As specialists in perioperative medicine, anesthesiologists are well equipped to design and oversee the preoperative patient preparation process; however, impact of an anesthesiologist-led evaluation clinic (PEC) on clinical outcomes has yet be fully elucidated. The authors compared incidence in-hospital postoperative mortality patients who had been evaluated their institution's PEC before elective surgery without being seen PEC.A retrospective review administrative database was performed....
Treatment of Staphylococcus aureus colonization before surgery reduces risk surgical site infection (SSI). The regimen nasal mupirocin ointment and topical chlorhexidine gluconate is effective, but cost patient compliance may be a barrier. Nasal povidone-iodine solution provide an alternative to mupirocin.We conducted investigator-initiated, open-label, randomized trial comparing SSI after arthroplasty or spine fusion in patients receiving wipes combination with either twice daily...
Abstract: This study compared the analgesic efficacy of postoperative lavender oil aromatherapy in 50 patients undergoing breast biopsy surgery. Twenty‐five received supplemental oxygen through a face mask with two drops 2% postoperatively. The remainder no oil. Outcome variables included pain scores (a numeric rating scale from 0 to 10) at 5, 30, and 60 minutes postoperatively, narcotic requirements postanesthesia care unit (PACU), patient satisfaction control, as well time discharge PACU....
Introduction: In 2014, New York (NY) became the 23rd state to legalize medical marijuana (MMJ). The purpose of this survey was collect data about practicing NY physicians' comfort level, opinions, and experience in recommending or supporting patient use MMJ. Materials Methods: An anonymous web-based distributed societies academic departments schools within NY. Results: A total 164 responses were analyzed. Physician participants primarily located City surrounding areas. majority (71%) agreed...
Background Anesthesiologists’ contribution to perioperative healthcare disparities remains unclear because patient and surgeon preferences can influence care choices. Postoperative nausea vomiting is a patient- centered outcome measure main driver of unplanned admissions. Antiemetic administration under the sole domain anesthesiologists. In U.S. sample, Medicaid insured versus commercially patients those with lower higher median income had reduced antiemetic administration, but not all risk...
A randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled study was designed to compare dexmedetomidine as a primary sedative agent with commonly used drug combination in patients undergoing awake carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Sixty-six CEA (ASA II–IV) were randomly assigned receive either (total dose of 97.5 ± 54.7 mcg) or normal saline (control). Supplemental doses midazolam, fentanyl, and/or propofol administered deemed necessary by the anesthesiologist. An observer blinded assessed sedation level...
The current opioid epidemic highlights the urgent need for effective adjuvant therapies to complement postoperative analgesia. Intra-operative ketamine infusion has been shown reduce consumption and improve pain control in opioid-tolerant patients after spinal fusion surgery. Its efficacy opioid-naïve patients, however, remains controversial.We hypothesised that low-dose major surgery reduces requirements but not patients.Randomised placebo-controlled study.Single-centre, tertiary care...
BACKGROUND When administered as a continuous infusion, ketamine is known to be potent analgesic and general anaesthetic. Recent studies suggest that single low-dose administration of can provide long-lasting effect on mood, but its effects when given in the postoperative period have not been studied. OBJECTIVE We hypothesised after bariatric surgery improve pain mood scores immediate period. DESIGN performed randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study compare subanaesthetic dose (0.4...
Preoperative cardiovascular risk stratification before noncardiac surgery is a common clinical challenge. Coronary artery calcium scores from ECG-gated chest computed tomography (CT) imaging are associated with perioperative events. At the time of preoperative evaluation, many patients will not have had CT imaging, but nongated studies performed for variety indications. We evaluated relationships between coronary severity estimated previous and major events (MCE) after surgery.
Simulation-based training is becoming an accepted tool for educating physicians before direct patient care. As ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) becomes a popular method performing blocks, there need learning the technical skills associated with technique. Although simulator models do exist UGRA, they either contain food and are therefore perishable or not anatomically based. We developed 3 sonoanatomically based partial-task simulators UGRA: upper body torso UGRA interscalene...
Led by the federal government, payers of health care are enacting policies designed to base provider reimbursement on quality they render. This study evaluated and compared patient experiences satisfaction with nasal decolonization either povidone-iodine (PI) or mupirocin ointment (MO). A total 1903 patients were randomized undergo preoperative MO PI solution. All also given 2% chlorhexidine gluconate topical wipes. Patients interviewed prior discharge assess adverse events experience their...
The COVID-19 pandemic led to a drastic expansion in utilizing telemedicine, circumventing some of the geographical barriers accessing pain care. However, uncertainties around impact telemedicine across various sociodemographic groups still exist, prompting further exploration. Therefore, this study aimed evaluate factors utilization during and after pandemic.All outpatient non-procedural visits at medicine division large academic institution epicenter (New York, USA), between March 2019...
Background: The objective of this study is to determine subclinical changes in hand sensation after brachial plexus blocks used for surgery procedures. We Semmes-Weinstein monofilament testing detect these changes. hypothesized that patients undergoing nerve would have postoperative neuropathy detected by when compared with controls. Methods: In total, 115 adult were prospectively enrolled study. All nerve-related procedures excluded as well any preoperative clinically apparent deficits....
