Applying an ERAS protocol to optimize care for opioid-addicted parturients on buprenorphine could impact parturients continued sobriety as well as their infants long-term health & discharge placement

IV dexmedetomidine-ketamine should be considered for procedures requiring mild-moderate sedation due to its statistically superior cardio-respiratory stability and low complication rate.

This review outlines eight simulation-based healthcare education debriefing methodologies with the goal of creating a context driven choice for novice debriefers.

We have a void in current airway tools that can effectively open the airway under deep sedation. The McMurray Enhanced Airway (MEA) is uniquely designed to fill this void and reduce adverse effects.

In order to achieve extended postoperative pain management, the ability of peripheral nerve catheters (PNCs) to remain in place greater than 48 hours is imperative.

Acute and chronic pain is common after thoracic surgery with a prevalence of 30-91%. Identifying patients at risk and using early pain control strategies is crucial for prevention of chronic pain.

Adverse events in patients undergoing monitored anesthesia care can be serious. This literature review identifies risk factors and evidence-based interventions to prevent and manage complications.

Current practice has been influenced by the videolaryngoscope's appearance in the early 2000's. Its use takes less time than awake fiberoptic intubation with less barriers.  

In the setting of airway flooding, early intubation is vital to prevent aspiration and avoid oxygen desaturation, sympathetic surge, hypoxemic cardiac arrest, neurologic deterioration, or even death.

Provide more insight in addressing the airway of a patient with Noonan syndrome

An alternative to the interscalene nerve block (ISB) that avoids phrenic nerve paralysis would allow pulmonary compromised patients to receive optimal analgesia while avoiding respiratory distress.

Vigilance and alertness in the OR are critical in maintaining patient safety and performing timely interventions should the patient status change.

This study aimed to describe the anesthetic agent requirements, associated cardiopulmonary morbidity and overall satisfaction levels of patients who used cannabis prior to undergoing anesthesia.

Evidence-based practices enhance patient care. A role specific educational intervention on postpartum hemorrhage management may improve provider knowledge and preparedness for hemorrhage cases.

The data gathered from the study will provide anesthetist with information that can be used to provide high quality care to this patient population.
