Simulation beyond Residency: A Call to Action for Anesthesiology Leaders and Perioperative Teams

Authors: Putnam E et al. Anesthesiology 144(4):767–770, April 2026 Summary:This article argues that simulation-based training in anesthesiology should not stop after residency but instead become a routine part of ongoing professional development. Despite strong evidence that simulation improves team performance, patient outcomes, and reduces malpractice risk, its use among practicing anesthesiologists remains limited. The authors […]

Primary Afferent Inhibition: An Underappreciated Mechanism in Mechanical Pain Control

Authors: Rivat C et al. Anesthesiology 144(4):761–763, April 2026 Summary:This editorial highlights a novel and underappreciated mechanism in neuropathic pain: primary afferent inhibition originating from dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. Traditionally, pain transmission has been viewed as predominantly excitatory, with peripheral neurons simply relaying nociceptive signals to the spinal cord. However, this study challenges that […]

Defining the Determinants of Tissue Perfusion at the Bedside in Septic Shock Patients

Authors: Pinsky M et al. Anesthesiology 144(4):759–760, April 2026 Summary:This editorial challenges the traditional reliance on mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cardiac output as primary indicators of adequate resuscitation in septic shock.

Mind the Gap: Discordant Creatinine and Cystatin C Estimates of Renal Function and Postoperative Outcomes

Authors: Potnuru P et al. Anesthesiology 144(4):756–758, April 2026 Summary:This editorial highlights a novel approach to improving preoperative risk stratification by examining the difference between two commonly used estimates of kidney function: creatinine-based eGFR and cystatin C–based eGFR. The authors focus on the concept of “eGFRdiff” (eGFRcys − eGFRcr), which captures discordance between these two […]
