Bleeding Complications, Transfusion, and Acute Care Costs After Major Arthroplasty in Patients With Hereditary Bleeding Disorders

AUTHORS: Stewart, Kenneth E. PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 140(6):p 1479-1487, June 2025. BACKGROUND: Advances in blood conservation have reduced the need for allogeneic transfusions in total knee and hip arthroplasty (TKA/THA). This study aimed to assess whether perioperative bleeding complications, including hemorrhage/hematoma, allogeneic transfusions, and postoperative anemia, occurred at similar rates between patients with […]

Remote Hands-on Training versus On-site Hands-on Training for Flexible Optical Intubation

AUTHORS: Fu, Danyun MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 140(6):p 1470-1478, June 2025. BACKGROUND: Simulation-based training for flexible optical intubation (FOI) is effective but costly and often unavailable in remote areas. Online, hands-on training using affordable, shippable models could be a feasible alternative. METHODS: In this noninferiority randomized controlled trial, 30 participants with fewer than 5 […]

Clinical and Genetic Factors Associated with Intraoperative Minimum Alveolar Concentration Ratio

Authors: Douville, Nicholas J. MD, PhD et al Anesthesiology ():10.1097/ALN.0000000000005602, June 09, 2025. Background: Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) is a standard dosing metric for general anesthesia. Although influences of MAC have been identified in controlled studies, the determinants of clinical delivery of MAC ratio are largely unknown. To address this knowledge gap, we performed this single-center […]
