A weighing method for measuring nitrous oxide leakage from hospital manifold-pipeline networks. Anaesth. Intensive Care (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2023-11-25 Steven J Gaff,Victor X Chen,Eugenie Kayak
Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting agent with a long atmospheric lifetime. Several previous reports indicate that over half of supplied nitrous oxide is wasted from leaking manifold-pipeline systems infrastructure prior to patient use, and that remediating leaks can have significant environmental benefits. We describe an accurate, simple and cost-effective cylinder weighing

Severely ill patients with COVID-19 are challenging to sedate and often require high-dose sedation and analgesic regimens. Ketamine can be an effective adjunct to facilitate sedation of critically ill patients but its effects on sedation level and inflammation in COVID-19 patients have not been studied. This retrospective, observational cohort study evaluated the effect of ketamine infusions on inflammatory

Airway management of lingual tonsillar hypertrophy: A narrative review. Anaesth. Intensive Care (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2023-11-25 Patrick Wong,Jamie W Sleigh
Lingual tonsillar hypertrophy is rarely identified on routine airway assessment but may cause difficulties in airway management. We conducted a narrative review of case reports of lingual tonsillar hypertrophy to examine associated patient factors, success rates of airway management techniques and complications. We searched the literature for anaesthetic management of cases with lingual tonsillar hypertrophy

Exploring anaesthetists' views on the carbon footprint of anaesthesia and identifying opportunities and challenges for reducing its impact on the environment. Anaesth. Intensive Care (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2023-11-24 Matilde Breth-Petersen,Alexandra L Barratt,Forbes McGain,Justin J Skowno,George Zhong,Andrew D Weatherall,Katy Jl Bell,Kristen M Pickles
A shift in practice by anaesthetists away from anaesthetic gases with high global warming potential towards lower emission techniques (e.g. total intravenous anaesthesia) could result in significant carbon savings for the health system. The purpose of this qualitative interview study was to understand anaesthetists' perspectives on the carbon footprint of anaesthesia, and views on shifting practice

Hypercarbia and high-flow nasal oxygen use during anaesthesia - risking a failure to thrive? Anaesth. Intensive Care (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2023-10-11 Gavin G Pattullo,Martin D Culwick,Yasmin Endlich,Ross D MacPherson
Prevention of arterial oxygen desaturation during anaesthesia with high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) has gained greater acceptance for a widening range of procedures. However, during HFNO use there remains the potential for development of significant anaesthesia-associated apnoea or hypoventilation and the possibility of hypercarbia, with harmful cardiovascular or neurological sequelae. The aim of this

SummaryOpioids are often used to provide postsurgical analgesia but may cause harm if used inappropriately. We introduced an opioid stewardship program in three Melbourne hospitals to reduce the inappropriate use of opioids after patient discharge. The program had four pillars: prescriber education, patient education, a standardised quantity of discharge opioids, and general practitioner (GP) communication

Uterine atony prophylaxis with carbetocin versus oxytocin and the risk of major haemorrhage during caesarean section: A retrospective cohort study. Anaesth. Intensive Care (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2023-06-14 Nico Cs Terblanche,James E Sharman,Mark A Jones,Kye Gregory,David J Sturgess
Carbetocin and oxytocin are commonly recommended agents for active management of the third stage of labour. Evidence is inconclusive whether either one more effectively reduces the occurrence of important postpartum haemorrhage outcomes at caesarean section. We examined whether carbetocin is associated with a lower risk of severe postpartum haemorrhage (blood loss ≥ 1000 ml) in comparison with oxytocin
