INTRODUCTION: The importance of functional right ventricular failure and resultant splanchnic venous congestion has long been under-appreciated and is difficult to assess by traditional physical examination and standard diagnostic imaging. The recent development of the venous excess ultrasound score (VExUS) and growth of point-of-care ultrasound in the last decade has made for a potentially very useful clinical tool.

It's interesting to observe a hospital process (or lack thereof) when a family member needs surgery. I had the opportunity to do so one day last week. I originally shared this on LinkedIn as a post and real-time updates. Thankfully, the clinical care seemed to be good, and that family member is recovering well from the outpatient procedure. But, the experience could have been better.

In the realm of healthcare reform, the American Society of Anesthesiologists has coined the concept of the “Three Rs” – delivering the right care, in the right place, at the right time. However, when it comes to anesthesia management, Somnia proposes expanding this framework to encompass two additional Rs: the right provider and the right cost.
2 atrioventricular block – Mobitz I (often referred to as the Wenckebach phenomenon) is characterized by the progressive lengthening of the PR interval with each successive heartbeat until a beat is completely blocked (a P wave not followed by a QRS complex). Mobitz I generally involves progressive fatigue of AV nodal cells until they fail to conduct an impulse (the dropped beat).
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are among the most common complications following surgery, affecting a significant proportion of patients. These unpleasant symptoms can lead to serious consequences, including dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, increased pain, and dissatisfaction with the surgical experience. Moreover, severe cases of PONV can result in complications such as wound dehiscence and increased healthcare costs due to prolonged hospital stays.

Awareness during anesthesia is a rare but profoundly distressing condition that can occur when a patient becomes conscious during surgery and has recall of their surroundings or events related to the operation. This phenomenon, although occurring in a very small fraction of all surgical procedures, poses significant psychological risks, including the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The potential implications of prenatal exposure to anesthesia have become a topic of significant scientific inquiry and clinical concern. Recent studies suggest a possible association between prenatal anesthesia exposure and an increased risk of behavioral disorders in children, prompting a reevaluation of safety protocols and guidelines in obstetric anesthesia.
In this fluoroscopy clip, one appreciates that attempting to remove a Swan-Ganz catheter results in traction near the cavoatrial junction. Ultimately, the Swan had to be removed through a small right atriotomy revealing that the catheter was trapped by a stitch. It just goes to show that if something isn’t the way it should be, we need to think about possible problems, ask for help, and always do the right thing for the patient.
2° atrioventricular block – Mobitz I (often referred to as the Wenckebach phenomenon) is characterized by the progressive lengthening of the PR interval with each successive heartbeat until a beat is completely blocked (a P wave not followed by a QRS complex). Mobitz I generally involves progressive fatigue of AV nodal cells until they fail to conduct an impulse (the dropped beat).
