Although severe impairment on routine pulmonary function tests will identify patients with a high post-thoracotomy morbidity, cardiopulmonary complications often develop in only mild-to-moderate function. To determine whether the preoperative exercise capacity can prospectively those at risk of developing complications, 22 scheduled for thoracotomy (mean age, 55.7 ± 2 yr) underwent an incremental test cycle ergometer to their maximal O2 uptake prior thoracotomy. Routine were performed and...
In Brief BACKGROUND: The administration of prophylactic phenylephrine infusions in combination with fluid cohydration significantly reduces the incidence hypotension women having cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. ideal dosing regimen for this purpose is not known. study, we investigated dose that, when administered as a fixed rate infusion, associated least interventions needed to maintain maternal systolic blood pressure (SBP) within 20% baseline. METHODS: Women undergoing elective...
Background Health researchers are increasingly using social media in a professional capacity, and the applications of for health vast. However, there is currently no published evidence synthesis ways which use professionally, uncertainty remains as to how best harness its potential. Objective This scoping review aimed explore used by reported literature. Methods The methodology guided Arksey O’Malley Levac et al was used. Comprehensive searches based on concepts research were conducted...
Summary We compared the McGrath ® Series 5 videolaryngoscope with Macintosh laryngoscope in a simulated difficult airway, using manual in‐line stabilisation 88 anaesthestised patients of ASA physical status 1‐2. The primary outcome was laryngoscopic view. Secondary outcomes included rates successful tracheal intubation and complications. A Cormack Lehane grade‐1 or ‐2 view found all when 45 (51%, p < 0.0001) laryngoscopes. mean (SD) percentage glottic opening 82 (23)% 13 (p 0.0001). In 66...
Data suggest that pregnant women are not at elevated risk of acquiring severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection or developing disease compared with nonpregnant patients. However, management patients who critically ill 2019 (COVID-19) is complicated by physiologic changes and other pregnancy considerations requires balancing maternal fetal well-being.We report the case a patient 28 weeks gestation distress (ARDS) from COVID-19 infection, whose deteriorating...
Background: Early reports associating SARS-CoV-2 infection with adverse pregnancy outcomes were biased by including only women severe disease without controls. The Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP) COVID Registry was created to compare peripartum anesthetic utilization in delivering at institutions widespread testing. Methods: Deliveries from 14 U.S. medical centers, March 19-May 31, 2020, included. Peripartum defined as a positive polymerase chain reaction test within...
Heterogeneity among reported outcomes from enhanced recovery after cesarean delivery impact studies is high. This study aimed to develop a standardized core outcome set for use in future studies.An international consensus involving physicians, patients, and director of midwifery nursing services was conducted using three-round modified Delphi approach (two rounds electronic questionnaires third-round e-discussion) produce the set. An initial list based on previously published systematic...
To ascertain the value of daily routine chest x-ray in medical ICU, we determined prospectively number unsuspected abnormalities observed on 507 consecutive films and consequent management changes 94 ICU patients. Primary diagnoses were classified as pulmonary, hemodynamically unstable cardiac, uncomplicated or miscellaneous. Admission those taken after procedures a change clinical status excluded. Ventilator tubes catheters visible also noted. After evaluation, plans made by physicians then...
Hypotension frequently complicates spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery, and vasopressors are the mainstay treatment. The most effective dose of phenylephrine treatment anesthesia-induced hypotension has not been estimated.Healthy nonlaboring women undergoing a delivery were recruited. All received using hyperbaric bupivacaine 12 mg with fentanyl morphine. Each subject an i.v. crystalloid fluid bolus before at time initiation (preload coload). An up-down sequential allocation method...
