One lung ventilation, keeping it simple

In this episode, our Host, Prof. Cesare Gregoretti will discuss with Dr Lorenzo Ball issues related to “One lung ventilation”. What makes one lung ventilation difficult? Which are the main indications for one lung ventilation in the operating room? How we achieve lung separation? Is there room for one lung ventilation in emergency setting in the ICU? Listen to this podcast and find out more on “One lung ventilation” and how to “keeping it simple”.

Danavorexton (TAK-925): A Promising Breakthrough in Combating Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression

Danavorexton (TAK-925): A Promising Breakthrough in Combating Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression Danavorexton (TAK-925): A Promising Breakthrough in Combating Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression Opioids remain a cornerstone of pain management in clinical settings, yet their use is shadowed by life-threatening side effects, including respiratory depression and excessive sedation. A recent podcast episode from Anesthesiology ’s featured author series highlights a groundbreaking solution: danavorexton (TAK-925) , an orexin receptor 2 agonist that could revolutionize how we manage opioid-related complications. What Is Danavorexton (TAK-925)? Danavorexton is a selective agonist of the orexin-2 receptor (OX2R), a key player in regulating wakefulness and respiration. Orexins (also known as hypocretins) are neuropeptides produced in the hypothalamus that activate OX1R and OX2R receptors, influencing arousal, appetite, and...

Continuous vs. Bolus Norepinephrine for Post-Induction Hypotension

Continuous vs. Bolus Norepinephrine for Post-Induction Hypotension Continuous vs. Bolus Norepinephrine for Post-Induction Hypotension: A Landmark Trial Key Takeaway: Continuous infusion of norepinephrine offers no significant advantage over manual bolus administration in reducing post-induction hypotension in low-to-moderate risk noncardiac surgery patients, according to a randomized trial in the British Journal of Anaesthesia . Study Design Participants: 276 patients (261 analyzed) undergoing elective noncardiac surgery Interventions: Randomized to continuous infusion (target: 0.05 µg/kg/min) or manual boluses (10 µg) Monitoring: Intermittent oscillometric BP + blinded continuous finger-cuff monitoring Primary Endpoint: Area under MAP Key Findings Metric Continuous Infusion Bolus Administration Area under MA...

Remimazolam Reduces Risk for Intraoperative Hypotension in Interventional Radiology

-
 According to a new study reported on Anesthesiology News, an anesthetic combination of remimazolam (Byfavo, Eagle) and fentanyl offers advantages for maintaining hemodynamic stability during short outpatient interventional radiology (IR) procedures. The article likely discusses the following key points: Comparison: The study compared the effectiveness of different anesthetic combinations commonly used for IR procedures at an outpatient surgery center. Focus: The central theme is likely finding an anesthetic approach that minimizes intraoperative hypotension (low blood pressure during surgery) for patient safety. Benefits of Remimazolam: The study suggests that remimazolam, combined with fentanyl, may offer advantages compared to other anesthetic combinations used in IR procedures. Potential benefits might include: Reduced risk of intraoperative hypotension Maintaining hemodynamic stability for patients Note: To understand the full details and specific findings of the ...
