Competencies for proficiency in basic point-of-care ultrasound in anesthesiology: national expert recommendations using Delphi methodology
CONCLUSION: Through national expert consensus, this study identified POCUS competencies suitable for curriculum development and assessment in perioperative anesthesiology. Next steps include designing and piloting a POCUS curriculum and assessment tool(s) based upon these nationally defined competencies.PMID:38632162 | DOI:10.1007/s12630-024-02746-w (Source: Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia)

Efficacy of different routes of acetaminophen administration for postoperative pain in children: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: The available evidence on the effect of the administration route of acetaminophen on postoperative pain in children is very uncertain. The outcomes of postoperative pain control and postoperative vomiting may differ very little between the oral and rectal route. Better designed and executed RCTs are required to address this important clinical question.STUDY REGISTRATION: PROSPERO (CRD42021286495); first submitted 19 November 2021.PMID:38622469 | DOI:10.1007/s12630-024-02760-y (Source: Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia)

Remimazolam to prevent hemodynamic instability during catheter ablation under general anesthesia: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Remimazolam was a viable option for general anesthesia for cardiac ablation. Remimazolam-based total intravenous anesthesia was associated with significantly fewer hypotensive events and vasopressor requirements than desflurane-based inhalational anesthesia was, without significantly more complications.STUDY REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05486377); first submitted 1 August 2022.PMID:38609684 | DOI:10.1007/s12630-024-02735-z (Source: Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia)

Perioperative echocardiographic strain analysis: what anesthesiologists should know
CONCLUSION: Echocardiographic strain analysis is a powerful tool that allows seeing what conventional 2D imaging sometimes fails to reveal. It often provides pathophysiologic insight into various cardiac diseases at an early stage. Strain analysis is readily feasible and reproducible thanks to the use of highly automated software platforms. This technique shows promising potential to become a valuable tool in the arsenal of the anesthesiologist-echocardiographer and aid in perioperative risk-stratification and clinical decision-making.PMID:38600285 | DOI:10.1007/s12630-024-02713-5 (Source: Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia)
