Strategy against increased propofol waste in the OR
Strategy against increased propofol waste in the OR
Bonn researchers show which procedure reduces the waste of the anesthetic Propofol is used in the operating room to induce anesthesia. In order to maintain anesthesia, total intravenous anesthesia is usually followed by a continuous infusion of the drug via a separate syringe pump. This is not entirely sustainable: propofol produces around 45 percent of the drug waste in the operating room and a quarter of the drug remains unused.

Networks of Concepts Demonstrate How Scientific Knowledge Grows
While there has been tremendous growth in scientific knowledge over the past 100 years, innovative activity appears to be slowing. In a new paper published in  Nature Human Behaviour , researchers including  Kara Kedrick , a post-doctoral fellow in Carnegie Mellon University's  Institute for Complex Social Dynamics , empirically apply philosophical theories to investigate how scientific knowledge grows and what may be contributing to the decline.
