Cardiopulmonary Bypass, Hemolysis, and Nitroprusside-Induced Cyanide Production
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 29-33. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: Hemolysis as a consequence of cardiopulmonary bypass can increase the risk of cyanide toxicity from sodium nitroprusside administration in cardiac surgical patients because free hemoglobin in the plasma reacts directly with sodium nitroprusside to generate free cyanide anion.

The Transesophageal Doppler and Hemodynamic Effects of Epidural Anesthesia in Infants Anesthetized with Sevoflurane and Sufentanil
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 46-50. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: We studied the hemodynamic consequences of epidural injection of adrenaline-added bupivacaine in infants weighing <10 kg. Arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and systemic vascular resistance decreased, stroke volume increased, and cardiac output was unchanged after lumbar epidural injection of adrenaline and bupivacaine.

Continuous Monitoring of Dynamic Pulmonary Compliance Enables Detection of Endobronchial Intubation in Infants and Children

IMPLICATIONS: This study demonstrates that changes in dynamic pulmonary compliance are an accurate test of endobronchial intubation in children and are more reliable than changes in peak airway pressures or auscultation of breath sounds.

IMPLICATIONS: Assessment of recovery after ambulatory surgery has become a remarkable outcome in many clinical studies. Through a systematic review, the published evidence related to postoperative recovery outcome measurement within 1 wk after ambulatory surgery was identified and validity, reliability, and responsiveness to change and clinical applicability of the instruments analyzed.

Morphine in Postoperative Patients: Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Metabolites
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 70-78. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Data Supplement]  [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: We measured two concentrations of morphine and its two glucuronide metabolites in patients suffering from severe postoperative pain. We also measured pain intensity during the first postoperative day. Morphine-6-glucuronide appeared to be a potent opioid agonist and morphine-3-glucuronide a mild opioid antagonist. Both are poorly excreted in patients with renal failure. Because of the long transfer half-life for from blood to effect compartment, the effects of the metabolites appear after an important delay.

Nitrous Oxide Decreases Cortical Methionine Synthase Transiently but Produces Lasting Memory Impairment in Aged Rats
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 83-88. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: This study demonstrates that exposure of aged rats to 4 h of 70% nitrous oxide impairs acquisition of a spatial memory task when testing begins 2 days later, and suggests that subanesthetic concentrations of anesthetics may lead to persistent changes in the aged brain.

The Role of Protein Kinase A in Acute Ethanol-Induced Neurobehavioral Actions in Rats
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 89-96. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: We tested the hypothesis that the protein kinase signaling pathway may regulate ethanol's neurobehavioral action. Our results suggest that PKA pathways participate in ethanol-induced neurobehavioral changes and the possible involvement of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors in PKA regulation of ethanol's actions.

The Mechanism Behind the Inhibitory Effect of Isoflurane on Angiotensin II-Induced Vascular Contraction Is Different from That of Sevoflurane
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 97-102. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: Isoflurane, at clinically relevant concentrations, inhibits angiotensin II-induced vasoconstriction, but by a mechanism that differs from that of sevoflurane. Unlike sevoflurane, the inhibitory effect of isoflurane on vascular contraction is mainly mediated by an attenuation of the increase in intracellular Ca2+ in response to angiotensin II.

Anesthetic Properties of Carbon Dioxide in the Rat
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 103-106. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: Increasing concentrations of CO2 rectilinearly decrease the MAC of halothane, isoflurane, and desflurane with no threshold to this effect. MAC of CO2 in the rat is approximately 50% of 1 atm.

Anesth Analg 2007 105: 107-113. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]

The Application of Economic Evaluation Methods in the Chronic Pain Medicine Literature
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 114-118. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: Chronic pain-related economic evaluations were reviewed. More researchers and clinicians should be trying to incorporate cost-utility analyses in their clinical trial designs, but while doing so include sensitivity analyses, cost data to permit international comparisons, and the long time horizons relevant to treating often recurrent chronic pain conditions.

An Observational Study of Surgeons' Sequencing of Cases and Its Impact on Postanesthesia Care Unit and Holding Area Staffing Requirements at Hospitals
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 119-126. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: The uncoordinated ordering of cases by multiple surgeons is sufficiently random to yield a nearly uniform rate of patient admissions to the postanesthesia care unit. As a result, there is little to be gained by implementing formal case ordering algorithms.

IMPLICATIONS: A simple calculation using historical data can provide an estimate of when patients should be ready on the day of surgery that minimizes scheduling delays while also reducing excessive waiting times for patients.

Organ Toxicity and Mortality in Propofol-Sedated Rabbits Under Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 155-166. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]

Single-Dose, Extended-Release Epidural Morphine (DepoDur^TM) Compared to Conventional Epidural Morphine for Post-Cesarean Pain
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 176-183. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: This randomized, controlled study compared single-dose, extended-release epidural morphine (EREM) with conventional epidural morphine for postoperative analgesia after Cesarean delivery. EREM 10 mg significantly improved analgesia and decreased supplemental opioid medication usage for 48 h post-Cesarean delivery versus conventional epidural morphine 4 mg.

IMPLICATIONS: We describe the management of a pregnant patient with visual loss, mental status changes, and severe preeclampsia, who was diagnosed as having posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. This syndrome is associated with symmetric hypodensities of the posterior gray and white matter and is usually reversible with prompt treatment.

IMPLICATIONS: The administration of celecoxib as a component of a multimodal analgesic technique reduces long-term persistent pain and patellofemoral complications after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Further, patients receiving celecoxib were more likely to return to their preinjury level of activity.

Peripheral Suppression of Arthritic Pain by Intraarticular Fadolmidine, an ₂-Adrenoceptor Agonist, in the Rat
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 245-250. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: Intraarticular administration of fadolmidine effectively suppressed experimental arthritic pain in the rat due to its action on peripheral {alpha}2-adrenoceptors and downstream, peripheral opioid-receptors. This finding suggests that intraarticular administration of fadolmidine may suppress arthritic pain with few, if any, central side effects.

IMPLICATIONS: Epidural droperidol, administered as a single bolus, continuous infusion, or combined bolus infusion, reduced pruritus, and postoperative nausea and vomiting, regardless of the method of administration.
