Anesthesia meets AI: 5 trends to watch

Author: Sophie Eydis Becker’s ASCReview Artificial intelligence is making its way into anesthesia — not as a replacement for clinicians, but as a tool to improve safety, precision and efficiency. From real-time monitoring to risk prediction, AI systems are beginning to reshape how anesthesia teams manage care in both hospitals and ASCs. Here are five trends […]

The specialty facing mounting malpractice insurance costs

Author: Francesca Mathewes Becker’s ASC Review Anesthesiologists are facing rising malpractice insurance costs, largely driven by high-risk procedures and sometimes limited access to standard coverage. According to data released Oct. 6 by Homewood Insurance Group, a Naples, Fla.-based medical insurance group, anesthesiologists pay average annual malpractice insurance premiums of $21,000-$23,000 for standard $1 million or $3 million policies.

Heat Loss in Humans Warmed with Various Full-Body Forced-air Heating Systems

Authors: Rodriguez-Patarroyo, Fabio A. et al. Anesthesiology, August 20, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005730 This randomized crossover study compared the performance of five full-body forced-air warming systems in preventing heat loss and improving thermal comfort—a critical component of perioperative temperature management. Although forced-air warming is the most common method to prevent intraoperative hypothermia, comparative data among commercial […]

The GABAergic Parafacial Zone: Integrating Consciousness and Respiratory Control in Sevoflurane Anesthesia

Authors: Luo, Linlin et al. Anesthesiology, August 28, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005735 This study investigated whether a shared neural mechanism underlies two hallmark effects of general anesthesia—unconsciousness and respiratory depression. The research focused on the parafacial zone (PZ), a GABAergic region of the brainstem known to promote sleep and modulate breathing, to determine its role in […]

Fentanyl-induced Ventilatory Depression: Population Pharmacokinetic–Pharmacodynamic Framework for Evaluation of Opioid-induced Ventilatory Depression

Authors: van Lemmen, Maarten et al. Anesthesiology, September 12, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005710 This study explored how fentanyl affects ventilatory control when used alone—isolated from other anesthetics—to better understand its respiratory depressant effects in clinical settings. Despite widespread use of opioids in anesthesia, their direct influence on ventilation when not confounded by other agents is incompletely […]
