AUTHORS: Georgakis, Nikolas A. BS et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 140(5):p 1004-1011, May 2025. BACKGROUND: Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) play an integral role in modern anesthesia by facilitating endotracheal tube placement, assisting with mechanical ventilation, and creating optimal surgical conditions. However, NMBAs can have deleterious side effects. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze […]

BACKGROUND: Prior studies identified thresholds for mean arterial pressure (MAP <65 mm Hg) and central venous pressure (CVP >12 mm Hg) beyond which risk for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) increases. Optimal hemodynamic targets—that is, where active protection from AKI […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Hodapp, Joseph W. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia April 25, 2025. BACKGROUND: Focused anesthesia education may be beneficial for resource-constrained settings where inadequate training along with lack of infrastructure, staff, and supplies can contribute to high anesthetic morbidity and mortality rates. Some medical outreach efforts have transitioned from short-term and service-focused “missions” to […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Lee, Yeji MSc et al Anesthesia & Analgesia April 25, 2025. BACKGROUND: Delayed emergence from anesthesia presents clinical challenges, including prolonged stays in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). The neurobiological mechanisms underlying delayed emergence, particularly in remimazolam-induced anesthesia, remain poorly understood. This study aimed to explore patterns of brain electrical activity of delayed emergence […]
