Use of a Nasal Cannula as a Preoxygenation Adjunct: A Randomized Crossover Study
"The administration of oxygen through a nasal cannula during preoxygenation improves the efficacy of preoxygenation in healthy volunteers. Tidal volume breathing for three minutes achieves a higher end-tidal oxygen concentration compared to eight vital capacity breaths over one minute."
The role of acute inflammation in pain resolution: is it time to rethink the use of routine anti-inflammatories in surgical practice?
"converging lines of evidence point to the possibility that maladaptive inflammation due to perioperative use of anti-inflammatories, such as dexamethasone or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), may contribute to the development of this chronic postsurgical pain."
Dexmedetomidine versus labetalol for induced hypotension during functional endoscopic sinus surgery: a randomized, double-blind study
"Dexmedetomidine provided better hemodynamic stability and operative field visibility than Labetalol during FESS."
Methods for determining optimal positive end-expiratory pressure in patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation: a scoping review
"Numerous methods of determining optimal PEEP have been evaluated; however, notable gaps remain in the evidence supporting their use."
The effect of intravenous lidocaine infusion on subarachnoid anesthesia in patients undergoing total knee replacement: a randomised controlled trial
"under spinal anaesthesia, concurrent use of intravenous lidocaine prolonged sensory block and reduced postoperative analgesic requirements."
