Standardizing Quality Metrics for Neuraxial Labor Analgesia

Authors: Patel S S et al. Journal: Cureus 17(12): e98450, DOI: 10.7759/cureus.98450 SummaryThis article proposes a standardized quality improvement framework for neuraxial labor analgesia in obstetric anesthesia. Because quality metrics for epidural and combined spinal-epidural techniques vary widely between institutions, the authors synthesized national guidance and expert opinion to create a uniform, procedure-specific benchmarking system.

Postoperative Sore Throat in the Postanesthetic Care Unit: Incidence, Contributing Factors, and Association With Airway Management

Authors: Sousa Braga I et al. Source: Cureus 17(12): e98473. DOI: 10.7759/cureus.98473 Summary:This retrospective study evaluated postoperative sore throat (POST) in 106 adults recovering in the PACU after general anesthesia with airway instrumentation. The overall incidence of POST was 21.7%, which is lower than the 30–60% commonly reported in prior literature. Moderate symptoms (VAS 4–7) […]

Changes in Plasma Glycine Concentration in General Anesthesia With Remifentanil

Authors: Kato et al. Journal line: Cureus, November 12, 2025. DOI: 10.7759/cureus.96727 Summary:This prospective pilot study examined whether glycine-containing remifentanil elevates plasma glycine levels during general anesthesia. The concern arises because remifentanil formulations include glycine, and glycine acts as a co-agonist at the NMDA receptor, potentially contributing to opioid-induced hyperalgesia or postanesthetic shivering. Ten patients […]

Effects of GABA and glutamate signalings from primary sensory neurons to gate the spinal transmission of mechanical pain in mice

Authors: Wu S-J et al. Anesthesiology, November 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005854 SummaryThis mechanistic neuroscience study examined how a specific subset of primary sensory neurons—those capable of synthesizing GABA and expressing the vesicular GABA transporter Vgat—gate mechanical pain transmission in mice. While most dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons are glutamatergic and excitatory, these Vgat-positive neurons represent a […]
