Authors: Hamilton K R et al. Anesthesiology, March 13, 2026, 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005925 This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover trial evaluated whether combining an opioid with a cannabinoid improves analgesia in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Preclinical research has suggested that cannabinoids may enhance opioid analgesia, potentially allowing lower opioid doses while maintaining effective pain relief. However, high-quality human […]

Anesthesiology, March 9, 2026, 10.1097/ALN.0000000000006026 This prospective multicenter cohort study investigated whether quantitative electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns exist before or after postoperative delirium (POD) in older surgical patients. Postoperative delirium is a common complication after major surgery in elderly patients and is associated with increased morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, and […]
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 MoreAuthor: Francesca Mathewes Becker’s ASC Review ASCs and anesthesia practices are feeling a financial squeeze as reimbursement rates fail to keep pace with rising operational costs. Here is a look at how CMS’ reimbursement rates for anesthesia have changed over the last five years: 2019 Conversion factor: $22.27, less than 1% increase from 2018 2020 Conversion factor: $22.20, […]

Anesthesiology, March 9, 2026, 10.1097/ALN.0000000000006025 This accepted article examined a practical but often overlooked question in total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA): what fresh gas flow (FGF) is actually optimal when anesthetic delivery is not tied to volatile agent administration? Because TIVA does not depend on inhaled anesthetic concentration, clinicians […]

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2026, 10.1053/j.jvca.2026.02.030 This systematic review examined how well artificial intelligence–assisted point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) estimates left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in real time across bedside clinical settings. The authors focused specifically on prospective observational studies in which AI was used during acquisition and/or interpretation of […]
Read MoreAuthors: Bai Y-X et al. Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, 2026, 10.1016/j.jclinane.2026.112161 This international multi-cohort retrospective study evaluated whether target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol and remifentanil improves postoperative recovery compared with manually controlled infusion (MCI) in elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Elderly cardiac surgery patients are particularly vulnerable to hemodynamic instability and postoperative complications, making anesthetic […]

Anesthesiology, March 9, 2026, 10.1097/ALN.0000000000006029 This study investigated a possible genetic explanation for a series of severe neurologic complications observed in pediatric patients of Venezuelan origin following general anesthesia. Several anesthesiology societies had previously reported unexplained cases in which children undergoing relatively minor procedures developed acute neurological deterioration or death […]
