Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the anesthetic management and outcomes of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) cases at our institution over a 19 year period. It was found that neuraxial anesthesia is the most commonly used technique for PAS cases in our practice, and the double catheter technique was associated with lower conversion rates to general anesthesia compared to the CSE technique in our cohort.

Summary: Morbid obesity poses higher risks of anesthetic complications during surgeries, but the combined spinal and epidural anesthesia technique can be effectively used. This case report highlights the successful treatment of a morbidly obese patient with severe comorbidities using an unconventional anesthetic technique, resulting in a short hospital stay.

Summary: Choosing whether or not to initiate neuraxial anesthesia in pregnant women with immune system defects may be challenging. The risk of central nervous system infection in immunocompromised patients receiving neuraxial anesthesia is unknown. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach to care and individualized anesthesia plans are important for these patients.

Summary: In this study, there were no significant differences in the quality of labor analgesia between the dural puncture epidural and standard epidural techniques in obese parturients. Routine use of dural puncture epidural technique in obese parturients is not supported based on the findings of this study.

Summary: The computerized anesthesia system resulted in significantly less pain perception compared to conventional anesthesia syringe. Although both methods provided sufficient anesthesia for treatments, the majority of patients preferred the electronic anesthesia system.

Summary: The dural puncture epidural (DPE) technique provides higher-quality anesthesia, with a rapid onset of surgical anesthesia, better cranial and sacral sensory block spread, and a higher motor block degree, without increasing the incidence of maternal or fetal side effects in patients undergoing repeat cesarean delivery.

Summary: This study compared three different anesthesia techniques and found that DPE anesthesia had a faster onset, shorter duration of surgical sensory block, lower incidence of intraoperative pain, and higher patient satisfaction compared to EA anesthesia. Additionally, DPE anesthesia had less impact on maternal hemodynamic parameters compared to CSE anesthesia, suggesting its effectiveness in obstetric surgery.

Summary: Using a national inpatient database in Japan, researchers estimated the incidence of spinal epidural hematoma and abscess among surgical patients undergoing neuraxial anesthesia, finding a lower rate of complications with spinal anesthesia compared to epidural or combined spinal epidural anesthesia. Antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants were not significantly associated with these complications, suggesting the need for additional large-scale studies to further examine incidence and factors related to these complications.

Summary: Sterile fluid transfer is crucial in cell therapy manufacturing and this review introduces two types of devices, single-use sterile connectors and tube welders. However, for frequent small volume transfers in autologous cell therapy manufacturing, a new multiple-use aseptic connector can fill this gap.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the use of neuraxial anesthesia in TKA/THA recipients with multiple sclerosis or myasthenia gravis to the general population. The results showed that the use of neuraxial anesthesia was lower in patients with multiple sclerosis compared to the general population, while there was no difference in patients with myasthenia gravis. The use of neuraxial anesthesia was associated with lower odds of prolonged length of stay.
