- 1From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Given the expanding scope of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and its variable impact on drug pharmacokinetics as observed in neonatal studies, it is imperative that the effects of the device on...
- 2From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Although a device is needed to continuously measure blood glucose levels within an intensive care setting, and several large-scale prospective studies have shown that patients might benefit from intensive...
- 3From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Practices for withholding or withdrawing therapy vary according to professional, cultural and religious differences. No Danish-validated questionnaire examining withholding and withdrawing practices...
- 4From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The purpose of our study was to organize the literature regarding the efficacy of modern videolaryngoscopes in oral endotracheal intubation, then perform a quality assessment according to recommended...
- 5From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Intravenous fluid is recommended in international guidelines to improve patient post-operative symptoms, particularly nausea and vomiting. The optimum fluid regimen has not been established. This...

The functional comorbidity index had high inter-rater reliability in patients with acute lung injury
Background The Functional Comorbidity Index (FCI) was recently developed to predict physical function in acute lung injury patients using comorbidity data. Our objectives were to determine: (1) the inter-rater... - 7From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground ERCP practically requires moderate to deep sedation controlled by a combination of benzodiazepine and opiod. Propofol as a sole agent may cause oversedation. A combination (cocktail) of infused propofol,...
- 8From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is well documented in the critically ill. We assessed 1-year mortality in relation to cardiac biomarkers and LV function parameters by echocardiography in patients with...
- 9From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground New laryngoscopes have become available for use in small children. The aim of the study was to compare the Storz[R] videolaryngoscope (SVL) to the Airtraq[R] Optical laryngoscope (AOL) for tracheal...
- 10From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Mean arterial pressure above 65 mmHg is recommended for critically ill hypotensive patients whereas they do not benefit from supranormal cardiac output values. In this study we investigated if the increase...
- 11From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Videolaryngoscopy presents a new approach for the management of the difficult and rescue airway. There is little available evidence to compare the performance features of these devices in true difficult...
- 12From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The efficacy of epidural steroid injections in the management of chronic low back pain is disputed, yet the technique remains popular amongst physicians and patients alike. This study assesses the cost...
- 13From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Reduced muscle strength- commonly characterized by decreased handgrip strength compared to population norms- is associated with numerous untoward outcomes. Preoperative handgrip strength is a potentially...
- 14From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Electrolyte values are measured in most critically ill intensive care unit (ICU) patients using both an arterial blood gas analyzer (ABG) and a central laboratory auto-analyzer (AA). The aim of the present...
- 15From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground We made a survey among Finnish anesthesiologists concerning the current perioperative anesthetic practice of hip fracture patients for further development in patient care. Methods All members of the...
- 16From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Increasing numbers of elective surgical procedures are performed as day-cases. The impact of ambulatory surgery on health-related quality of life in the recovery period has seldom been described....
- 17From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The widespread of hallux valgus surgery in a day care setting enhanced the role of regional anaesthesia in the last few years. Sciatic nerve block at popliteal fossa has been shown to provide safe and...
- 18From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Sevoflurane potently enhances glycine receptor currents and more modestly decreases NMDA receptor currents, each of which may contribute to immobility. This modest NMDA receptor antagonism by sevoflurane...
- 19From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Approximately 90 haemoglobinopathies have been identified that result in abnormally high oxygen affinity. One of these is haemoglobinopathy York (HbY), first described in 1976. HbY causes an extreme...
- 20From: BMC Anesthesiology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground United States anesthesia research production declined sharply from 1980-2005. Whether this trend has continued despite recent calls to improve output is unknown. We conducted an observational internet...
