The initial assessment of perioperative oliguria includes closer patient monitoring, evaluation of volemic status, risk–benefit analysis of fluid challenge or furosemide stress test, and investigation of possible perioperative complications. Learn more: ow.ly/kVBp50RvbTL

A five-year follow-up of patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis at low surgical risk recruited to a trial of TAVR versus surgery reported no significant between-group difference in two primary composite outcomes. Read the May 2024 SM&A: ow.ly/tEHH50RvaIn

In young school-age children, a high-density EEG during induction of #anesthesia was dominated by widespread large increases in delta power, similar to that seen in adults. Read this research in the latest issue of Anesthesiology: ow.ly/9xwc50RsFE0

Researchers observed a robust increase in heart rate with increasing propofol concentrations in healthy volunteers and patients, likely due to decreased parasympathetic cardioinhibition. Learn more: ow.ly/PuNx50Rvagu

“A wider understanding of anesthetic effects beyond those directly affecting synaptic transmission is essential to fully appreciate their mechanism of action.” When fishing for mechanisms of #anesthesia , research may need to cast a wider net. ow.ly/X99g50Rv7Yc

In rodents recovering from sevoflurane, REM-on and REM-off neuronal activity maps closely resemble those of REM sleep–deprived animals, providing new evidence in support of the idea that sevoflurane does not substitute for endogenous REM sleep. Read more: ow.ly/xixn50Rr25H

Postoperative nausea and vomiting did not differ in patients assigned to 80% or 30% inspired oxygen. Similarly, a meta-analysis of available trials indicated that supplemental oxygen does not reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting. Learn more: ow.ly/la9v50RptSI

In a trial including children admitted to pediatric ICUs emergently for invasive ventilation, the conservative oxygenation group had a higher probability of a better outcome regarding organ support and death at 30 days. Read the May 2024 SM&A: ow.ly/Fqau50Rpu4k
