With a brief summary of selected literature identified by a multidisciplinary panel of subject matter experts, the authors share their experience with the development of an institutional perioperative pain management guideline for patients on maintenance medication for addiction treatment (MAT), stressing the importance of perioperative continuation of opioid agonists such as methadone and partial agonists such as buprenorphine; and the discontinuation of opioid antagonists, such as naltrexone. The authors' protocol is appended as an example of a standardized approach to perioperative management of patients on MAT.

In 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic interrupted the administration of the APPLIED Examination, the final part of the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) staged examination system for initial certification. In response, the ABA developed, piloted, and implemented an Internet-based "virtual" form of the examination to allow administration of both components of the APPLIED Exam (Standardized Oral Examination and Objective Structured Clinical Examination) when it was impractical and unsafe for candidates and examiners to travel and have in-person interactions. This article describes the development of the ABA virtual APPLIED Examination, including its rationale, examination format, technology infrastructure, candidate communication, and examiner training. Although the logistics are formidable, we report a methodology for successfully introducing a large-scale, high-stakes, 2-element, remote examination that replicates previously validated assessments.

How to redesign the incentives structure in the United States to reward effective coordinated care rather than production volume is a staggering public health policy challenge. In the mind of the public, there is a fine distinction between health care rationing and rational health care. Specialists have a vital but underappreciated role in reining in health care costs, but specific incentives to elicit behavior change with positive social outcomes remain ambiguous. It is imperative, therefore, that redesigning the incentives structure is thoughtfully considered, modeled, and tested prior to implementation, lest an inferior-quality model is inadvertently adopted and costs are only marginally contained. Quality metrics need to be universal and reflect real patient outcomes instead of the degree of investment by the institution in the reporting tools. Still, specialists should take immediate action to implement safe and efficient procedures and to assess their long-term impact on patients' quality of life. Scientific evaluations should guide both the assessment of the appropriateness and the safe delivery of care. Investment in high-quality data architecture and the science of health delivery implementation is an imperative if health care reform is to achieve its goals. Coordination and collaboration between specialists and primary care physicians is essential to this enterprise. Specialists can champion these efforts as they pertain to their areas of expertise by considering their care episodes in the context of the patient as a whole, working closely with generalists, and returning to the mindset of the specialist as a family doctor.

BACKGROUND: Incentives based on quality indicators such as the Surgical Care Improvement Project core measures (SCIP 1) encourage implementation of evidence-based guidelines consistently into clinical practice. Information systems with point-of-care electronic prompts (POCEPs) can facilitate adoption of processes and benchmark performance. We evaluated the effectiveness of POCEPs on rates of antibiotic administration within 60 minutes of surgical incision and effect on outcome in a prospective observational trial. METHODS: SCIP 1 compliance and the corresponding outcome variable (surgical site infection [SSI]) were examined prospectively over 2 consecutive 6-month periods before (A) and after (B) POCEPs implementation at a regional health system. Secondary analysis extended the observation to two 12-month periods (A and B). A 2-year (C and D) sustainability phase followed. RESULTS: The 19,744 procedures included 9127 and 10,617 procedures before (A) and after (B) POCEPs implementation, respectively. POCEPs increased compliance with SCIP indicators in period B by 31% (95% CI, 30.0%–32.2%) from 62% to 92% (P 0.001) and were associated with a sustainable, contemporaneous decrease in the incidence of SSI from 1.1% to 0.7% (P 0.003; absolute risk reduction, 0.4%; 95% CI, 0.1%–0.7%). Secondary and sustainability analysis revealed that compliance rates remained 95% with mean SSI rates lower for all periods compared with pre-POCEPs SSI rates (0.8%, 0.7%, and 0.5% vs 1.1%; P 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: POCEPs increased compliance with SCIP indicators by 30% and were associated with a 0.4% absolute risk reduction in the incidence of SSI. POCEPs may be useful to modulate provider behavior and demonstrate intraoperative quality and value. (Anesth Analg 2011;113:869–76)

