Author: Dave Muoio FIERCE Healthcare A private-equity-backed anesthesia provider group that’s been in federal regulators’ crosshairs has reached a voluntary agreement with the state of Colorado to cut ties with five hospitals, thereby resolving its allegations of anticompetitive conduct. According to Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser’s office, U.S. Anesthesia Partners (USAP) of Colorado began purchasing […]
Read MoreAuthors: Ian Gilron, M.D., M.Sc., F.R.C.P.C. et al Anesthesiology March 2024, Vol. 140, 442–449. Background Given the widespread recognition that postsurgical movement-evoked pain is generally more intense, and more functionally relevant, than pain at rest, the authors conducted an update to a previous 2011 review to re-evaluate the assessment of pain at rest and movement-evoked pain […]
Read MoreAuthors: Cecilia M. Acosta, M.D. et al Anesthesiology March 2024, Vol. 140, 430–441. Background Exaggerated lung strain and stress could damage lungs in anesthetized children. The authors hypothesized that the association of capnoperitoneum and lung collapse in anesthetized children increases lung strain-stress. Their primary aim was to describe the impact of capnoperitoneum on lung strain-stress and […]

Models are developed and tested in vitro to quantify their performance with variable carbon dioxide load (V˙CO2), fresh gas flow, V˙E, end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETco2) fraction, and the type of workstation used. […]
Read MoreAuthors: Clemens Reiffurth, Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology March 2024, Vol. 140, 635–636. In Reply: We thank Dr. Enlund very much for his comments and motivating words. The interactions of anesthetics with key mechanisms in energy metabolism and ion homeostasis occur simultaneously as we observed in our experiments. These complex interactions might be relevant for both neuroprotection and neurotoxicity […]

Tawfik, M.D., Ph.D. Anesthesiology March 2024, Vol. 140, 358–360. “[…] these experiments nicely demonstrate that CA1 astrocytes, and their L-lactate release, are both necessary and sufficient for pain modulation and memory formation.” Astrocytes are glial cells, abundant in the central nervous system, that form a highly interconnected and organized network of cells. They make […]
Read MoreAuthor: Riz Hatton Becker’s Orthopedic Review The anesthesiologist shortage is affecting every area of healthcare, and orthopedics is no exception. Three orthopedic surgeons connected with Becker’s to answer, “How has the anesthesia shortage impacted the orthopedic industry?” Ask Orthopedic Surgeons is a weekly series of questions posed to surgeons around the country about clinical, business and policy […]

Anesthesiology March 2024, Vol. 140, 355–357. “The report by Saha and Segal should be a call-to-action for all anesthesia professionals to conduct a deliberate, structured process for every instance in which responsibility for care of a patient is permanently transferred from one clinician or team to another.” […]
Read MoreAuthors: Jeremy Boussier, M.D., Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology March 2024, Vol. 140, 417–429. Background Postoperative pulmonary complications after major abdominal surgery are frequent and carry high morbidity and mortality. Early identification of patients at risk of pulmonary complications by lung ultrasound may allow the implementation of preemptive strategies. The authors hypothesized that lung ultrasound score would […]
Read MoreAuthors: Huichen Zhu, M.D. et al Anesthesiology March 2024, Vol. 140, 409–416. Background Remimazolam, an ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine, may provide adequate sedation for endoscopy while causing less cardiovascular or respiratory disturbance than propofol. Although fixed-dose administration is suggested, body weight affects the volume of the central chamber and thus affects the sedation depth that can be achieved […]
