Epidural Blood Patch for the Treatment of Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension: A Case Series.

Background: Epidural blood patch (EBP) is frequently used for the treatment of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) and anesthesiologists are often involved in performing such procedures. However, the optimal technique and approach of EBP remains uncertain.

Methods: This case series included adult patients with SIH who underwent EBPs at London Health Science Centre, Ontario, Canada between 2010 and 2022.

The Impact of Neuroanesthesia Fellowship Training and Anesthesiologist-Surgeon Dyad Volume on Patient Outcomes in Adult Spine Surgery: A Population-Based Study.

Introduction: Extensive research has explored the impact of surgeons' characteristics on patient outcomes; however, the influence of anesthesiologists remains understudied. We performed a population-based retrospective cohort study to investigate the impact of anesthesiologists' characteristics on in-hospital morbidity after spine surgery.

Methods: Adult patients who underwent spine surgery at the London Health Science Centre, Ontario, Canada between January 1, 2010 and June 30, 2023 were included in this study.

Fetal diagnosis and management of pulmonary artery sling: A case series.

Objective: Pulmonary artery sling is a rare congenital anomaly accounting for 2% of all patients with vascular anomalies that cause airway obstruction. In the normal heart, the left (LPA) and right (RPA) pulmonary arteries arise in the intrapericardial space. However, in the pulmonary artery sling, the LPA trunk arises in the extrapericardial space from the posterior aspect of the mid RPA and courses posterior to the trachea causing tracheal compression and, at times, bronchial compression.
