Brain activity under anesthesia challenges what we know about consciousness | ScienceDaily

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260624025514.htm

The unconscious brain appears to be far more capable than scientists once believed. Researchers found that patients under general anesthesia could still process language at a sophisticated level, distinguishing nouns, verbs, and adjectives while listening to stories. Even more remarkably, neural activity showed signs of predicting upcoming words before they were heard. The results challenge traditional ideas about consciousness and hint at new possibilities for brain-computer interfaces. …

A small mouse study found that supplemental vitamin D reduced neuroinflammation and reduced cell death in the hippocampus and prefontal cortex of offspring of female mice who were given propofol (a general anaesthetic) during pregnancy.

This study found that in patients with measured peri-op renal parameters, for every 100 elective major non-cardiac surgery procedures, postoperative AKI could be expected to happen in a minimum of four and a maximum of 15 cases.

What is an abnormally prolonged motor block after neuraxial anaesthesia in obstetric patients?

A 4-h threshold is generally applied.

Should the time differ depending on what local anaesthetic is used for the block?

Hello #Blocktober24!

Today we're talking adductor canal blocks for knee arthroplasty.

A recent UK survey showed that:
• 89% favoured levobupivacaine
• > 60% of these preferred 2.5 mg/ml and a volume of 20 - 24ml

What drug, concentration & volume do you use?
