Ropivacaine-Based Regional Anesthesia Exerts Muscle-Protective Effects Despite Elevated Compartment Pressure In A Porcine Model Of Acute Compartment Syndrome

Authors: Fritsch G et al. Anesthesiology, January 23, 2026, 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005950 This experimental study evaluated whether regional anesthesia using ropivacaine influences tissue injury during acute compartment syndrome (ACS). The use of regional anesthesia in patients at risk for compartment syndrome has long been controversial because clinicians worry that nerve blocks may mask pain and delay diagnosis. […]

Returning to Anesthesia After Burnout, Pain Management, ICU med or administrative job? We Built a Path Back

Burnout 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 […]

The role of preoptic area GABAergic neurons in distinctly regulating sleep and rousability under dexmedetomidine sedation in mice

Authors: Qiu G et al. Anesthesiology, January 26, 2026, 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005953 This experimental neuroscience study examined how specific populations of GABAergic neurons in the preoptic area (POA) regulate sleep, wakefulness, and dexmedetomidine-induced sedation. Dexmedetomidine is unique among sedatives because it produces a form of sedation that closely resembles natural sleep and allows patients to remain easily […]

Intranasal naloxone reversal of opioid-induced respiratory depression in opioid-naïve individuals and self-reported daily opioid users

Authors: van Lemmen M A et al. Anesthesiology, February 05, 2026, 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005931 This prospective crossover trial evaluated how effectively intranasal naloxone reverses opioid-induced respiratory depression caused by potent synthetic opioids. Because current overdose deaths are frequently related to high-affinity opioids such as fentanyl and its analogs, understanding the performance of commonly used intranasal naloxone formulations […]

Overdose propofol emulsion induces PANoptosis in human peripheral neutrophils in an ex vivo model

Authors: Lin M-C et al. Anesthesiology, February 12, 2026, 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005978 This study explored how overdose exposure to propofol emulsion may injure human peripheral neutrophils and provides mechanistic insight relevant to propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS). PRIS is a rare but severe complication associated with excessive or prolonged propofol exposure and is typically characterized by metabolic derangements, […]
