In this episode, SEE editor Natalie F. Holt, MD, MPH, discusses several studies covered in Volume 36B, including some that have contributed to the body of knowledge on SARS-CoV-2, as well as others that demonstrate continued research in other areas. Examples include a study examining whether volatile anesthetics are superior to total intravenous anesthesia in coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and another that investigates whether beta-endorphin levels can be used as a marker for chronic low back pain.

SEE editor Natalie F. Holt, M.D., M.P.H., describes several studies covered in Volume 36A, including a study exploring the relevance of perioperative pain trajectories on the risk of chronic postsurgical pain; a study evaluating whether there is actually benefit in using intra-aortic balloon pumps for routine management of acute myocardial infarction; an exploration of norepinephrine as an alternative to phenylephrine for spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery; and a study discussing the many considerations of medical marijuana.
