Placing post-operative sedated adults in the lateral versus supine position results in each of the following except:
In pediatric patients, receiving pre-emptive preprocedural oxygenation or procedural oxygenation is associated with having a lower risk of airway, breathing and circulation interventions during sedation compared with patients not receiving procedural oxygenation.
Therapeutic suggestions played through earphones during general anaesthesia may provide a technique to reduce postoperative pain and opioid use.
Spinal anesthesia for hip fracture surgery in older adults is superior to general anesthesia with respect to survival and recovery of ambulation at 60 days.
Increased supraphysiological oxygen administration during surgery is associated with a higher incidence of kidney, myocardial, and lung injury.
