Although airway manipulation is an essential component of anesthesia and emergency medicine, it carries a recognized risk of injury to the mouth. Procedures such as endotracheal intubation, direct laryngoscopy, and the insertion of supraglottic airway devices can result in trauma to the teeth, lips, tongue, gums, and temporomandibular joint, especially in emergent settings in which speed can save a patient’s life.

The incidence of mouth injury during airway manipulation varies depending on patient characteristics, operator experience, and methods...

Major noncardiac surgery is associated with a substantial risk of perioperative cardiovascular complications, which contribute significantly to postoperative morbidity and mortality.

The results of the trial demonstrate that remote ischemic preconditioning does not significantly reduce postoperative myocardial injury...

For decades, ketamine has been used as an anesthetic agent, but more recently, it has also been employed in carefully supervised treatments for treatment-resistant depression.

Ketamine’s urological effects are not limited to the bladder. Imaging studies have shown that long-term exposure can cause swelling...

The widespread use of herbal and dietary supplements poses ongoing challenges in perioperative medicine. Surveys suggest that up to half of surgical patients use these products, yet fewer than 40% disclose this information to their healthcare providers.

Consequently, preoperative identification of supplement use and appropriate management before and after anesthesia are critical to...

Obesity poses significant challenges to anesthesia management and increases the risk of complications. On average, as body mass index (BMI) increases, so does the likelihood of complications involving the airway, the respiratory system, cardiovascular stability, and anesthetic pharmacology.

Physostigmine is a drug that inhibits the action of cholinesterase, which breaks down acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays an important role in muscle movement and the function of brain neurons. It is useful across a range of conditions in which a deficiency of acetylcholine is present or in which it is useful to promote an increase in acetylcholine in nerve synapses.

Claustrophobia, the intense fear of confined or enclosed spaces, can pose unique challenges in medical environments. Whether for an MRI scan, surgery, or dental work, patients with claustrophobia may experience heightened anxiety, panic attacks, or outright refusal of treatment. For clinicians, understanding and accommodating these fears is essential to providing safe and effective care.

Claustrophobia, the intense fear of confined or enclosed spaces, can pose unique challenges in medical environments, where patients may need to be in diagnostic or procedural settings that trigger their claustrophobia. Whether for an MRI scan, surgery, or dental work, patients with claustrophobia ma...

Recognition of pain in the post-operative period – whether due to patients reporting their pain or clinical appraisal of pain – is imperative for adequate analgesic management. As anesthesia used during the procedure wears off, maintaining an appropriate level of pain relief is essential for patient outcomes and recovery.

Recognition of pain and pain reporting in the post-operative period is imperative for adequate analgesic management.

Anesthetic agents come in various forms, including oral and intravenous (IV), and have different chemical compositions to suit different clinical situations and patient needs. Anesthetics with both oral and IV forms provide versatility, allowing healthcare providers to tailor sedation and analgesia depending on factors such as the procedure type, patient health, and the desired onset of action. These anesthetics include midazolam, ketamine, and certain opioids, with some research on adding other drugs to this list.

In obstetric care, the choice of anesthesia plays a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and comfort of both mother and infant.

Research shows that cesarean deliveries under general anesthesia result in increased maternal complications, including greater blood loss and higher risks of infection, compared to neuraxial anesthesia.
