Authors: Lucas M, et al. Anesthesia & Analgesia. August 29, 2025. doi:10.1213/ANE.0000000000007718 This large retrospective cohort study evaluated outcomes of 25,979 adult noncardiac surgical patients at two German hospitals between 2008 and 2020. Patients received one of three models of care: transfusion-free blood management (nontransfusable patients), patient blood management (PBM), or no PBM. Patients in […]

August 29, 2025. doi:10.1213/ANE.0000000000007704 This article introduces a new statistical tool—error field concordance analysis—for comparing cardiac output measurement methods in perioperative and intensive care settings. Traditional approaches like 4-quadrant plots and polar plots have limitations: the former struggles to distinguish tight versus loose concordance, while the latter […]

August 29, 2025. doi:10.1213/ANE.0000000000007702 This retrospective observational study from Grenoble University Hospital evaluated whether preoperative low-dose posterior quadratus lumborum block (QLB) reduces opioid consumption after laparoscopic nephrectomy compared to transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block or no locoregional analgesia (LRA). The analysis included 289 patients: 54 received QLB, […]

Read MoreAuthor: Francesca Mathewes Becker’s ASC Review As surgical care continues migrating to the outpatient setting and the demand for anesthesia rises amid ongoing staffing shortages, a number of economic, regulatory and clinical issues have surfaced as key factors in the industry’s future. Limited flexibility in staffing models Anesthesia staffing models vary greatly between different states […]
Read MoreAuthors: Dulfer SE, et al. Anesthesia & Analgesia. September 05, 2025. doi:10.1213/ANE.0000000000007701 This prospective observational study investigated how blood pressure elevation affects transcranial electrical stimulation muscle-recorded motor evoked potentials (Tc-mMEPs) in 25 patients undergoing spinal surgery. False positive Tc-mMEP warnings are common and often attributed to inadequate blood pressure. Researchers increased mean arterial pressure (MAP) […]
Read MoreAuthor: Jones JH Anesthesia & Analgesia. 2025. doi:10.1213/ANE.0000000000007728 This letter to the editor challenges academic medicine’s pursuit of “perfection” in faculty advancement. The author reflects on clinical training—where complications, rejected manuscripts, or declined grants are seen as part of growth—and argues that advancement systems should embrace imperfection as a marker of engagement rather than risk-aversion. […]

September 05, 2025. doi: 10.1213/ANE.0000000000007740 This retrospective cohort study reviewed 137 intubations for incision and drainage of odontogenic infections under general anesthesia between 2012 and 2019. Researchers examined factors affecting anesthesia ready time (ART) and first-attempt intubation failure (FAIF). The mean ART was 19.2 minutes. The strongest […]
