The effect of preload on electromyographic train-of-four ratio at the first dorsal interosseous muscle during spontaneous recovery from neuromuscular blockade
This study compared the precision and agreement of electromyography with and without preload during recovery from non-depolarising neuromuscular blockade. After induction of anaesthesia and before neuromuscular blockade, the supramaximal current required at the first dorsal interosseous muscle with and without preload was determined. During recovery, train-of-four ratios were recorded using electromyography every 20 seconds. Alternating pairs of measurements (with and without preload) were obtained until spontaneous recovery was achieved. The preload device applied a resting tension of 75 –150 g to the thumb. Bland–Alt...

Preoperative gastric residual volumes in fasted patients measured by bedside ultrasound: a prospective observational study
The purpose of this prospective observational study was to measure gastric volumes in fasted patients using bedside gastric ultrasound. Patients presenting for non-emergency surgery underwent a gastric antrum assessment, using the two-diameter and free-trace methods to determine antral cross-sectional area (CSA). Gastric residual volume (GRV) was calculated using a validated formula. Univariate and multivariable analyses were performed to examine any potential relationships between ‘at risk’ GRVs (>100 ml) and patient factors. Two hundred and twenty-two successful scans were performed; of these 110 patients (49.5%) had...

Peripheral tissue oxygenation and the number of organs transplanted per donor
Current donor management practices target macrohaemodynamic parameters, but it is unclear if this leads to improvements in microvascular perfusion and tissue oxygenation; the latter may have more impact on organ status. In a recent preclinical study we determined that brain death impaired tissue perfusion and oxygen utilisation in swine while pharmacologic correction of these deficits improved organ function and reduced markers of tissue injury. As a first step in translating the preclinical findings, we conducted a prospective observational study to determine if there was an association between peripheral tissue oxygenati...
