Neonatal outcomes with regional versus general anesthesia for cesarean delivery

Authors: Langer S. et al. Anesthesiology, October 6, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005785 This meta-analysis evaluated whether anesthesia type—regional (spinal, epidural, or combined spinal-epidural) versus general—affects neonatal outcomes following cesarean delivery. Despite widespread preference for regional techniques, direct evidence comparing neonatal well-being across approaches has been limited. The authors systematically reviewed randomized controlled trials published between January […]

Revisiting infusion rate limitations for continuous lumbar plexus blocks in children and adolescents with 0.2% ropivacaine

Authors: Sunder R.A. et al. Anesthesiology, September 29, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005775 This pharmacokinetic study revisited infusion rate limitations for continuous lumbar plexus blocks in pediatric patients, addressing the long-standing concern of balancing adequate analgesia with local anesthetic toxicity. The widespread use of ropivacaine for pediatric regional anesthesia has been constrained by limited pharmacokinetic data, leading […]

The Impact of Preoperative Functional Capacity on Postoperative Mortality and Morbidity

Authors: Valadkhani A. et al. Anesthesiology, October 3, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005779 This large, prospective dual-center cohort study assessed how preoperative functional capacity—expressed as metabolic equivalents of task (MET)—relates to postoperative mortality and morbidity. Although functional capacity has long been recognized as a predictor of surgical risk, prior studies often used binary cutoffs rather than examining […]
