Epidural anesthesia and cancer recurrence rates after radical prostatectomy.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: No difference was observed between the epidural and control groups in disease-free survival at a median follow-up time of 4.5 years. There is a need for large randomized controlled trials to determine the ability of epidural analgesia to alter disease recurrence rates following radical prostatectomy.

Persistency and pathway of isoflurane-induced inhibition of superoxide production by neutrophils.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Isoflurane administration caused prolonged (from 24 to 48 hr) decreases in agonist-induced SOP by neutrophils. This effect involved inhibition at site(s) in the signalling pathway upstream from protein kinase C. The current findings suggest that the intraoperative use of isoflurane may result in an extended impairment to the antibacterial host defense mechanism and that neutrophil inhibition may play a role in the delayed tissue protection afforded by treatment with volatile anesthetics.

CONCLUSIONS: The GlideScope((R)) Cobalt has similar performance characteristics compared with the conventional GlideScope((R)) videolaryngoscope when used for orotracheal intubation.

CONCLUSIONS: When compared with 45 mg isobaric mepivacaine 1.5%, an intrathecal dose of 30 mg isobaric mepivacaine 1.5% plus 10 mug fentanyl produces reliable anesthesia, hastens block regression, shortens stay in Phase I recovery, and enables earlier ambulation for patients undergoing unilateral knee arthroscopy (Registration no.

Cerebral cortical gene expression in acutely anemic rats: a microarray analysis.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: This study utilizes microarray technology to elucidate changes in cerebral cortical gene expression in response to acute hemodilution. These findings demonstrate an increase in pro-inflammatory chemokines (RNA, protein) and cytokines (protein). An improved understanding of the inflammatory response to anemia may help to minimize associated morbidity and mortality.

Innovations in anesthesia education: the development and implementation of a resident rotation for advanced airway management.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Anesthesia training programs must provide residents with the skill sets necessary for safe independent practice in airway management. The changes in the scope and reality of residency training have exposed limitations in the traditional mentoring model of residency training; consequently, many programs have responded by offering sub-specialty rotations. In particular, advanced airway management rotations are being offered increasingly to residents in the Canadian training programs. Considerations and strategies to develop and implement a structured airway management program during anesthesia residency are disc...

CONCLUSION: Due to intraoperative inacessibility, the system of patient ID banding has inherent limitations as a means for providing consistent pre-transfusion checks in surgical patients.
