Ivan: The cochrane conclusion here sums it up for me. The use of lide does not eliminate sore throat, but only approaches significance-i.e remained not ...

Dino, As soon as a patient is sent to one of our ICUs, they get changed to an ET with a suction port, with the intention of trying to prevent the pneumonia...

Dino, I would have to check with our intensivists about their effectiveness, but they seem to be happy with them. When we know someone will be intubated for a...
In the last several years my anesthesia practice seems to have become the "4 O's"...obesity (elective bariatrics), orthopedics (evening add-on cases), oral...
