BackgroundReal-time automated analysis of videos of the microvasculature is an essential step in the development of research protocols and clinical algorithms that incorporate point-of-care microvascular analysis. In response to the call for validation studies of available automated analysis software by the European Society of Intensive Care Medici...

Hypotension during general anesthesia is associated with poor outcome. Continuous monitoring of mean blood pressure (MAP) during anesthesia is useful and needs to be reliable and minimally invasive. Conventional cuff measurements can lead to delays due to its discontinuous nature. It has been shown that there is a relationship between MAP and photo...

Our objective was to evaluate the usefulness of five ultrasound measurements to predict a difficult laryngoscopy (DL). Prospective observational study. 50 patients underwent scheduled surgery under general anesthesia with orotracheal intubation with classical laryngoscopy at the University Hospital of Jaén (Spain). Sociodemographic variables, class...

Orthostatic intolerance (OI) is a group of disorders characterized by symptoms that occur upon standing and resolve with recumbence. Although well established but not widely recognized, these diagnoses may create uncertainty for clinicians dealing with a patient affected by OI and requiring a surgical procedure. To determine the rate of intra- and ...

Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
Physiologic data from anesthesia monitors are automatically captured. Yet erroneous data are stored in the process as well. While this is not interfering with clinical care, research can be affected. Researchers should find ways to remove artifacts. The aim of the present study was to compare different artifact annotation strategies, and to assess ...

BackgroundCaffeine is the most utilised psychoactive drug worldwide. However, caffeine withdrawal and the therapeutic use of caffeine in intensive care and in the perioperative period have not been well summarised.

The aim of the present study was to establish a novel method for inducing deep hypothermia in rats. Cooling rats anesthetized with isoflurane caused a time-dependent decrease in rectal temperature, but cardiac arrest occurred before their body temperature reached 20 °C when isoflurane inhalation was continued during the cooling process. Stopping in...

Systematic Reviews
BackgroundPostoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common condition after general anesthesia (GA). Previous studies have reported that propofol can ameliorate the occurrence of such disorder. However, its results are still inconsistent. Therefore, this systematic review will assess the efficacy and safety of propofol on POCD after GA.Methods...
