A Randomized Controlled Trial of Intrathecal versus Caudal Morphine-Bupivacaine on Postoperative Analgesia and Cortisol Levels in Pediatric Patients
CONCLUSIONS: Intrathecal morphine and bupivacaine results in longer duration of analgesia, lower analgesic consumption, prevents surgical-stress-related elevation of serum cortisol, and improves parent satisfaction compared to caudal morphine with bupivacaine in children undergoing lower abdominal surgeries.PMID:38639890 | DOI:10.1213/ANE.0000000000006962 (Source: Anesthesia and Analgesia)

Clinical Knowledge and Reasoning Abilities of AI Large Language Models in Anesthesiology: A Comparative Study on the American Board of Anesthesiology Examination
CONCLUSIONS: GPT-4 outperformed GPT-3 and Bard on both basic and advanced sections of the written ABA examination, and actual board examiners considered GPT-4 to have a reasonable possibility of passing the real oral examination; these models also exhibit varying degrees of proficiency across distinct topics.PMID:38640076 | DOI:10.1213/ANE.0000000000006892 (Source: Anesthesia and Analgesia)

Anesthesia-Related Closed Claims in Free-Standing Ambulatory Surgery Centers
CONCLUSIONS: This analysis of medical malpractice claims may indicate higher-than-expected patient and procedural complexity in free-standing ASCs, presenting patient safety concerns and opportunities for improvement. Ambulatory anesthesia practices should consider improving safety culture and communication with families while ensuring that providers have up-to-date training and resources to safely perform routine anesthesia procedures.PMID:38640080 | DOI:10.1213/ANE.0000000000006700 (Source: Anesthesia and Analgesia)

Pro-Con Debate: Universal Versus Selective Continuous Monitoring of Postoperative Patients
Anesth Analg. 2024 May 1;138(5):955-966. doi: 10.1213/ANE.0000000000006840. Epub 2024 Apr 15.ABSTRACTIn this Pro-Con commentary article, we discuss use of continuous physiologic monitoring for clinical deterioration, specifically respiratory depression in the postoperative population. The Pro position advocates for 24/7 continuous surveillance monitoring of all patients starting in the postanesthesia care unit until discharge from the hospital. The strongest arguments for universal monitoring relate to inadequate assessment and algorithms for patient risk. We argue that the need for hospitalization in and of itself is a su...
