Moving Lumbar Drain Placement to IR From the Operating Room Creates Time and Cost Savings
Abstract Objective Surgeons often place lumbar drains (LD) perioperatively in patients undergoing repair for spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea. We analyzed the cost implications of a transition from operating room (OR) LD placement to a separate Interventional Radiology suite (IR) on the morning of surgery.

ABSTRACT Acromegalic cardiomyopathy is one of the common comorbidities of cardiovascular diseases in patients with acromegaly, and it is also a major risk factor affecting the survival rate of patients with acromegaly. The perioperative management of such patients is a challenge for anesthesiologists.

Olfactory Function Recovery in Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Pituitary Surgery
Key Points Olfactory flap preservation in transsphenoidal surgery (TSA) promotes early olfactory recovery. Objective olfactory function recovers faster than subjective olfaction following TSA. Olfactory‐specific and sinonasal olfactory‐specific quality of life (QOL) smell scores show divergent recovery timelines.

Topical Anesthesia and Olfactory Capability: A Pilot Study
ABSTRACT Introduction Topical anesthesia (TA) of the nasal fossa has been shown to be sufficient for patient comfort during nasal endoscopy. However, investigators need to know how soon after the administration of TA they can accurately evaluate olfactory capability.
