• Episode 3: Managing Intraoperative VQ Mismatch: Key Insights from the Latest Research
    Sep 28 2024

    In the third episode of She and He: Two Voices in Anesthesia, we explore a recent article published in Anesthesiology that investigates the link between intraoperative ventilation-perfusion (VQ) mismatch and postoperative pulmonary complications in high-risk noncardiac surgeries. Our commentators, Sarah and James, walk us through the key findings of this study, highlighting how precise VQ monitoring can help anesthesiologists prevent serious complications like respiratory failure and pneumonia. After their insightful discussion, Javier Ripollés and Ángel Espinosa offer their clinical perspectives, sharing practical tips on improving intraoperative patient management in the OR. This is a must-listen episode for anyone involved in anesthesiology and perioperative care!

  • Episode 1: Exploring cerebral oximetry in high risk surgical patients
    Sep 24 2024
    In this first episode of She and He: 2 Voices in Anesthesia, Sarah Collins and James Carter discuss the use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for cerebral oximetry in high-risk surgical patients. Drawing on insights from Navarro-Perez et al. (2024), they explore how NIRS helps monitor brain oxygenation in cardiac and noncardiac surgeries and its role in preventing postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Tune in to learn about a new algorithm for managing cerebral desaturation and its impact on patient outcomes.
