Authors: Berger-Estilita J et al. Anaesthesia Critical Care & Pain Medicine. 2025. DOI: 10.1016/j.accpm.2025.101614 SummaryThis Delphi-based consensus statement sought to formally define anesthesia and articulate its core aims using a structured, international expert process. Although anesthesia is central to modern surgery, its expanding scope—spanning perioperative medicine, patient safety, long-term outcomes, and systems-level responsibilities—has made a […]
Read MoreAuthors: Maagaard M et al. BMJ Journals Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine Vol 50 Issue 4 SummaryThis systematic review with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis evaluated whether combining dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine as adjuncts to peripheral nerve blocks prolongs analgesia compared with placebo or either adjunct alone. Although both agents are commonly used to extend block […]

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005903 SummaryThis experimental study examined the role of glutamatergic neurons in the dorsomedial periaqueductal gray (dmPAG) in regulating arousal and emergence across multiple general anesthetic agents. Although general anesthetics act through diverse molecular targets, they may converge on shared neural circuits controlling consciousness. The periaqueductal gray […]
