Authors: Berger-Estilita J et al. Anaesthesia Critical Care & Pain Medicine. 2025. DOI: 10.1016/j.accpm.2025.101614 SummaryThis Delphi-based consensus statement sought to formally define anesthesia and articulate its core aims using a structured, international expert process. Although anesthesia is central to modern surgery, its expanding scope—spanning perioperative medicine, patient safety, long-term outcomes, and systems-level responsibilities—has made a […]
Read MoreAuthors: Maagaard M et al. BMJ Journals Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine Vol 50 Issue 4 SummaryThis systematic review with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis evaluated whether combining dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine as adjuncts to peripheral nerve blocks prolongs analgesia compared with placebo or either adjunct alone. Although both agents are commonly used to extend block […]
Read MoreAuthors: Bright M et al. Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology. 38(1):3–9, January 2026. SummaryThis focused narrative review examined the relationship between perioperative blood pressure management and postoperative neurocognitive disorders (pNCD) and stroke following noncardiac surgery. Although intraoperative hypotension has long been viewed as a modifiable risk factor through its potential effects on cerebral perfusion, accumulating evidence […]
Read MoreAuthor: Francesca Mathewes Becker’s ASC Review A number of defining controversies and innovations have shaped anesthesia in 2025, from AI-driven analysis tools to landmark legal cases, all changing the way that anesthesia professionals make decisions and care for patients. Three anesthesia leaders recently joined Becker’s to discuss their biggest lessons learned in 2025. Editor’s note: Responses have been lightly edited for […]
Read MoreAuthors: Tong L et al. Anesthesiology. December 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005903 SummaryThis experimental study examined the role of glutamatergic neurons in the dorsomedial periaqueductal gray (dmPAG) in regulating arousal and emergence across multiple general anesthetic agents. Although general anesthetics act through diverse molecular targets, they may converge on shared neural circuits controlling consciousness. The periaqueductal gray […]

Read MoreAuthor: Sophie Eydis Becker’s ASC Review Anesthesiology is confronting a mounting workforce crisis as the provider shortage deepens, retirements accelerate and training pipelines fail to keep pace with demand. The strain is already reshaping care models, widening rural access gaps and intensifying burnout across the profession. Here are 10 numbers that capture the growing pressures […]
Read MoreAuthors: Liao H et al. Journal of Clinical Anesthesia. 2025. SummaryThis prospective, randomized controlled study compared the effectiveness of the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block with the supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (sFICB) for preoperative analgesia in elderly patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture. Positioning for neuraxial anesthesia in this population often causes severe pain […]
Read MoreAuthors: Noutsios D et al. Canadian Journal of Anesthesia December 2025. SummaryThis historical cohort study evaluated adherence to the 2016 Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) guidelines for perioperative cardiac risk assessment in patients undergoing elective noncardiac surgery at a Canadian quaternary care center. The CCS guidelines emphasize the use of cardiac biomarkers, particularly preoperative B-type natriuretic […]

DOI: 10.1213/XAA.0000000000002075 SummaryThis randomized controlled trial evaluated whether an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol improves perioperative outcomes compared with conventional care in patients undergoing craniotomy for anterior circulation intracranial aneurysms. Although ERAS pathways are well established in other surgical domains, their role […]