The vascular response to hypoxia in endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide; LPS)-exposed rat pulmonary artery (PA) and thoracic aorta (AO) was investigated and the mechanism of the observed hypoxic responses defined. In isometric tension studies, LPS-treated AO and PA rings, with and without endothelium, demonstrated decreased (P < 0.05) contractile response to phenylephrine (PE EC50), and the dose response was shifted to the right (P < 0.01) compared with non-LPS treated rings. Both vessel types responded to hypoxia with a markedly increased (P < 0.01) and sustained (P < 0.01) constriction when preexposed to LPS. Control non-LPS rings with endothelium intact had a transient vasoconstriction in early hypoxia, which was abolished with removal of the endothelium. N omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), an inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthase, increased the PE EC50 tension in LPS-treated rings, markedly reduced the duration and magnitude of the hypoxic vasoconstriction in LPS-treated rings, and attenuated the transient vasoconstriction seen in endothelium-intact, non-LPS rings (all P < 0.05). L-Arginine reversed the L-NAME effects. Hypoxia decreased guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) content 54 +/- 4% in all LPS and 33 +/- 4% in the non-LPS intact rings (P < 0.05). L-NAME reduced cGMP content 90 +/- 5% in all LPS rings. Indomethacin inhibited formation of a constriction factor in aortic LPS-treated rings (P < 0.01) that was endothelium dependent and unaffected by the presence of L-NAME.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Previous systematic investigations of the hemostatic effects of normovolemic hemodilution (NHD) have not explored the influence of hematocrits less than 20% in humans or animals. However, clinical interest in maximizing the perioperative conservation of erythrocytes may involve profound NHD beyond traditionally accepted empiric end points. We report here on coagulation data in eight healthy adolescent patients undergoing profound NHD in concert with surgical correction of idiopathic scoliosis, and in 29 swine undergoing experimental stepwise NHD until death. Blood was replaced with 5% albumin in 0.9% saline in our patients, and with 5% albumin in lactated Ringer's solution in our pigs. A 75% blood volume exchange in our patients yielded a platelet count (PLT) of 158 +/- 26 x 10(3)/microL, fibrinogen concentration (FIB), 50 +/- 7 mg/dL, prothrombin time (PT), 25.4 +/- 2.6 s, activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), 87 +/- 15s, and a nadir hemoglobin of 2.8 +/- 0.2 g/dL; however, global oxygen delivery as assessed by body oxygen consumption remained adequate. Coagulation during the experimental porcine hemodilution was assessed by measuring PLT, FIB, PT, and aPTT, as well as by measurement of coagulation factor activities. In neither species did clinically significant thrombocytopenia (PLT < 100 x 10(3)/ microL) become manifest prior to clinical or other laboratory evidence of coagulopathy. Rather, a combined deficiency of coagulation factors explains the coagulopathy developing during NHD in both patients and swine. Abnormal hemostasis develops prior to compromise of global tissue oxygenation, assessed by mixed venous oxygen saturation and total body oxygen consumption, during NHD in healthy patients anesthetized as described. Therefore, NHD may be more limited by preservation of normal coagulation than of global oxygen delivery and consumption.

Previous investigators have identified an aortic-to-radial artery pressure gradient thought to develop during rewarming and discontinuation of cardiopulmonary bypass. The authors measured mean aortic and radial artery pressures before, during, and after cardiopulmonary bypass in 30 patients, to determine when the pressure gradient develops. The pressure gradient was also measured before and after intravenous injections of sodium nitroprusside (1 microgram/kg) and phenylephrine (7 micrograms/kg) to determine the effect of changes in systemic vascular resistance. A significant (P less than 0.05) pressure gradient (mean +/- SEM = 4.9 +/- 0.7 mmHg) developed upon initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass. This gradient did not change significantly during the middle of bypass (4.2 +/- 0.5 mmHg), with rewarming (4.8 +/- 0.7 mmHg), immediately prior to discontinuation of bypass (4.6 +/- 0.7), or 5 and 10 min following bypass (4.9 +/- 0.9 and 4.8 +/- 0.7 mmHg). Sodium nitroprusside significantly decreased systemic vascular resistance, by 15 +/- 2%, during the middle of bypass but did not affect the pressure gradient. Likewise, phenylephrine increased the systemic vascular resistance by 52 +/- 6% and 34 +/- 4% during the middle of bypass and rewarming, respectively, without affecting the pressure gradient. Although the exact mechanisms responsible for the pressure gradient remain unknown, these results suggest its etiology is associated with events occurring during initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass rather than with rewarming or discontinuation of cardiopulmonary bypass.

Endotracheal intubation following anesthesia induction frequently produces hypertension and tachycardia. This study evaluated the efficacy of preinduction IV labetalol for attenuating the hemodynamic responses to intubation following thiopental and succinylcholine induction of anesthesia. Two hours after diazepam (10 mg by mouth), 60 patients were randomized in a double-blind manner and received IV saline or labetalol at doses of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, or 1 mg/kg in a parallel design study. Five minutes later, thiopental (4 mg/kg) and succinylcholine (1 mg/kg) were administered, and the trachea was intubated in 2 minutes. Nitrous oxide (70%) anesthesia was maintained for 10 minutes. Hemodynamic parameters were grouped and analyzed for significance (p less than 0.05) by two-way repeated measures analysis of variance and t-test with Bonferroni adjustments. Baseline group demographics and hemodynamics were comparable. All doses of labetalol significantly attenuated the rate-pressure product increase immediately postintubation versus placebo. There was a dose-dependent attenuation of the increases in heart rate and the systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressures versus placebo following intubation. IV labetalol at doses up to 0.75 mg/kg offers an effective pharmacologic means of attenuating preoperative hemodynamic responses to endotracheal intubation.
