The Impact of Fluid Balance on Acute Kidney Injury in Nontraumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) can lead to poor neurologic outcomes, particularly when delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) occurs. Maintenance of euvolemia following SAH is thought to reduce the risk of DCI. However, attempts at maintaining euvolemia often err on the side of hypervolemia.

Regional anesthesia and the acute pain service: compliance and controversies.

Purpose Of Review: The aims of this article are three-fold: first, to describe the necessary elements that result in accurate and compliant billing practice; second, to discuss billing in the context of new blocks and liposomal bupivacaine; and third, to gain a better understanding of compliance law.

Recent Findings: Regional anesthesia techniques provide an appealing alternative to opioid medication for pain management. However, these techniques also increase the cost of care.
