Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among anesthesia practitioners concerning perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND).
Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled anesthesia practitioners from 18 hospitals in China using s self-administered questionnaire between July and September 2023.
Results: A total of 200 (98.04 %) valid questionnaire were enrolled, the responders of which aged 36.56 ± 8.24 years, including 130 (65 %) females. The mean KAP scores were 12.28 ± 3.78 (possible range: 0 20),29.22 ± 3.28 (possible range: 8-40), and 29.32 ± 4.30 (possible range: 8-40), respectively. The path analysis demonstrated that number of daily surgical cases (β = 0.82, p = 0.018), education (β = 1.49, p < 0.001), and participation in a related research project (β = 1.32, p = 0.003) had direct effects on knowledge. Working in teaching hospital has direct effect on attitude (β = 1.82, p = 0.027). Furthermore, knowledge (β = 0.29, p < 0.001) and attitude (β = 0.20, p = 0.026) also have direct effects on practice.
Conclusions: Anesthesia practitioners had inadequate knowledge, positive attitude, and proactive practice towards PND. Number of daily surgical cases, education, participation in a related research project, and working in teaching hospital might have effects on their KAP.

Introduction Spinal anesthesia, a commonly used technique for lower abdominal, pelvic, and lower extremity surgeries, involves injecting a local anesthetic into the subarachnoid space to temporarily block sensory, motor, and sympathetic nerves. Despite its high success rate, the failure of spinal anesthesia, which can lead to adverse patient outcomes, remains a concern. The failure rate varies widely, from 1% to 17%, influenced by factors such as technical challenges, patient anatomy, and practitioner experience.

Anesthetic gases contribute to global warming. We described a two-year performance improvement project to examine the association of individualized provider dashboard feedback of anesthetic gas carbon dioxide equivalent (CDE) production and median perioperative fresh gas flows (FGF) during general anesthetics during perioperative management. Using a custom structured query language (SQL) query, hourly CDE for each anesthetic gas and median FGF were determined.

Background: Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a rare, sporadic neurocutaneous disorder affecting the skin, brain, and eyes, due to somatic activating mutations in GNAQ or, less commonly, GNA11 gene. It is characterized by at least two of the following features: a facial capillary malformation, leptomeningeal vascular malformation, and ocular involvement. The spectrum of clinical manifestations includes headache, seizures, stroke-like events, intellectual disability, glaucoma, facial asymmetry, gingival hyperplasia, etc.

Background: Canadian Veterans experiencing chronic pain report concerns about accessing accurate information on the risks associated with medical cannabis (MC) use. The Lower Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines (LRCUG) were developed to equip individuals who use cannabis recreationally with safer-use strategies. Many of the harm reduction recommendations for recreational cannabis use are relevant and important considerations for MC use.

Introduction: Many interventional strategies are commonly used to treat chronic low back pain (CLBP), though few are specifically intended to target the distinct underlying pathomechanisms causing low back pain. Restorative neurostimulation has been suggested as a specific treatment for mechanical CLBP resulting from multifidus dysfunction. In this randomized controlled trial, we report outcomes from a cohort of patients with CLBP associated with multifidus dysfunction treated with restorative neurostimulation compared to those randomized to a control group receiving optimal medical management (OMM) over 1 year.
