Anesthetic Preconditioning Combined with Postconditioning Offers No Additional Benefit Over Preconditioning or Postconditioning Alone (Editorial)
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 316-324. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: The results of this study support the hypothesis that exposure to sevoflurane during the early minutes of reperfusion (anesthetic postconditioning) attenuates reperfusion injury resulting in preservation of myocardial function and decreased infarct size comparable to anesthetic preconditioning. The combination of anesthetic preconditioning and postconditioning offered no additional benefit over either intervention alone.

Mouse Chromosome 7 Harbors a Quantitative Trait Locus for Isoflurane Minimum Alveolar Concentration
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 381-385. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: The minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane is a quantitative trait because it varies continuously in a population. Using two mouse strains differing in isoflurane MAC, we identified a quantitative trait loci for isoflurane MAC on mouse chromosome 7. This chromosome contains genetic elements influencing the MAC of isoflurane.

Anesthesia Information Management Systems: A Survey of Current Implementation Policies and Practices
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 405-411. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: A survey of 18 institutions using anesthesia information management systems revealed that, in many cases, system configurations may increase exposure to billing denial, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services noncompliance, security breeches, and medical legal defense difficulties. Configuration standards are needed to address these problems and to provide guidance for institutions using this technology.

Continuous Oximetry/Capnometry Monitoring Reveals Frequent Desaturation and Bradypnea During Patient-Controlled Analgesia
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 412-418. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: Continuous patient monitoring by pulse oximetry and capnometry during narcotic administration via patient-controlled analgesia suggests that the incidence of desaturation and bradypnea exceeds that documented by intermittent monitoring. Continuous monitoring may be important to prevent adverse events related to narcotic administration, but additional research is needed to reduce the rate of false positive alarms and to understand the true incidence of this problem.

A Psychological Basis for Anesthesiologists’ Operating Room Managerial Decision-Making on the Day of Surgery
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 430-434. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: Anesthesiologists made managerial decisions that increased the clinical work per unit time at each operating room (OR) to which they were assigned. Although sound for decisions involving individual ORs, this heuristic (i.e., simplified, rule-of-thumb approach) was then applied to decisions involving multiple ORs resulting in unnecessary overutilized OR time, unpredictable work hours, etc.

Factors Predictive of Patient Satisfaction with Anesthesia
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 435-442. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: Inpatient satisfaction can be improved by an organization in which there are surgical suite nurses dedicated only to anesthesia (e.g., in holding area, for regional blocks, and upon operating room entrance); a written anesthesia information leaflet is given during the preoperative visit, and there are two postoperative visits.

Ventilation-Induced Plethysmographic Variations Predict Fluid Responsiveness in Ventilated Postoperative Cardiac Surgery Patients
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 448-452. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: Pulse oximeter plethysmography wave forms can be used to predict fluid responsiveness. This observational study of fully sedated and ventilated patients after cardiac surgery shows that the change in plethysmographic wave forms induced by ventilation acts as a more accurate variable of fluid responsiveness than the more classic nondynamic variables such as central venous pressure and pulmonary artery occlusion pressure.

Laser Resection of the Prostate: Implications for Anesthesia (Medical Intelligence)
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 475-479. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [Request Permissions]  

IMPLICATIONS: Advances in endourology using laser technology have resulted in procedures for prostate reduction that are as effective as classic transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) but that nearly eliminate the risk for TURP syndrome. More options for anesthetic management may now be available, including general anesthesia and the ability to perform these procedures on an outpatient basis.
