Curr Opin Anaesthesiol
December 2024
Purpose Of Review: Medication administration errors represent a significant yet preventable cause of patient harm in the peripartum period. Implementation of best practices contained in this manuscript can significantly reduce medication errors and associated patient harm.
Recent Findings: Cases of medication errors involving unintended intrathecal administration of tranexamic acid highlight the need to improve medication safety in peripartum patients and obstetric anesthesia.

The Source of Nasal Rustle (Nasal Turbulence): An Overview of Current Evidence.
Cleft Palate Craniofac J
August 2024
Objective: (also called ) refers to a loud distracting sound that sometimes occurs with audible nasal emission (ANE) during the production of pressure-sensitive consonants in patients with velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). This article examines evidence for two hypotheses of causality: vibration of the soft palate () and periodic motion of mucus above the velopharyngeal port ().
Conclusion: A review of the relevant literature shows inconclusive evidence to support velar flutter as a cause of nasal rustle.
