The BELGIAN ANESTHESIA TRAINEES (BAT) is an independent organisation that represents the interests of the Belgian anesthesia trainees in different institutions on different levels. All BAT members act voluntarily and without financial compensation to improve the position of Belgian anesthesia trainees by elaborating the BAT vision points and adhering to the BAT aims.
BACKGROUND: Anaemia and iron deficiency are frequent in patients scheduled for cardiac surgery. This study assessed whether immediate preoperative treatment could result in reduced perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusions and improved outcome.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The review is intended to serve as a practical clinical aid for the clinician called to maternal cardiac arrest.
No abstract available.
IMPORTANCE: Blood transfusion is one of the most frequently used therapies worldwide and is associated with benefits, risks, and costs.
OBJECTIVE: To develop a set of evidence-based recommendations for patient blood management (PBM) and for research.
Regional anesthesia has been advocated as adjunct to a multimodal analgesia regimen. The limited duration of the action of available local anesthetics limits their application. Catheters, perineural or IV adjuvants, or repetition of blocks are modalities available to prolong the analgesic benefit of LRA. All of these approaches have their shortcomings. New extended release local anesthetic formulations may provide time-efficient and longer duration of analgesia with a single injection.
BACKGROUND: Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may be at increased risk for serious perioperative complications. The suitability of ambulatory surgery for patients with OSA remains controversial, and several national guidelines call for more evidence that assesses clinically significant outcomes. In this study, we investigate the association between OSA status (STOP-BANG risk, or previously diagnosed) and short-term outcomes and safety for patients undergoing cancer surgery at a freestanding ambulatory surgery facility.
Dear BAT members,
This year our collegues of the SARB organizes anesthesia workshops at a very low price at the SARB Annual Meeting! Try to be one of the beneficiaries. Registration is open!
=> Anesthesia residents can take part at reduced prices! Places are limited!
Workshop 1: Ultrasound in anesthesia
Workshop 2: The difficult airway
SARB Annual Meeting
The dogmas of the past, the facts of the present, the prospects of the future.
When? 22-23 November 2019
Where? @ SQUARE, Brussels
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The present review evaluates the evidence available in the literature to see whether low-dose spinal anaesthesia for Caesarean section is effective in preventing maternal hypotension while at the same time guaranteeing effective anaesthetic conditions.
