Aspiration during Monitored Anesthesia Care
To the Editor: An important study by Savilampi et al.1 demonstrating the rate of pulmonary aspiration in adults undergoing monitored anesthesia care with remifentanil was recently published in AneStheSiology. There is an important limitation of the study worth considering when interpreting the study results. The method of aspiration detection does not differentiate between pharyngeal-to-pulmona...

A retrospective study was performed to compare differences in hospital charges between monitored anesthesia care with retrobulbar block and general anesthesia among patients having vitrectomy. Of 128 consecutive patients undergoing vitrectomy between July 1996 and July 1997, group 1 received general anesthesia (n = 41), group 2 received monitored care anesthesia with retrobulbar block (n = 59),...
متن کاملAnesthesia providers' interventions during cataract extraction under monitored anesthesia care.
In 1993 Medicare paid more money to anesthesia providers for cataract surgery than for any other surgical procedure. Patients undergoing cataract surgery often receive monitored anesthesia care (MAC). Thus, cuts in anesthesia payments from Medicare for cataract surgery may be forthcoming. If few interventions were being done after a retrobulbar block was placed, then a registered nurse might be...
متن کاملLocal Anesthesia With Monitored Anesthesia Care vs General Anesthesia in Thyroidectomy: A Randomized Study.
BACKGROUND Early in the 20th century, thyroid surgery was performed using local anesthetic techniques. When general anesthesia became safer, surgeons started performing thyroidectomy exclusively under general anesthesia. However, recent descriptions of thyroidectomy under local anesthesia claim similar results to thyroidectomy under general anesthesia. Surgery conducted under local anesthesia c...
متن کاملMonitored anesthesia care (MAC) sedation: clinical utility of fospropofol
Fospropofol, a phosphorylated prodrug version of the popular induction agent propofol, is hydrolyzed in vivo to release active propofol, formaldehyde, and phosphate. Pharmacodynamic studies show fospropofol provides clinically useful sedation and EEG/bispectral index suppression while causing significantly less respiratory depression than propofol. Pain at the injection site, a common complaint...
