Cardiac Anesthesiologist Blog Introduction Evaluating left ventricular (LV) systolic function is a cornerstone of hemodynamic monitoring in perioperative care and the ICU. While qualitative “eyeballing” is valuable for rapid assessment, quantitative measurements provide the objectivity needed for clinical decision-making and longitudinal tracking of a patient’s status. This article explores the primary quantitative methods used to […]
Read MoreRadius Anesthesia Electroencephalography (EEG) remains the most direct bedside signal of cerebral function available to anesthesiologists and is central to some depth-of-anesthesia monitoring, delirium risk stratification, and tailored dosing strategies. Recent advances in signal processing and machine learning have already improved the sensitivity and robustness of depth-of-anesthesia estimators, but persistent challenges—high dimensionality, nonstationary noise, small […]
Read MoreCollaborative Anesthesia Partners Blog When a pregnant patient needs surgery, anesthesiologists face one of medicine’s most delicate balancing acts. Every choice, from airway management to drug selection, must protect both mother and baby. Managing anesthesia in these cases requires not only clinical skill, but also empathy, teamwork and meticulous attention to detail. Understanding the challenges […]
Read MoreBurnout or time away in pain, ICU, or administration doesn’t erase your anesthesia training—it just requires a structured path back. For many physicians, it simply means you stepped away to regroup. We work with anesthesiologists every day who want to return to clinical anesthesia after time away in: administration or leadership roles pain medicine critical […]

Read MoreAuthors: O’Carroll J et al. Anesthesiology 144(4):784–795, April 2026 Summary:This large prospective multicenter cohort study provides one of the most definitive assessments to date of intraoperative pain during cesarean delivery under neuraxial anesthesia. Across 15 centers in the United States and Canada, nearly 3,700 patients were surveyed on postoperative day 1, capturing patient-reported pain and […]
Read MoreAuthors: Kawashima S et al. Anesthesiology 144(4):1027–1028, April 2026 Summary:This letter critiques a prior in vitro study examining the effects of Propofol, Dexmedetomidine, and Acetaminophen on skeletal muscle under hyperthermic conditions. While acknowledging the mechanistic value of the work, the authors emphasize that several key limitations reduce its clinical applicability. The primary concern is the […]
Read MoreAuthors: Eaton M et al. Anesthesiology 144(4):1029–1030, April 2026 Summary:This reply addresses concerns raised about the use of Dabigatran with Idarucizumab for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) anticoagulation. The authors acknowledge the limitations highlighted in the prior commentary and emphasize that this work remains in an early, preclinical stage of development. They agree that defining the minimum […]
Read MoreAuthors: Zhu X et al. Anesthesiology 144(4):1028–1029, April 2026 Summary:This commentary evaluates a novel anticoagulation strategy for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) using Dabigatran with reversal by Idarucizumab. The authors highlight the potential importance of this approach, particularly for patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, where current options are limited. The first major issue raised is dosing. Although the […]
