Authors: Patel S S et al. Journal: Cureus 17(12): e98450, DOI: 10.7759/cureus.98450 SummaryThis article proposes a standardized quality improvement framework for neuraxial labor analgesia in obstetric anesthesia. Because quality metrics for epidural and combined spinal-epidural techniques vary widely between institutions, the authors synthesized national guidance and expert opinion to create a uniform, procedure-specific benchmarking system. […]

DOI: 10.7759/cureus.98473 Summary:This retrospective study evaluated postoperative sore throat (POST) in 106 adults recovering in the PACU after general anesthesia with airway instrumentation. The overall incidence of POST was 21.7%, which is lower than the 30–60% commonly reported in prior literature. Moderate symptoms (VAS 4–7) […]
Read MoreAuthors: Kato et al. Journal line: Cureus, November 12, 2025. DOI: 10.7759/cureus.96727 Summary:This prospective pilot study examined whether glycine-containing remifentanil elevates plasma glycine levels during general anesthesia. The concern arises because remifentanil formulations include glycine, and glycine acts as a co-agonist at the NMDA receptor, potentially contributing to opioid-induced hyperalgesia or postanesthetic shivering. Ten patients […]

Read MoreAuthors: Wu S-J et al. Anesthesiology, November 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005854 SummaryThis mechanistic neuroscience study examined how a specific subset of primary sensory neurons—those capable of synthesizing GABA and expressing the vesicular GABA transporter Vgat—gate mechanical pain transmission in mice. While most dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons are glutamatergic and excitatory, these Vgat-positive neurons represent a […]
Read MoreAuthor: Sophie Eydis Becker’s ASC Review Anesthesia practices are facing some of the steepest reimbursement pressure in healthcare. Years of CMS cuts, payer policies and new federal rules have compressed margins even as demand and costs rise. Here are 10 key notes on where anesthesia reimbursement stands near the end of 2025: 1. Average professional […]
Read MoreAuthors: Salib M et al. SourceCureus 17(11): e97114. November 17, 2025. DOI: 10.7759/cureus.97114 SummaryThis review explores whether regional anesthesia can reduce cancer recurrence after surgery. The idea is biologically plausible: regional techniques blunt the stress response, reduce catecholamines and cortisol, limit opioid use, and may preserve immune function, especially natural killer cell activity. Local anesthetics […]
Read MoreAuthor: Patsy Newitt Becker’s ASC Review About a year ago, the Eastern Orange Ambulatory Surgery Center in Cornwall, N.Y., flipped the traditional anesthesia payment model on its head. Instead of the facility paying anesthesia stipends, surgeons are now required to pay a fee if they fail to meet the minimum number of cases for their assigned operating block. […]
Read MoreAuthor: Cameron Cortigiano Becker’s ASC Review The daily tasks and routines of running an anesthesia practice are now becoming a full-time job on its own outside of the operating room, according to physicians. From shifting cases between different operating rooms and sites, cross-training staff to fix problems when they arise and ensuring that every procedure […]
