Authors: Rodrigues, Antenor et al. Anesthesiology, August 5, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005696 This prospective cohort study examined how sedation alters brain activity patterns in mechanically ventilated patients with early acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). The researchers used the Odds Ratio Product (ORP), an EEG-derived index that quantifies the continuum between wakefulness and sleep, to differentiate normal […]

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005711 This randomized clinical trial investigated whether intraoperative urine output–guided hydration can reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with cisplatin-based hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei. AKI is a frequent and serious complication of this […]

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005715 This preclinical study explored how neuropathic pain and two common analgesics—pregabalin and morphine—affect sleep architecture and circadian rhythms. Neuropathic pain often leads to fragmented sleep, altered thermoregulation, and disrupted biological rhythms, but the comparative effects of these treatments on these physiologic systems are poorly […]

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005731 This longitudinal population-based study examined the association between chronic widespread pain (CWP) and cognitive decline, including dementia, using data from the UK Biobank. Although chronic pain has been linked to impaired cognition, the causal mechanisms and structural brain correlates remain uncertain. The study aimed […]

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005707 This large multicenter randomized clinical trial (AmPRAEC study) evaluated how different anesthesia maintenance strategies affect postoperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs) in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy. Although PRAEs are among the most common and potentially serious complications in pediatric anesthesia, the influence of maintenance techniques—specifically propofol-based […]
