Transfusion targets and adverse events in pediatric perioperative acute anemia. New study by Lindsay Warner M.D.. ➡️Most transfused patients presented to the operating room with anemia, which suggests an opportunity for preoperative optimization. 🔗doi.org/10.1016/j.jcli…

Oxygen use is often limited by protocols used in intensive care and emergency settings - but less so in pediatric anesthesiology. In this retrospective study by Lonneke Staals, hyperoxemia was observed intraoperatively in approximately 90% of cases. 🔗doi.org/10.1016/j.jcli…

This retrospective study of 42,432 noncardiac surgery patients found that withholding ACEI/ARB before surgery was associated with a reduced risk of intraoperative hypotension and #MINS, but it not with overall clinical outcomes or mortality. 🔗doi.org/10.1016/j.jcli…

HRAD± is a clinically useful and simple scale for evaluating pediatric affect and cooperation during inhalational mask induction. Results from this prospective study show correlation with commonly utilized but more complex research assessment scales. 🔗doi.org/10.1016/j.jcli…

Popliteal sciatic nerve block with liposomal bupivacaine for bunionectomy. ➡️This 185 patient multicenter #RCT demonstrated superior and long-lasting postsurgical pain control with liposomal bupivacaine when compared to bupivacaine HCI. 🔗doi.org/10.1016/j.jcli…

In this retrospective cohort study of 30,730 cases, medically directed SRNAs as in-room providers were not non-inferior to medically directed CRNAs, residents and/or fellows, regarding a composite outcome of postoperative mortality and morbidity. 🔗doi.org/10.1016/j.jcli…

This prospective study used ultrasound evaluation of gastric residual volume in fasting end-stage renal failure patients, and found delayed gastric emptying in 58% of participants - despite following preoperative standard fasting guidelines. 🔗doi.org/10.1016/j.jcli…

10–20% of patients have a #penicillin allergy label in their chart. However, less than 1% of all patients are truly allergic to penicillin. A de-labeling approach should include careful history taking & allergy testing, argues Dr. Angela Selzer. 🔗doi.org/10.1016/j.jcli…
