Authors: Liu H et al. Anesthesiology, February 23, 2026, 10.1097/ALN.0000000000006005 This prospective observational study evaluated whether different ultrasonographic measurement planes provide different estimates of gastric volume when performing preoperative gastric ultrasound. Gastric ultrasonography is increasingly used to assess aspiration risk before anesthesia, particularly in situations where fasting status is uncertain. However, different scanning planes may […]

Anesthesiology, February 25, 2026, 10.1097/ALN.0000000000006012 This experimental study evaluated how capnodynamic cardiac output monitoring behaves in the presence of a cardiac shunt. Capnodynamic monitoring estimates effective pulmonary blood flow (EPBF) using ventilatory variations in carbon dioxide elimination. Under normal physiologic conditions without significant shunts, EPBF approximates cardiac output. However, in […]
