Anesthesiologists are now able to incorporate the clarity and precision of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to treat chronic severe pain in patients with cancer and nerve injuries for whom other techniques have failed.
The demand for pain relief during labor and delivery by women is growing, and hospitals are doing an increasingly good job of satisfying that demand, according to the results of a survey presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists.
The use of local anesthetics to relieve surgical pain often works well but not long enough. Now, a timed-release version of a local anesthetic could help to solve this problem.
The same technology metereologists use to predict the weather could help anesthesiologists predict potentially hazardous conditions during major surgery.
An anesthesiologist's involvement in the care of surgical patients improves quality, reduces complications, saves lives and achieves these benefits cost-effectively compared to many other medical services, according to the results of a study.
Anesthesiologists working with surgeons have developed a patient care protocol that allows men to go home only one day after prostate cancer surgery without "pushing them out the door" or compromising the quality of their care in any way. The protocol also creates a new use for an old pain-killing compound.
The same deadly toxin that is often associated with botulism food poisoning can, in very low doses, safely bring enduring relief to patients suffering from chronic low back pain, researchers at Louisiana State University's (LSU) Health Sciences Center in Shreveport reported.
Imagine having surgery under general anesthesia and then waking up afterward with no residual drowsiness. That could one day become a reality for surgical patients, thanks to the common goldfish and fireflies.
In terms of higher pregnancy rates and patient satisfaction but at less cost, spinal anesthesia (SA) emerges as the superior anesthetic choice over general anesthesia (GA) for oocyte, or egg, retrieval procedures for in vitro fertilization (IVF), according to research conducted at Boston脙颅s Massachusetts General Hospital.
The development of adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLTx) about two years ago vastly increases the pool of potential donors for patients in need of healthy livers. The surgery offers new hope to patients with liver failure, including the 12,000 individuals in this country currently waiting for transplants.
