Intrathecal Morphine for Laparoscopic Segmental Colonic Resection as Part of an Enhanced Recovery Protocol: A Randomized Controlled Trial [PDF]
Background and Objectives: Management of postoperative pain after laparoscopic segmental colonic resections remains controversial. We compared 2 methods of analgesia within an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program.

Persistent Opioid–Induced Hiccups: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Hiccups, also known as singultus, are involuntary contractions of the diaphragm followed by sudden closure of the vocal cords, producing the characteristic “hic” sound. While hiccups are generally harmless, opioids can sometimes cause persistent and disruptive hiccups.

Impact of Neostigmine and Sugammadex on Time to Leaving the Operating Room in a Community Hospital [PDF]
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of sugammadex on operating room (OR) times versus neostigmine in patients recovering from rocuronium or vecuronium induced neuromuscular blockade.

Background The use of neostigmine after neuromuscular blockade (NMB) has been associated with postoperative respiratory complications. In previous studies, we found lower diaphragmatic activity after neostigmine reversal of NMB, compared to sugammadex ...

Postoperative bilateral visual loss after a single dose of tranexamic acid
Summary A 32‐year‐old woman presented with transient visual loss following the intra‐operative administration of a single intravenous dose of tranexamic acid during urgent cholecystectomy. Apart from obesity, the patient had no notable medical history or pre‐existing ocular conditions.

Analysis of Clinical Outcomes and Cost-Effectiveness of Neuromuscular Blocking Drug Reversal in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea [PDF]
Non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers are used during many surgical procedures to induce muscle relaxation for tracheal intubation and improve surgical conditions for surgeons. The use of these medications requires an agent to be given to fully reverse

Anesthetic Management of a Patient With an Incidental Vallecular Cyst: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Vallecular cysts are rare, benign lesions of the epiglottis and adjacent structures, often asymptomatic but with the potential to cause airway obstruction during anesthesia. We report the case of a 50‐year‐old female undergoing elective laparoscopic hysterectomy, during which an incidental vallecular cyst was identified during intubation. This

Effects of sugammadex and rocuronium on electro-mechanical activity of cardiac myocytes [PDF]
Background Sugammadex reverses the effects of steroidal neuromuscular-blocking agents, such as rocuronium, by encapsulating these agents. Its cardiovascular adverse effects include QTc prolongation, hypotension, bradycardia, atrioventricular block ...
