Authors: De Cassai A. et al. Anesthesiology, September 25, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005776 This meta-research study examined the persistence of the so-called “Table 1 fallacy”—the practice of performing statistical significance testing on baseline characteristics in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Because randomization itself ensures that baseline characteristics are balanced on average, such tests are unnecessary and may […]

Read MoreAuthors: Albornoz A.E. et al. Pediatric Anesthesia, October 2025. DOI: 10.1111/pan.70062 This quality improvement project evaluated the impact of a structured perioperative pain management toolkit on postoperative pain and opioid use following pediatric tonsillectomy and adenotonsillectomy. While opioids are often avoided intraoperatively to minimize postoperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs), this practice can result in higher […]
Read MoreAuthors: Zoumprouli A. et al. Current Opinion in Anesthesiology, October 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ACO.0000000000001533 This narrative review summarizes recent advances and evolving evidence in the critical care management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), with a focus on studies published over the past 18 months. The authors highlight the growing emphasis on precision medicine, multidisciplinary management, and […]

DOI: 10.1097/ANA.0000000000001021 This retrospective audit analyzed anesthesia information management system (AIMS) data to evaluate operating room (OR) utilization patterns in neurosurgery. AIMS platforms, which record timestamps for each perioperative phase, can provide detailed insights into workflow efficiency and time allocation but are underutilized for […]
Read MoreAuthors: Mohamed F. Abosamak et al Anaesthesia Critical Care & Pain Medicine, 2025. DOI: 10.1016/j.accpm.2025.101589 This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) models in predicting difficult airways—one of anesthesia’s most critical and high-stakes challenges. Difficult airway complications can rapidly lead to hypoxia, brain injury, or death, and early prediction is […]
Read MoreAuthors: Yun Liu et al BMC Anesthesiology, 2025; Article 483. Volume 25, 2025 This randomized, double-blind clinical trial compared remimazolam and dexmedetomidine for postoperative sedation following free-flap reconstruction in patients with oral tumors—a surgical population requiring stable hemodynamics and smooth emergence to protect delicate microvascular anastomoses. Although dexmedetomidine is widely used for sedation, remimazolam’s rapid […]

Read MoreAuthors: Pan X. et al. Anesthesia & Analgesia, October 2025. DOI: 10.1213/ANE.0000000000007290 This translational study investigated the role of delta-opioid receptor (DOR) signaling in myocardial protection during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in the setting of chronic heart failure. Patients with heart failure are highly susceptible to perioperative myocardial damage, and evidence from animal models has implicated […]

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005771 This large national cohort study evaluated trends in the use of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) among commercially insured adults undergoing major surgical procedures in the United States between 2016 and 2022. As the number of surgical patients treated with MOUD continues to […]
