Older adults who reported more pain, anxiety, or depression before surgery were more likely to experience persistent pain a year later.

Difficult obstetric airways demand more than quick thinking—they require a plan. This expert review covers the latest evidence on airway management, cesarean anesthesia, and improving maternal safety. Read more: anesthesiologynews.com/a/Xjw… #Anesthesiology

Great #infographic summarizing a retrospective study that found that among 285 eligible patients, higher injected blood volume was associated with fewer repeat EBPs and greater likelihood of complete headache resolution.
Multivariable analysis showed a dose-response pattern, with each additional mL reducing the odds of treatment failure.
Increased time interval after #PDPH diagnosis to #EBP also improved success. #OBAnes

💉Increased volume of injected blood was significantly associated with a reduction in the likelihood of requiring a second epidural blood patch; volumes of 30 mL and higher were associated with a higher likelihood of symptom resolution.
💉 Injection of blood targeted to the patient’s back pressure allowed injection of larger volumes; larger volumes reduced the need for a second blood patch. Prospective trials should compare the strategies of injection limited by patient symptoms versus a fixed volume.

Awake tracheal intubation - a survey
• 96.5% believed that ATI was a core competence for anaesthetists
• 76.2% reported performing the procedure
• 64.5% maintained their skills with <10 ATIs per year

In a new study, Juri et al. hypothesized that individualized blood pressure management based on each patient’s preoperative baseline blood measure would reduce the incidence of postoperative AKI compared with standard blood pressure management.

📈 After adjustment for patient severity of illness, the maximal cumulative and individual dosing of vasopressors in critically ill patients with shock varied between ICUs. There was no clear dosing above which survival to hospital discharge was impossible.

Published today, the first-ever clinical practice guideline on cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome from the American Heart Association and @ACCinTouch.
The focus of this clinical practice guideline is to create a living, working document that provides current knowledge in the field of CKM syndrome aimed at all practicing cardiologists, endocrinologists, nephrologists, and primary care and specialty clinicians who manage these patients.

A trial published in The Lancet reports that screening-based, risk-stratified planned early-term birth reduces the incidence of term preeclampsia without increasing emergency cesarean delivery or neonatal morbidity.

💬 Viewpoint by Canio Martinelli, MD, MSc, Vincenzo Carnevale, PhD, MSc, Alfredo Ercoli, MD, PhD, and Antonio Giordano, MD, PhD: #AI yields higher empathy scores in text assessments but cannot perform clinical examination or patient care. Clinician oversight and presence remain essential in #Medicine.
