The Promising Role of Pediatric Pharmacokinetic Simulations in Informing Opioid Dosing Decisions

Authors: Gheshlaghi N et al. Source: Anesthesia & Analgesia. February 2026. Volume 142(2):280–283. Summary:In this translational modeling study, Gheshlaghi and colleagues explore how pediatric pharmacokinetic simulations can inform safer, more individualized opioid dosing—specifically morphine—by accounting for pharmacogenetic variability. Despite morphine’s widespread use in children, a substantial proportion of pediatric patients experience inadequate analgesia or dose-related […]

Spectral Differences of Anesthetic Agents: Addressing Fundamental Problems With New Methods

Authors: Dragovic S Z et al. Source: Anesthesia & Analgesia. February 2026. Volume 142(2):249–260. DOI: 10.1213/ANE.0000000000007530 Summary:Processed EEG indices are widely used to guide anesthetic depth, yet most clinical paradigms implicitly assume that equivalent index values reflect comparable brain states across different anesthetic agents. In this retrospective study, Dragovic and colleagues challenge that assumption by […]
