Administration of periodic sighs at a frequency of one per minute, inspiratory pressure higher than 35 cm H2O, and inspiratory time of 3-5 s improves oxygenation, increases end-expiratory lung volume, and normalizes respiratory pattern and drive in ARDS patients undergoing pressure support ventilation.

Application of recruiting maneuvers improves oxygenation only in patients with early ARDS. In these patients chest wall and lung elastance are lower than in patients with late ARDS, in whom application of recruiting maneuvers does not substantially improve oxygenation.

Bispectral Index, A-Line ARX index from the middle-latency auditory evoked potentials, and predicted propofol effect-site concentration revealed information on the level of sedation and loss of consciousness but not on response to noxious stimulus.

Pretreatment with dexamethasone does not decrease extravascular lung water after cardiac surgery but decreases positive fluid balances and total extravascular fluid gain. A modification of intravascular volume status is not the cause of a suggested influence on cardiovascular performance.

Preoperative pulmonary vascular resistance correlated positively with pulmonary arterial pressure/systemic blood pressure ratio at the time of weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (r2 = 0.86; P < 0.05; n = 46).

The authors compared the effects of intravenous morphine and lidocaine on postamputation pain states, and observed that while stump pain was attenuated by both morphine and lidocaine, phantom pain was attenuated by morphine but not by lidocaine. The results suggest that the mechanism and pharmacological sensitivity of stump and phantom pains are different.

Commercially available infusion pumps operating during hyperbaric conditions demonstrate substantial variations in performance. It is important that the hyperbaric facility staff make a careful examination of such instruments to anticipate possible deviations in the accuracy of the equipment during use.

New-onset blurriness and perioperative changes in visual acuity lasting longer than 3 days were found in 28 of 671 surgical patients (4.2%). In 7 of the 28 patients (1% of total), these visual disturbances were significant enough to warrant visits to eye-care providers and resulted in either new corrective lens or changes in existing prescriptions. The symptoms usually resolved within 2 months in the remaining patients.

In a prospective multicenter observational cohort, the fiberoptic mixed venous saturation pulmonary artery catheter was used in 49% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. A small reduction in resource utilization and no major association with clinical outcome was observed.

Acute isovolemic reduction of hemoglobin concentration to 5.7 g/dl in unmedicated humans mildly slows the speed of human information processing, mildly degrades delayed memory, increases heart rate, and decreases self-assessed energy level. Administration of oxygen reverses all of these effects except the decreased energy level.

Using a test that measures the ease with which an individual falls asleep, residual drowsiness was measured up to 8 hr after drugs used for outpatient surgery.

Over a clinically relevant range of concentrations, thiopental stereoselectively enhanced γ-aminobutyric acid-mediated synaptic transmission in a way that reflects animal potencies, while having no significant effect on glutamatergic synapses.

Compared with adults, greater volatile anesthetic-induced myocardial depression in neonates was found to be attributable to greater inhibition of Ca2+ influx through Na+-Ca2+ exchange and influx channels rather than inhibition of sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning could induce ischemic tolerance in spinal cord of rabbits. It was hyperoxia, not hyperbaricity, that induced ischemic tolerance.

Morphine is a P-glycoprotein substrate but with less dependence than loperamide, a well-recognized substrate for P-glycoprotein. Fentanyl, sufentanil, and alfentanil do not appear to be P-glycoprotein substrates but showed inhibition of P-glycoprotein activity with relatively high IC50 values.

Peripheral administration of morphine and lamotrigine produced antinociception and had a synergistic interaction in the formalin test.
