In certain clinical contexts, total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) offers distinct advantages as an alternative to inhalational anesthesia. By delivering anesthetic agents exclusively through intravenous infusions, typically combining a hypnotic such as propofol with a short-acting opioid like remifentanil, TIVA avoids the use of inhalational agents and their associated environmental and physiological effects.

A deep tissue peripheral nerve block is an anesthetic technique used to manage pain by targeting nerves located deeper within the body. Whereas superficial nerve blocks focus on more accessible, surface-level nerves, deep tissue peripheral nerve blocks utilize an injection of local anesthetics around specific nerves or nerve clusters situated deeper within tissues such as muscles, joints, or organs.

Pulse oximeters are devices that estimate the percentage of oxygen in the blood. Widely used in clinical settings, these tools have experienced growth in at-home usage since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, many people are unaware that their accuracy can vary based on skin tone.

Depending on how the pulse oximeter was designed and tested, this may result in people with darker skin tones receiving readings that are...

Opioid analgesics provide essential pain management in the perioperative setting. Despite growing concerns about opioid overuse and the potential for dependency, these medications continue to play a vital role in controlling moderate to severe acute pain when used appropriately. First-line opioid choices in the perioperative setting are determined by the nature of the procedure, patient-specific factors, and the anticipated intensity and duration of pain.

While generally safe, IVs carry a risk of infection if not properly maintained. Keeping an IV site clean is not just a matter of hygiene—it is a critical step in preventing potentially serious complications such as bloodstream infections, which can lead to sepsis or extended hospital stays.

Intravenous (IV) therapy is a common and essential part of modern medicine, allowing fluids, medications, and nutrients to be delivered directly into a

Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is a life-threatening condition that requires meticulous management, particularly during anesthesia. When ICP rises, the risk of brain ischemia and herniation increases, requiring a tailored anesthetic approach to optimize outcomes while minimizing additional pressure elevation.

Long-term neurological conditions following nerve blocks due to injury during the procedure are an important topic for anesthesiologists and pain specialists. While extensive research has examined the incidence rates of neurological complications associated with individual risk factors, little is known about how the interactions between these factors may change the effects of these conditions. With an incidence rate of 0.24%, these events are extremely rare; however, the morbidity associated with these injuries demands careful consideration and analysis of the contributing factors.

Orthopedic surgery, whether for joint replacement, fracture repair, spinal correction, or another procedure, is a major medical intervention aimed at restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving quality of life. However, the surgery itself is just the beginning of the journey toward full recovery. Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in helping patients regain strength, flexibility, and function after orthopedic surgery and must not be set aside
