TL;DR: Remote ischemic preconditioning with transient upper limb ischemia with repetitive inflation of a cuff around the left upper arm before surgery enhances myocardial protection in patients undergoing CABG surgery with antegrade cold crystalloid cardioplegia.

TL;DR: Impaired inspiratory flow and upper airway obstruction frequently occur during minimal neuromuscular blockade (TOF ratio 0.8), and extubation may put the patient at risk, although a TOF ratio of unity predicts a high probability of adequate recovery from neuromUScular blockade.

TL;DR: The identification of this unique signaling signature of RIPC will facilitate the development of pharmacological cardioprotection in humans and help to protect the heart from infarction.

TL;DR: Assessment of supraglottic airway diameter and volume by respiratory-gated magnetic resonance imaging, upper airway dilator muscle function (genioglossus force and EMG), and changes in lung volume, respiratory timing, and peripheral muscle function before, during, and after partial neuromuscular blockade in healthy, awake volunteers concluded that impaired neuromUScular transmission markedly impairs upperAirway dimensions and function.

TL;DR: Remote ischemic preconditioning during prop ofol anesthesia did not evoke either signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 activation or cardioprotection, implying interaction of propofol with cardiop rotective signaling upstream of signal transducers and activators of transcription5.
