Rivas E, Cohen B, Pu X, Xiang L, Saasouh W, Mao G, et al.
Anesthesiology . 2021 Nov; 136(1):115-126. PMID: 34780602
Background: Early mobilization is incorporated into many enhanced recovery pathways. Inadequate analgesia or excessive opioids may restrict postoperative mobilization. The authors tested the hypotheses that in adults recovering from abdominal...

Turan A, Essber H, Saasouh W, Hovsepyan K, Makarova N, Ayad S, et al.
JAMA . 2020 Jul; 324(4):350-358. PMID: 32721009
Importance: Opioid-induced ventilatory depression and hypoxemia is common, severe, and often unrecognized in postoperative patients. To the extent that nonopioid analgesics reduce opioid consumption, they may decrease postoperative hypoxemia. Objective:...

Baldawi M, McKelvey G, Saasouh W, Perov S, Mostafa G, Saleh K
J Arthroplasty . 2020 Jul; 35(11):3138-3144. PMID: 32641270
Background: The aim of this study is to investigate which anesthetic technique is superior on 30-day outcomes after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in United States veteran patients. To our...

Elsharkawy H, Saasouh W, Cho Y, Mounir Soliman L, Horn J
J Anaesthesiol Clin Pharmacol . 2020 Mar; 36(1):110-114. PMID: 32174670
Background And Aims: Liposomal bupivacaine (LB) is a formulation of local anesthetic that may exert analgesia over a prolonged period. Anecdotal use of LB suggests benefit and prolonged analgesia when...

Turan A, Cohen B, Whitlock R, Essber H, Niazi A, Makarova N, et al.
Anesth Analg . 2019 Nov; 129(6):1468-1473. PMID: 31743165
Background: Pain after cardiac surgery is largely treated with opioids, but their poor safety profile makes nonopioid medications attractive as part of multimodal pathways. Anti-inflammatory drugs reduce acute postoperative pain,...

Turan A, Chang C, Cohen B, Saasouh W, Essber H, Yang D, et al.
Anesthesiology . 2019 Mar; 130(4):550-559. PMID: 30875354
Background: Intraoperative and postoperative hypotension are associated with myocardial and kidney injury and 30-day mortality. Intraoperative blood pressure is measured frequently, but blood pressure on surgical wards is usually measured...

Elsharkawy H, Saasouh W, Babazade R, Mounir Soliman L, Horn J, Zaky S
Pain Med . 2019 Mar; 20(9):1750-1755. PMID: 30865772
Objective: The anatomical landmarks method is currently the most widely used technique for epidural needle insertion and is faced with multiple difficulties in certain patient populations. Real-time ultrasound guidance has...

Babazade R, Saasouh W, Naylor A, Makarova N, Udeh C, Turan A, et al.
J Clin Anesth . 2018 Oct; 53:56-63. PMID: 30326379
Study Objective: Intravenous patient-controlled opioid analgesia (IVPCA), epidural analgesia and transversus abdominis plane (TAP) infiltrations are frequently used postoperative pain management modalities. The aim of this study was to conduct...

Argalious M, Trombetta C, Makarova N, Saasouh W, Rajan S
J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth . 2018 Aug; 33(4):993-1000. PMID: 30149982
Objective: Cerebrospinal fluid drainage catheter-related complications can be reduced by following strict guidelines during their introduction, maintenance, and removal. The authors therefore aimed to determine whether simulation-based learning would improve...

Yilmaz H, Babazade R, Leung S, Zimmerman N, Makarova N, Saasouh W, et al.
Anesth Analg . 2018 Jul; 127(5):1129-1136. PMID: 30059400
Background: Hypotension compromises local tissue perfusion, thereby reducing tissue oxygenation. Hypotension might thus be expected to promote infection. Hypotension on surgical wards, while usually less severe than intraoperative hypotension, is...
