Authors: Albornoz A.E. et al. Pediatric Anesthesia, October 2025. DOI: 10.1111/pan.70062 This quality improvement project evaluated the impact of a structured perioperative pain management toolkit on postoperative pain and opioid use following pediatric tonsillectomy and adenotonsillectomy. While opioids are often avoided intraoperatively to minimize postoperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs), this practice can result in higher […]

DOI: 10.1097/ANA.0000000000001021 This retrospective audit analyzed anesthesia information management system (AIMS) data to evaluate operating room (OR) utilization patterns in neurosurgery. AIMS platforms, which record timestamps for each perioperative phase, can provide detailed insights into workflow efficiency and time allocation but are underutilized for […]

DOI: 10.1016/j.accpm.2025.101589 This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) models in predicting difficult airways—one of anesthesia’s most critical and high-stakes challenges. Difficult airway complications can rapidly lead to hypoxia, brain injury, or death, and early prediction is […]
Read MoreAuthors: Yun Liu et al BMC Anesthesiology, 2025; Article 483. Volume 25, 2025 This randomized, double-blind clinical trial compared remimazolam and dexmedetomidine for postoperative sedation following free-flap reconstruction in patients with oral tumors—a surgical population requiring stable hemodynamics and smooth emergence to protect delicate microvascular anastomoses. Although dexmedetomidine is widely used for sedation, remimazolam’s rapid […]
