Targeting
Anesthesia Care
|
Anesthesia in the Target!
"Targeting
Anesthesia Care" is our current theme and completes the
9th volume of Clinical Window Web Journal.
Anesthesiologists optimize care according to the clinical needs of a
patient. There are generalized guidelines or care algorithms, but we should
also take into account inter-individual variability of a patient. I have
selected two articles as examples from different methods of anesthesiology,
intravenous and regional anesthesia.
The "Computer Assisted Intravenous Anesthesia"
-article comes from the research team of Prof. L. Barvais (Brussels, Belgium).
At the Erasmus University Hospital, they have studied the subject extensively,
and they report on their developments from both practical and theoretical
perspectives.
In their practical article "Ultrasound-Guided Upper Extremity
Blocks" Drs. Morito and Popovic (New York, USA) illustrate
how ultrasound can display new landmarks, creating new alternatives in
regional anesthesia.
In total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), we can use pharmacological algorithms
to target drug concentrations according to population based PK/PD modeling.

Our recent issues
(November 2008)
New clinical
area: Neonatal Care
Our 25th issue did extend its scope to neonatal intensive care units (NICU),
with a topic: "Early
Health and Neonatal Care". CW has been collaborating with
the NICU professionals' international web site that is closely linked
to Karolinska University Hospital In Stockholm, Sweden. I am extremely
happy to publish clinical articles "99nicu" team has prepared
for this Clinical Window (and there will be more in the future).
Dr. Johansson reviewed how Preterm birth predisposes to cardiovascular
disease in adulthood, and Dr. Rakow elucidated clinically important
facts regarding Acute renal failure in the newborn. More...

Airway
Suction and Lung Spirometry was our #24th issue. There
was a clinical paper by B. Almgren PhD on Airway Suction,
(plus her popular CW presentation slides from ISICEM). In addition, inventor
of Spriodynamics, prof Ola Stenqvist (Gothenburg) had prepared for CW
his article on Alveolar P/V curves and regional lung mechanics
- and there is more. Click

Clinical Window: "Infection control in mechanical ventilation"
We made it again as part of the ISICEM scientific program in Brussels
(March 2008) and we had a packed room of over 150 participants.
Thanks to our two speakers who made this an excellent educational seminar
on Noninvasive ventilation, infection control and proper means to suction
our high demanding intensive care patients. Active discussions. Excellent
to meet so many health care professionals, your feed-back is always appreciated.
