Author: Patsy Newitt Becker’s ASC Review While anesthesiologists play a vital role in ASC operations, they are rarely at the helm. Christina Menor, MD, president of the California Society of Anesthesiologists, joined Becker’s to discuss the barriers keeping anesthesiologists out of leadership roles in ASCs, and how their expertise could drive efficiency, safety and patient satisfaction. Editor’s […]

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005785 This meta-analysis evaluated whether anesthesia type—regional (spinal, epidural, or combined spinal-epidural) versus general—affects neonatal outcomes following cesarean delivery. Despite widespread preference for regional techniques, direct evidence comparing neonatal well-being across approaches has been limited. The authors systematically reviewed randomized controlled trials published between January […]

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005775 This pharmacokinetic study revisited infusion rate limitations for continuous lumbar plexus blocks in pediatric patients, addressing the long-standing concern of balancing adequate analgesia with local anesthetic toxicity. The widespread use of ropivacaine for pediatric regional anesthesia has been constrained by limited pharmacokinetic data, leading […]

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005779 This large, prospective dual-center cohort study assessed how preoperative functional capacity—expressed as metabolic equivalents of task (MET)—relates to postoperative mortality and morbidity. Although functional capacity has long been recognized as a predictor of surgical risk, prior studies often used binary cutoffs rather than examining […]
