Author: Richard Novak, MD THE ANESTHESIA CONSULTANT Anesthesiologists are recognized as the airway experts of medicine. All acute medical care requires the management of Airway-Breathing-Circulation, in that order, which places anesthesiologists at a high rank in terms of importance in emergent patient care. A scenario familiar to all medical trainees is a Code Blue on […]
Read MoreAuthor: Richard Novak, MD THE ANESTHESIA CONSULTANT A familiar adage states that the practice of anesthesia is 99% boredom and 1% panic. In this month’s issue of our specialty’s premier journal, Anesthesiology, Dr. Tjorvi Perry authored an article titled, “Standing Back: Attentive Observations from the Operating Room,” in which he takes an insightful academic anesthesiologist’s view of the 99% […]

Read MoreAuthors: Lucas M et al. Anesthesia & Analgesia 142(4):653–663, April 2026 This large retrospective cohort study evaluated outcomes in 25,979 adult patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery across two German hospitals, comparing three care models: transfusion-free blood management, patient blood management (PBM), and no PBM. The primary comparison focused on nontransfusable patients (managed with transfusion-free strategies) […]
Read MoreCardiac Anesthesiologist blog Introduction Evaluating left ventricular (LV) systolic function is a cornerstone of hemodynamic monitoring in perioperative care and the ICU. While qualitative “eyeballing” is valuable for rapid assessment, quantitative measurements provide the objectivity needed for clinical decision-making and longitudinal tracking of a patient’s status. This article explores the primary quantitative methods used to […]
Read MoreCardiac Anesthesiologist Blog The CHA₂DS₂-VASc score is a widely used clinical prediction tool designed to estimate the annual risk of stroke and systemic thromboembolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). It represents an improved refinement of the earlier CHADS₂ score, incorporating additional risk factors for better stratification, particularly among lower-risk individuals. The acronym stands for: Congestive […]

Classical pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) models treat this as deterministic, assuming uptake and washout produce consistent effects. In practice, however, both the movement of gas through the lungs and the timing of emergence vary widely, influenced by turbulence, […]
