Developing a Framework for Career Fulfillment in Academic Anesthesiology

Authors: Donovan AL et al. Journal: Anesthesiology, Accepted December 26, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005920 SummaryThis qualitative focus group study explored how anesthesiologists in academic practice define career fulfillment and navigate competing clinical, academic, and personal demands across different career stages. Given that anesthesiologists report the highest intent to leave academic medicine among medical specialties, the authors […]

Mechanical power and the association with postoperative impaired oxygenation and pulmonary complications in orthopedic patients

Authors: Müller-Wirtz LM et al. Journal: Anesthesiology, Accepted December 18, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005906 SummaryThis post hoc analysis of a large cluster factorial randomized trial evaluated whether intraoperative mechanical power—normalized to predicted body weight—is associated with postoperative oxygenation impairment and pulmonary complications in orthopedic surgical patients. Mechanical power integrates multiple ventilatory variables into a single measure […]

The Effects of Isoflurane Inhibition of Mitochondrial Complex I on Calcium Removal in Mouse Neuronal Cultures.

Authors: Jung S et al. Journal: Anesthesiology, Accepted December 19, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005910 SummaryThis experimental laboratory study investigated the mechanism by which isoflurane disrupts neuronal calcium homeostasis, providing mechanistic insight into anesthetic-induced neurotoxicity. Using cultured mouse neurons (both wildtype and mitochondrial mutant), the investigators tested whether prolonged intracellular calcium elevation during anesthetic exposure is driven […]
