Journal ArticleDOI
Preventing and treating pain after thoracic surgery.
TL;DR: Evidence-based strategies for preventing and treating pain after thoracic surgery, the most recognized pain syndrome associated with a specific surgery, are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term pain and activity during recovery from major thoracotomy using thoracic epidural analgesia
E. Andrew Ochroch,Allan Gottschalk,John Augostides,Kathryn A. Carson,Laura Kent,Nini Malayaman,Larry R. Kaiser,Stanley J. Aukburg +7 more
TL;DR: Although women reported significantly greater pain during hospitalization and after discharge, they experienced fewer complications, were more likely to be discharged from the hospital sooner, and were just as active after discharge as men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of laryngeal view: Percentage of glottic opening score vs Cormack and Lehane grading
TL;DR: The Cormack-Lehane grading system has very poor interphysician reliability and calls into question the results of previous studies in which different laryngoscopists used this method to assess laryngeal view.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous positive airway pressure via the Boussignac system immediately after extubation improves lung function in morbidly obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
Patrick J. Neligan,Guarav Malhotra,Michael Fraser,Noel N. Williams,Eric P. Greenblatt,Maurizio Cereda,E. Andrew Ochroch +6 more
TL;DR: Administration of continuous positive airway pressure immediately after extubation maintains spirometric lung function at 24 h after laparoscopic bariatric surgery better than continuous positiveAirway pressure started in the postanesthesia care unit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obstructive sleep apnea is not a risk factor for difficult intubation in morbidly obese patients.
Patrick J. Neligan,Steven B. Porter,Bryan Max,Guarav Malhotra,Eric P. Greenblatt,E. Andrew Ochroch +5 more
TL;DR: In MO patients undergoing bariatric surgery in the “ramped position,” there was no relationship between the presence and severity of OSA, BMI, or NC and difficulty of intubation or laryngoscopy, as determined by apnea-hypopnea index, gender, and body mass index.
