Authors: Lucas M et al. Anesthesia & Analgesia, 142(4):653–663, April 2026 This retrospective cohort study examined outcomes associated with transfusion-free blood management and patient blood management (PBM) strategies in major noncardiac surgery. Using data from over 25,000 adult surgical admissions across two German hospitals, the authors compared three groups: nontransfusable patients managed with transfusion-free strategies, […]
Read MoreAuthors: Coral G et al. A & A Practice, 20(3):e02143, March 2026 This case series evaluates the dual subsartorial block (DSB) as a regional anesthesia technique for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, focusing on its ability to provide effective analgesia while preserving motor function. ACL reconstruction is commonly associated with significant postoperative pain, and traditional […]
Read MoreAuthors: Bai Y-X et al. Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, 2026, Article 112161 This international multicohort study evaluated whether target-controlled infusion (TCI) improves postoperative recovery compared to manually controlled infusion (MCI) in elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery. TCI uses pharmacokinetic models to maintain targeted plasma concentrations of anesthetic agents, allowing more precise titration compared to traditional […]
Read MoreBurnout or time away in pain, ICU, or administration doesn’t erase your anesthesia training—it just requires a structured path back. For many physicians, it simply means you stepped away to regroup. We work with anesthesiologists every day who want to return to clinical anesthesia after time away in: administration or leadership roles pain medicine critical […]
Read MoreAuthors: Loh K H et al. A & A Practice, 20(3):e02170, March 2026 This article describes a structured, peer-guided recruitment model for academic anesthesiologists developed in response to increasing workforce shortages and competition for talent. Rather than relying on traditional chair-led recruitment or third-party recruiters, this group created a dedicated internal recruitment team that includes […]
Read MoreAuthors: Pache K M et al. A & A Practice, 20(3):e02171, March 2026 This nonrandomized controlled trial evaluated whether adding a small amount of creamer to black coffee meaningfully delays gastric emptying compared to black coffee alone—an issue with direct implications for preoperative fasting guidelines. Current guidelines classify coffee with creamer as a nonclear liquid […]
Read MoreAuthors: Kozarek K L et al. A & A Practice, 20(3):e02163, March 2026 This article reviews anesthetic management for percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP), a relatively new, minimally invasive technique used to treat hepatic metastases from uveal melanoma. PHP is designed to deliver high-dose chemotherapy (melphalan) directly to the liver while limiting systemic exposure. The procedure […]
Read MoreAuthors: Pai S-L et al. Anesthesia & Analgesia, 142(4):640–649, April 2026 This study evaluated residual gastric contents (RGC) using point-of-care gastric ultrasound in patients taking glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), with the goal of identifying factors associated with increased aspiration risk before anesthesia. GLP-1 RAs are increasingly used for diabetes and weight loss and […]

Read MoreEdited by Manasi Talwadekar Medscape Medical News TOPLINE: Cardiac anesthesiologists experienced a rise in nominal income from 2020 to 2024. However, their inflation-adjusted income and work patterns remained mostly unchanged. Meanwhile, their satisfaction with compensation decreased over time. METHODOLOGY: Researchers analyzed data from the cross-sectional Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists Salary Surveys conducted in 2020, 2022, […]
