Authors: Kjaerulff I. et al. Anesthesiology, October 3, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005780 This mixed-methods analysis explored how preoperative psychological distress influences postoperative outcomes in older surgical patients—a critical but underexamined aspect of perioperative care. Despite calls for routine distress screening in geriatric populations, evidence linking preoperative distress to clinical outcomes has been sparse. The study analyzed […]

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005783 This large multicenter registry analysis provides one of the most comprehensive assessments to date of intraoperative cardiac events in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) undergoing noncardiac procedures. Prior research on this high-risk group has been limited by either national datasets lacking clinical […]
Read MoreAuthor: Francesca Mathewes Becker’s ASC Review ASCs are poised for growth over the next several years as CMS and payer policy, patient preference and demand for surgical services push more cases into the outpatient setting. While this potential for growth is promising for many ASCs, anesthesia coverage remains a core issue as the shortage of […]

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005778 This randomized, double-blind clinical trial investigated whether preemptive magnesium sulfate infusion could improve intraoperative hemodynamic stability during pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) resection—a surgery characterized by extreme fluctuations in blood pressure and heart rate due to catecholamine surges. Despite magnesium’s known sympatholytic and vasodilatory properties, […]
Read MoreAuthors: Persson N.D.Å. et al. Anesthesiology, October 9, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005794 This preclinical study examined how anesthesia type and systemic osmotic state influence the central nervous system (CNS) distribution of drugs administered via the lumbar intrathecal route. While intrathecal drug delivery bypasses the blood-brain barrier, it often fails to achieve therapeutic concentrations in the brain, […]

Read MoreAuthors: Kelley Blair, CEO of nimble, Caryn Mattia, CPC, Sr. Director of Client Services at nimble Becker’s ASC Review If you run an ASC, you already know how central anesthesia is to your daily operations. Nearly every case — 99% of procedures — requires it. And yet, when I talk with ASC leaders, anesthesia revenue is often the […]

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005731 This large longitudinal population-based study explored whether chronic widespread pain (CWP) contributes to the development of cognitive decline and dementia, using data from nearly 190,000 participants in the UK Biobank with a 13-year follow-up. CWP was defined as self-reported pain across multiple body regions […]
Read MoreAuthors: Bayat S. et al. Anesthesiology, October 20, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005807 This experimental study investigated how the slope of phase III (SIII) of the volumetric capnogram relates to ventilation–perfusion (V̇A/Q̇) mismatch in acute bronchoconstriction and how this relationship changes after bronchodilator therapy. Using advanced synchrotron radiation K-edge subtraction imaging, the researchers directly visualized and quantified […]
Read MoreAuthors: Calabrese A. et al. Anesthesiology, October 20, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005633 This comprehensive review explores how the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) influences the physiology and treatment of critically ill patients, addressing seven key questions relevant to intensivists. The RAS regulates vascular tone, fluid balance, and inflammation through two distinct pathways: the classical ACE/Ang II/AT1R axis (vasoconstrictive, […]
