Read MoreAuthor: Patsy Newitt Becker’s ASC Review As the volume of outpatient procedures continues to rise, anesthesia providers are increasingly practicing in ASCs, environments that demand a different mindset than traditional hospital settings. In hospitals, anesthesia providers often operate in controlled environments with longer procedural timelines and less emphasis on direct patient satisfaction. In contrast, outpatient […]
Read MoreAuthors: Sugiki, Kei M.D. et al Anesthesiology ():10.1097/ALN.0000000000005630, June 20, 2025. Background: Several drugs are commonly administered to patients with high body temperature in intensive care units (ICUs). However, previous in vitro studies have investigated only the independent effects of high temperatures or drugs on various cultured cells. We explored the hypothesis that pharmacological treatment with representative […]

Background: A functional anesthetic target has long been suspected to reside within mitochondria, and disruption of bioenergetic capacity is believed to play a role in the anesthetic response. Unfortunately, the exact mechanism by which changes in mitochondrial target activity result in clinically relevant […]
Read MoreAuthors: Wang, Dian-Shi M.D., Ph.D et al Anesthesiology ():10.1097/ALN.0000000000005595, June 09, 2025. Background: Excess function of GABAA receptors that generate a tonic inhibitory conductance contributes to postanesthetic cognitive impairment. Ketamine may have postoperative cognition-sparing properties; however, whether it reduces excess GABAA receptor function is unknown. This study investigated whether ketamine prevents a sustained anesthetic-triggered increase in GABAA receptor function in […]

Read MoreAuthor: Francesca Mathewes Becker’s ASC Review Anesthesia is a rapidly growing field, with technological advancements and shifts to outpatient care redefining the roles of its providers. Two anesthesia professionals joined Becker’s to discuss where they think anesthesia will grow next. Editor’s note: Responses have been lightly edited for clarity and length. James Doebele, MD. Pediatric Anesthesiologist at […]
Read MoreAuthors: Ju, Ling-Sha Ph.D. et al Anesthesiology ():10.1097/ALN.0000000000005578, July 08, 2025. Background: Vulnerability to perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND) and the mechanisms initiating PND, which may serve as targets for prevention, are incompletely understood. This study hypothesized that sevoflurane can induce persistent upregulation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis, inflammation, and behavioral deficits in young adult male rats by […]
Read MoreAuthors: Wijk, Johanna M.D. et al Anesthesiology ():10.1097/ALN.0000000000005648, July 07, 2025. Background: Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with impaired renal oxygenation and acute kidney injury. We investigated whether a higher than our standard blood flow during CPB could improve renal blood flow, oxygen demand/supply relationship, function and attenuate tubular injury. Methods: After ethical […]
