Focused Cardiac Ultrasound Identification of Dynamic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction
Focused cardiac ultrasound can narrow the differential diagnosis of shock between four categories: hypovolemic, cardiogenic, vasoplegic, and obstructive. Among subcategories of obstructive shock, dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is of special relevance to anesthesiologists because it (1) can arise in structurally normal hearts under common perioperative conditions (i.e., hypovolemia, vasoplegia, tachycardia, and/or inotropic excess)1; (2) masquerades as cardiogenic shock by causing a constellation of hypotension, low cardiac output, and high filling pressures2; (3) requires ultrasound for diagnosis1 –3;...

Acute Kidney Injury after Cardiac Surgery: Prediction, Prevention, and Management
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in cardiac surgery patients, with a reported incidence of 20 to 30%. The development of AKI is associated with worse short- and long-term mortality, and longer hospital length of stay. The pathogenesis of cardiac surgery –associated AKI is poorly understood but likely involves an interplay between preoperative comorbidities and perioperative stressors. AKI is commonly diagnosed by using increases in serum creatinine or decreased urine output and staged using a standardized definition such as the Kidney Disease Imp roving Global Outcomes classification. Novel biomarkers u...

Opioid Overdose: Limitations in Naloxone Reversal of Respiratory Depression and Prevention of Cardiac Arrest: Erratum
In the Review Article titled “Opioid Overdose: Limitations in Naloxone Reversal of Respiratory Depression and Prevention of Cardiac Arrest,” published in the September 2023 issue, figure 1 contains two mistakes: the side chains of nalorphine (panel B) and naloxone (panel D), NCH3CH=CH2 are incorrect and should be replaced by NCH2CH=CH2 as now shown in the corrected figure 1.
