Fast-track anesthesia in lateral mini-thoracotomy for transapical transcatheter valve implantation
CONCLUSIONS: Fast-track anesthesia using paravertebral-blockade for transcatheter transapical valve replacement in high-risk patients is a possible anesthetic approach. An effective PVB, in addition to a double-lumen laryngeal mask, provide an alternative strategy to conventional general anesthesia. These promising results could encourage further consideration of this approach in similar cardiac surgery patients.PMID:34527324 | PMC:PMC8411149 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-21-751

Local anaesthetics combined with vasoconstrictors in patients with cardiovascular disease undergoing dental procedures: systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions The results suggest that the use of LA with vasoconstrictors (epinephrine in low doses) is safe in patients with some types of CVD. However, the low quality of evidence demonstrated that literature needs further studies in order to confirm these results. Protocol registration PROSPERO (CRD42016045421).

Role of Dexmedetomidine in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Comprehensive Scoping Review
Dexmedetomidine (DEX), an α2-adrenergic agonist, has been widely used for anesthesia, pain control, and intensive care unit sedation. Besides sleep-like sedation, DEX has many other beneficial effects, such as anti-inflammation, antioxidation, and anticell death. Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a severe and potentially fatal form of stroke, is a complex disease that is divided into 2 phases: early brain injury and delayed cerebral ischemia. In each phase, several pathologic changes are involved, including disturbed intracranial homeostasis, metabolic failure, blood-brain barrier damage, vasospasm, microthrombosis, and cort...

Hysterectomy for men – Richard ’ s story
My wife (now 65) has had a number of minor medical problems, both mental and physical, especially after reaching 40, and when she started having panic attacks, for which no-one could provide a positive reason or cure, she finally resorted to drugs, such as sertraline, much against her natural inclination. A known side-effect of this is increased weight.  My wife has never been really overweight, but, in common with so many women, is very sensitive about the subject (perhaps more so because I CANNOT put on weight!), so when she started to increase in girth, I was reluctant to mention it, for fear of upsetting her even more...

When angels catch us – Madeline ’ s hysterectomy story
How do we know there are angels? Do we have our own special guardian angels watching over us? How many times have we almost entered into danger only to change our minds at the last minute? Is this simply being lucky or has there been an unconscious inner voice warning us? I have truly believed for a long time that there are God’s angels watching over us and over the years there have been occasions when I have had warnings of some impending doom and thankfully avoided tragedy. Sometimes I’ve just had feelings or a “sixth sense” and the negative event still happened but somehow I had felt that premonition. Wa...

Opioid Free Cardiac Surgery: A Multimodal Pain Management Strategy with a Focus on Bilateral Erector Spinae Plane Block Catheters
Cardiac surgery requiring sternotomy presents unique challenges for perioperative and postoperative analgesia. Intraoperatively, the sympathetic response to surgical stimulation must be carefully modulated to prevent excessive bleeding, maintain the integrity of surgical repairs, and decrease the risk of stroke or iatrogenic aortic injury without compromising myocardial and systemic perfusion. This must be achieved in patients whose underlying abnormal physiology coupled with the effects of the surgical procedure often result in tenuous hemodynamics.
