Epiaortic ultrasound assessment of the aorta in cardiac surgeryAlistair George Royse
Cardiovascular Therapeutics Unit, Department of Surgery and Pharmacology, University of Melbourne, Vic, Australia
Best Pract Res Clin Anaesthesiol 23:335-41. 2009..This allows the surgeon to correctly assess and localise any atheroma. In this article, a suggested epiaortic examination sequence is described and strategies for surgeons to avoid atheroma are discussed...

Anaesthesia and Pain Management Unit, Department of Pharmacology, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Anesthesiology 113:892-905. 2010..The authors created a new Post-operative Quality Recovery Scale (PQRS) that tracks multiple domains of recovery from immediate to long-term time periods in patients of varying ages, languages, and cultures...
Anaesthesia in septic patients: good preparation and making the right choice?Colin F Royse
Department of Pharmacology, Medical Building, University of Melbourne, Carlton, Victoria 3010, Australia
Crit Care 13:1001. 2009..In the previous issue of Critical Care, Zausig and colleagues show that propofol may not be the safest choice of induction agent in septic patients...
Ultrasound-guided haemodynamic state assessmentColin Forbes Royse
Anaesthesia and Pain Management Unit, Department of Pharmacology, University of Melbourne, Carlton, Vic, Australia
Best Pract Res Clin Anaesthesiol 23:273-83. 2009..For example, a patient with systolic failure may benefit from inotrope support, whereas an empty state acquires volume infusion and vasodilation requires vasopressor support...
High thoracic epidural anaesthesia for cardiac surgeryColin F Royse
Department of Pharmacology, University of Melbourne, Carlton, Australia bRoyal Melbourne Hospital, Parkville, Victoria, Australia
Curr Opin Anaesthesiol 22:84-7. 2009..Epidurals have been used for cardiac surgery for more than 20 years. The worldwide-published use is now large enough to determine that there is no additional risk for epidural use in cardiac versus noncardiac surgery...
Persistent depression of contractility and vasodilation with propofol but not with sevoflurane or desflurane in rabbitsColin Forbes Royse
Anaesthesia and Pain Management Research Unit, Department of Pharmacology, University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Anesthesiology 108:87-93. 2008..Propofol, sevoflurane, and desflurane may cause hemodynamic compromise during anesthesia and critical care management. The aim of the study was to compare these anesthetics during increased dose and recovery to maintenance level...
Evaluation of echocardiography indices of systolic function: a comparative study using pressure-volume loops in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgeryC F Royse
Anaesthesia and Pain Management Unit, Department of Pharmacology, University of Melbourne, and Royal Melbourne Hospital, Melbourne, Australia
Anaesthesia 62:109-16. 2007..001). Transoesophageal echocardiography adequately assesses systolic function across loading conditions commonly seen during coronary artery bypass surgery...
No late ulnar artery atheroma after radial artery harvest for coronary artery bypass surgeryAlistair George Royse
Cardiovascular Therapeutics Unit, Department of Pharmacology, The University of Melbourne, Parkville, Australia
Ann Thorac Surg 85:891-4. 2008..This study examined the ulnar artery for evidence of increased atherosclerosis compared with the contralateral ulnar artery where the radial artery had not been harvested...

Department of Cardiac Surgery, The Royal Melbourne Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria 3050, Australia
Ann Thorac Surg 78:539-42. 2004..Use of the radial artery as a conduit for coronary artery surgery has increased dramatically. It has been assumed that blood flow to the forearm will not be compromised by its removal...
Persistent pain after cardiac surgery: an audit of high thoracic epidural and primary opioid analgesia therapiesSue C Ho
Department of Anaesthesia, Monash Medical Centre, Melbourne, Australia
Anesth Analg 95:820-3, table of contents. 2002..An audit of two pain relief strategies (epidural analgesia or opiate analgesia) did not show any difference in the incidence of persistent pain...
