Anesthesiology News
![]() In July, Dr. Sunitha Singh was interviewed about the poster she presented at the 2019 Annual Congress of the American Society for Enhanced Recovery. She had surveyed US hospitals about their use of ERAS in different types of surgery. More than half of hospitals reported that they had ERAS programs for colorectal, gynecology and orthopedic surgery. At the other end, fewer than 15% had ERAS programs for ENT, vascular and cardiac surgeries. The October issue, Jamie Romeiser was quoted on the feasibility studies she did on electronic capture of perioperative patient-reported outcomes. She had presented her results in two posters from the ASER meeting. She reported that nearly three-quarters of patients responded with an email and text combined approach,an extremely high compared to usual hospital surveys. Last month, Zhaosheng Jin's new systematic review and meta-analysis, presented at the IARS meeting, was discussed. His work concluded that patients undergoing TIVA with propofol had lower rates of cancer recurrence and higher rates of recurrence-free survival than those receiving a volatile anesthetics. However, there was no significant difference between groups in overall mortality. ![]() |
