Returning to Anesthesia After Burnout, Pain Management, ICU med or administrative job? We Built a Path Back

Burnout or time away in pain, ICU, or administration doesn’t erase your anesthesia training—it just requires a structured path back. For many physicians, it simply means you stepped away to regroup. We work with anesthesiologists every day who want to return to clinical anesthesia after time away in: administration or leadership roles pain medicine critical […]

Remifentanil–esketamine–based General Anesthesia Strategy for Microelectrode-guided Deep-brain Stimulation for Parkinson Disease

Authors: Huang D et al. Anesthesiology 144(4):1021–1024, April 2026 Summary:This prospective exploratory study evaluates a novel general anesthesia strategy using Remifentanil and Esketamine for deep-brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in patients with Parkinson disease. Traditionally, DBS electrode placement is performed under awake or lightly sedated conditions to preserve microelectrode recording signals, but this approach can be […]

Critical Closing and Tissue Perfusion Pressures in Sepsis: Implications for Risk Stratification

Authors: Wang J et al. Anesthesiology 144(4):886–897, April 2026 Summary:This large retrospective cohort study evaluates whether critical closing pressure (Pcc) and tissue perfusion pressure (TPP) provide better prognostic insight than mean arterial pressure (MAP) alone in patients with sepsis. While MAP has traditionally been the primary target for resuscitation, it does not fully capture the […]

Effect of Sevoflurane Concentration, Blood Pressure, Arterial Carbon Dioxide Tension, Temperature, and Stimulation on Spinal Cord Blood Flow in Patients Undergoing Spinal Surgery

Authors: Asif H et al. Anesthesiology 144(4):1012–1015, April 2026 Summary:This exploratory study examines how intraoperative variables affect spinal cord blood flow (SCBF) in humans using laser speckle contrast imaging, a technique that provides real-time, high-resolution perfusion mapping during spinal surgery. The key finding is that spinal cord blood flow behaves differently from cerebral blood flow […]

Minimum Alveolar Concentration Ratio Factors: Reply

Authors: Douville N et al. Anesthesiology 144(4):1026–1027, April 2026 Summary:This reply reinforces and expands on the argument that traditional hemodynamic parameters are inadequate for assessing anesthetic depth, agreeing with prior commentary that blood pressure and heart rate reflect secondary physiologic responses rather than direct brain effects. The authors emphasize that anesthetic depth should be grounded […]
