The ulnar nerve originates from the brachial plexus and travels down the arm, passing posterior to the medial epicondyle of the humerus at the elbow. At this location, the nerve is relatively superficial and lacks significant protective tissue. Impact in this area is what produces the sensation commonly referred to as the hitting the “funny bone.”

Ulnar nerve injury most commonly occurs in the perioperative period as a result of compression, stretch, or ischemia due to improper...

Colonoscopy is a central tool for colorectal cancer prevention because it allows direct visualization of the colon and removal of precancerous polyps. The success of colonoscopy depends on how effectively these lesions are identified, a concept commonly described as polyp or adenoma detection sensitivity.

Sedation is frequently used to improve comfort, but its effect on polyp detection sensitivity remains an important and debated issue...

Postoperative delirium is a common complication of anesthesia and surgery that can affect patients, especially older adults. It is typically characterized by confusion, disorientation, fluctuating levels of consciousness, and impaired attention. While these hallmark symptoms of postoperative delirium are well-documented and usually recognizable, some rare or atypical manifestations may be overlooked or misattributed, possibly resulting in a delayed diagnosis and suboptimal care.

Peripheral nerve blocks are an important anesthetic technique used to provide local pain relief by interrupting the transmission of nerve impulses. Their applications vary significantly across pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations due to physiological and anatomical differences, as well as varying risks and benefits. The approach to peripheral nerve blocks should be tailored to the unique characteristics of each age group.

Perioperative care refers to the comprehensive medical care provided to a patient before, during, and after surgery. It encompasses all of the interventions aimed at ensuring patients are in the optimal health condition needed for surgery in order to minimize surgical risk, improve patient experience, and encourage a smooth recovery. When planning perioperative care, one of the key factors is the timing of analgesics, or pain-relieving medications. Anesthetic agents have different physiological effects, onsets and durations of action, and interactions with other drugs. Determining the optimal timing of perioperative analgesics is important for patient care, as well as reducing the use of opioid medications.

Certain anesthetic agents can have significant effects on the cardiovascular system, causing changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and cardiac output.

For patients with cardiovascular disease or other conditions that make them sensitive to hemodynamic fluctuations, choosing anesthetics with the least hemodynamic effects is essential for reducing the risk of complications.

In the realm of anticoagulation therapy, the interaction between protamine and heparin is of paramount importance, particularly in surgeries such as cardiac procedures where blood clot prevention is crucial. Protamine sulfate is widely used to neutralize the effects of heparin, a commonly used anticoagulant.

Intravenous (IV) placement is an important process in the administration of anesthesia, serving as the primary route for the delivery of fluids, some anesthetics, and other medications during surgical procedures.

Continued research and education in IV placement will further improve patient outcomes and the overall safety of anesthesia.

A blood test can be an important part of preparing for anesthesia and surgery.

The components of the CBC, including hemoglobin, hematocrit, white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets, all provide invaluable information.
