  • Intraoperative ventilation: incidence and risk factors for receiving large tidal volumes during general anesthesia

    There is a growing concern of the potential injurious role of ventilatory over-distention in patients without lung injury. No formal guidelines exist for intraoperative ventilation settings, but the use of tidal volumes (VT) under 10mL/kg predicted body weight (PBW) has been recommended in healthy patients. We explored the incidence and risk factors for receiving large tidal volumes (VT>10mL/kg PBW).

  • Towards better control of chronic pain

    Chronic pain is common (affecting about 15% of the population), challenging (increasing consultation rate five-fold), and costly (£18 billion in lost earnings in the UK in 2002). Despite the heavy social burden, outcomes are disappointing; symptoms are poorly controlled, are seldom managed by experts, are often long-standing, and the risk of suicide is increased. Therefore, publication in April of new guidelines from the American Society of Anesthesiologists for management of chronic pain unrelated to cancer should be welcomed.

  • General anaesthesia versus local anaesthesia for carotid surgery

    The effect of carotid endarterectomy in lowering the risk of stroke ipsilateral to severe atherosclerotic carotid-artery stenosis is offset by complications during or soon after surgery.
