TLDR
Near‐infrared spectroscopy provides noninvasive continuous access to the venous side of regional circulations that can approximate organ‐specific and global measures to facilitate the detection of circulatory abnormalities and drive goal‐directed interventions to reduce end‐organ ischemic injury.Abstract:
The safety of anesthesia has improved greatly in the past three decades. Standard perioperative monitoring, including pulse oximetry, has practically eliminated unrecognized arterial hypoxia as a cause for perioperative injury. However, most anesthesia-related cardiac arrests in children are now cardiovascular in origin, and standard monitoring is unable to detect many circulatory abnormalities. Near-infrared spectroscopy provides noninvasive continuous access to the venous side of regional circulations that can approximate organ-specific and global measures to facilitate the detection of circulatory abnormalities and drive goal-directed interventions to reduce end-organ ischemic injury.read more

Propofol and thiopental for intravenous induction in neonates: Study protocol for a dose‐finding trial
TL;DR: In this article , a knowledge gap exists concerning the pharmacodynamics of induction doses of propofol and thiopental in neonatal anesthesia, and a limited data about the anesthetic induction dose is available.

TL;DR: Use of aminophylline dosed at 5 mg/kg is safe and leads to improvement in urine output and fluid balance without negatively impacting systemic oxygen delivery or renal filtration function.

Noninvasive, infrared monitoring of cerebral and myocardial oxygen sufficiency and circulatory parameters
TL;DR: Observations by infrared transillumination in the exposed heart and in the brain in cephalo without surgical intervention show that oxygen sufficiency for cytochrome a,a3, function, changes in tissue blood volume, and the average hemoglobin-oxyhemoglobin equilibrium can be recorded effectively and in continuous fashion for research and clinical purposes.

TL;DR: The goal of therapy for bradycardia or tachycardia is to rapidly identify and treat patients who are hemodynamically unstable or symptomatic due to the arrhythmia.

Reporting and preventing medical mishaps: lessons from non-medical near miss reporting systems
Paul Barach,Stephen D. Small +1 more
TL;DR: Focusing on data for near misses may add noticeably more value to quality improvement than a sole focus on adverse events, and an environment fostering a rich reporting culture must be created to capture accurate and detailed data about nuances of care.

Persistent microcirculatory alterations are associated with organ failure and death in patients with septic shock.
TL;DR: Microcirculatory alterations improve rapidly in septic shock survivors but not in patients dying with multiple organ failure, regardless of whether shock has resolved.
