BACKGROUND: Obesity distorts airways and slightly complicates intubations in adults, but whether obesity complicates pediatric intubations remains unclear. We, therefore, tested the primary hypothesis that increasing age- and sex-specific body mass index (BMI) percentile is associated with difficult intubation, defined as >1 intubation attempt. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of pediatric patients between 2 and 18 years of age who had noncardiac surgery with oral endotracheal intubation...

Igor Kissin
The concept that the state of general anesthesia consists of a number of components representing the distinct and desired central effects of general anesthetics was formulated when it was common to believe that all components of anesthesia have a lipid-centered mechanism of action. The transformation of this concept was associated with changes in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying general anesthetic action. First came the shift from a lipid- to a protein-centered mechanism of action, which opened the way to various molecular targets associated with general anesthesia...

BACKGROUND: We investigated the associations between postoperative delirium (POD) and both the relative ratio of the alpha (α)-power of electroencephalography (EEG) and inflammatory markers in a prospective, single-center observational study. METHODS: We enrolled 84 patients who underwent radical cancer surgeries with reconstruction for esophageal cancer, oral floor cancer, or pharyngeal cancer under total intravenous anesthesia. We collected the perioperative EEG data and the perioperative data of the inflammatory markers, including neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, presepsin, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR)...

BACKGROUND: Acute myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery, which is most often symptomatically silent, is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. However, it is not known if routine postoperative troponin testing will affect patient outcomes. METHODS: We assembled a cohort of patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy or abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in Ontario, Canada, from 2010 to 2017. Hospitals were categorized into high, medium, and low troponin testing intensity based on the proportion of patients who received postoperative troponin testing...

BACKGROUND: Safe anesthesia is imperative for the Global Surgery agenda and Sustainable Development Goal 3. Due to a shortage of specialists in South Africa (SA), anesthetic services are often provided by nonspecialist doctors, often newly qualified and frequently without immediate supervision. The burden of disease in the developing world demands fit-for-purpose, day-one medical graduates. Although undergraduate anesthesia training is mandatory for medical students in SA, no outcomes are specified, and these are decided autonomously at each medical school...

BACKGROUND: Infants under spinal anesthesia appear to be sedated despite the absence of systemic sedative medications. In this prospective observational study, we investigated the electroencephalogram (EEG) of infants under spinal anesthesia and hypothesized that we would observe EEG features similar to those seen during sleep. METHODS: We computed the EEG power spectra and spectrograms of 34 infants undergoing infraumbilical surgeries under spinal anesthesia (median age 11...

BACKGROUND: The management of perioperative iron deficiency is a component of the concept of patient blood management. The objective of this study was to update French data on the prevalence of iron deficiency in patients scheduled for major surgery. METHODS: The CARENFER PBM study was a prospective cross-sectional study in 46 centers specialized in orthopedic, cardiac, urologic/abdominal, or gynecological surgery. The primary end point was the prevalence of iron deficiency at the time of surgery (D-1/D0) defined as serum ferritin <100 µg/L and/or transferrin saturation (TSAT) <20%...

BACKGROUND: Many intensive care unit patients are awake (ie, alert and engaging in conversation), actively experiencing many facets of their critical care. The Patient Dignity Inventory can be used to elicit sources of distress in these patients. We examined the administrative question as to which awake intensive care unit patients should be evaluated and potentially treated (eg, through palliative care consultation) for distress. Should the decision to screen for distress be based on patient demographics or treatment conditions? METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of 155 adult patients from 5 intensive care units of one hospital from 2019 to 2020...

BACKGROUND: Nociception is the physiological response to nociceptive stimuli, normally experienced as pain. During general anesthesia, patients experience and respond to nociceptive stimuli by increasing blood pressure and heart rate if not controlled by preemptive analgesia. The PMD-200 system from Medasense (Ramat Gan, Israel) evaluates the balance between nociceptive stimuli and analgesia during general anesthesia and generates the nociception level (NOL) index from a single finger probe...

BACKGROUND: Increased burnout and decreased professional fulfillment among intensive care physicians is partly due to intensive care unit (ICU) workload. Although the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic increased ICU workload, it also may have increased feelings of personal fulfillment due to positive public perceptions of physicians caring for COVID patients. We surveyed critical care anesthesiologists to identify the effect of provider demographics, ICU workload, and COVID-19-related workload, on professional fulfillment and burnout...

Formal training in the subspecialty of pediatric anesthesiology began >60 years ago. Over the years, the duration and clinical work has varied, but what has stayed constant is a mission to develop clinically competent and professionally responsible pediatric anesthesiologists. Since accreditation in 1997, there has been additional guidance by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and greater accountability to the public that we, indeed, are producing competent and professional pediatric anesthesiologists...

BACKGROUND: There are no data on the effect of balanced nonopioid general anesthesia with lidocaine in cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The main study objective was to evaluate the association between nonopioid general balanced anesthesia and the postoperative complications in relation to opioid side effects. METHODS: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass between 2019 and 2021 were identified. After exclusion of patients for heart transplantation, left ventricular assistance device, and off-pump surgery, we classified patients according to an opioid general balanced anesthesia or a nonopioid balanced anesthesia with lidocaine...

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary resection surgery causes severe postoperative pain and usually requires opioid-based analgesia, particularly in the early postoperative period. However, the administration of large amounts of opioids is associated with various adverse events. We hypothesized that patients who underwent pulmonary resection under an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program consumed fewer opioids than patients who received conventional treatment. METHODS: A total of 2147 patients underwent pulmonary resection surgery between August 2019 and December 2020...

BACKGROUND: General anesthetics (eg, propofol and volatile anesthetics) enhance the slow-delta oscillations of the cortical electroencephalogram (EEG), which partly results from the enhancement of (γ-aminobutyric acid [GABA]) γ-aminobutyric acid-ergic (GABAergic) transmission. There is a GABAergic excitatory-inhibitory shift during postnatal development. Whether general anesthetics can enhance slow-delta oscillations in the immature brain has not yet been unequivocally determined...

This article addresses the issue of patient sleep during hospitalization, which the Society of Anesthesia and Sleep Medicine believes merits wider consideration by health authorities than it has received to date. Adequate sleep is fundamental to health and well-being, and insufficiencies in its duration, quality, or timing have adverse effects that are acutely evident. These include cardiovascular dysfunction, impaired ventilatory function, cognitive impairment, increased pain perception, psychomotor disturbance (including increased fall risk), psychological disturbance (including anxiety and depression), metabolic dysfunction (including increased insulin resistance and catabolic propensity), and immune dysfunction and proinflammatory effects (increasing infection risk and pain generation)...

BACKGROUND: Neuraxial analgesia (NA) is the most effective modality in managing labor pain with widespread availability in high-income countries. Previous research has reported a differential obstetric NA use among migrant and native women, but the contribution of language barriers is not well understood. We aimed to investigate whether host-country language proficiency among migrant women influences NA use and satisfaction with pain management during labor, when compared to natives. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of data collected from 1024 native and 1111 migrant women who had singleton vaginal deliveries between 2017 and 2019 and were enrolled in the nationwide Portuguese baMBINO prospective cohort study...
