Risk Factors and Prediction of Chronic Postsurgical Pain Among Patients With Distal Lower Extremity Fracture

Authors: Zhu Y et al. Source: Anesthesia & Analgesia. January 23, 2026. Summary:Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) remains a major but incompletely understood complication following fracture repair, particularly in younger patients with distal lower extremity fractures. In this prospective cohort study, Zhu and colleagues evaluated the incidence of CPSP and developed a validated prediction model to […]

How anesthesia shortages are reshaping OR schedules

Author: Sophie Eydis Becker’s ASC Review Anesthesia shortages are moving from an intermittent disruption to a defining scheduling constraint for operating rooms and ASCs. As drug supply gaps persist, staffing shortages deepen and costs rise, perioperative leaders are reworking anesthesia coverage, workflow and daily case planning to protect access, throughput and financial stability. Anesthesia strain […]

Pharmacogenomic-Based Oral Morphine Dose Adjustment: Is It Hard to Swallow?

Authors: Henthorn PK et al. Source: Anesthesia & Analgesia, 142(2):274–275, February 2026. SummaryThis editorial examines whether pharmacogenomic information—specifically loss-of-function variants in the drug transporter SLC22A1 (formerly OCT1)—should meaningfully alter how clinicians dose oral morphine. The authors note that anesthesiology has largely avoided drugs requiring genetic dose adjustment by favoring agents with flow-limited metabolism, organ-independent elimination, […]

Site-Specific Blockade of LPA–TRPV1 Interaction at K710 Residue Influences on Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Ex Vivo Mouse Hearts

Authors: Qile M et al. Source: Anesthesia & Analgesia. January 14, 2026. DOI: 10.1213/ANE.0000000000007907 Summary:Perioperative myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remains a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality in both cardiac and noncardiac surgery. In this translational mechanistic study, Qile and colleagues investigated the role of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a bioactive phospholipid, in mediating myocardial I/R […]
