The Brody effect highlights the relationship between intracavitary blood volume and the heart’s electrical activity, which, in turn, offers a dynamic tool to gauge volume responsiveness. Since blood is an excellent conductor of electricity, variable preload can lead to variable ECG readings, namely the amplitude of the R-wave in lead II. For example, increased left ventricular (LV) volume heightens radial electrical forces and increases the QRS amplitude.

Long-term neurological conditions following nerve blocks due to injury during the procedure are an important topic for anesthesiologists and pain specialists. While extensive research has examined the incidence rates of neurological complications associated with individual risk factors such as type of nerve block, pre-existing neuropathies, intraneural injections, mechanical trauma, anesthetic neurotoxicity, and iatrogenic injuries from surgery, little is known about how the interactions between

Paravertebral nerve blocks (PVBs) are regional anesthetic techniques that target the paravertebral space (PVS), where spinal nerves emerge from the intervertebral foramina. They allow for segmental, unilateral anesthesia without the sympathectomy and motor blockade seen in neuraxial techniques. To facilitate extubation in the OR and a shorter overall hospital course, I’ll perform these pre-operatively as part of our robotic cardiac surgery procedures.

Fiberoptic intubation (FOI) is a valuable technique for managing difficult airways in both anticipated and unanticipated scenarios. This method allows for direct visualization of the airway anatomy and precise placement of the endotracheal tube, making it particularly useful in patients with challenging airway characteristics. FOI can be performed on awake or anesthetized patients, with the awake technique being preferred for those with anticipated difficult airways.

B-lines are a vertical “comet-tail” artifact seen on lung ultrasound. They represent interstitial edema or increased lung water in thickened subpleural interlobular septa. In other words, B-lines represent fluid in the lungs (e.g., pulmonary edema, heart failure, etc.). When performing lung ultrasound, I use a high-frequency linear probe and begin with the anterior and lateral chest views while the patient is positioned supine.
