharmacotherapies aimed at reversal of opioid-induced respiratory depression, as alternatives to naloxone or related compounds.
What role can anesthesiologists play in reducing opioid-related harm? This review examines perioperative opioid use and practical steps anesthesiologists can take to improved postoperative outcomes.
Whether or not commonly used anesthetic agents are detrimental to neurodevelopment in children remains a source of intense debate. This review aims to summarize the issues and current evidence.
This paper provides an updated review of the postoperative management of lung transplantation recipients in the ICU, addressing mechanical ventilation, fluid and hemodynamic management, and more.
How should the anesthesiologist's role in medicine expand in the future? This editorial suggests ways in which anesthesiologists can play a larger role in improving population health.
Mission Statement:
Anesthesiology
founded in 1940, leads the world in publication of peer-reviewed novel research that transforms clinical practice and fundamental understanding in anesthesiology: the practice of perioperative, critical care, and pain medicine.
