Author: Shuo Wang, et al. Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology. 2026;38(2):115–123. The choice between volatile anesthesia and total intravenous anesthesia may influence neurologic outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. This systematic review and meta-analysis found that observational studies favored volatile anesthesia for reducing cerebral vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia, but randomized trials did not confirm these benefits. […]
Read MoreAuthor: Eric S. Schwenk, et al. Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, BMJ Journals. Rib fractures in older adults are associated with substantial pain, impaired ventilation, pneumonia, delirium, and increased mortality. This pilot randomized study compared an erector spinae plane catheter, an intravenous lidocaine infusion, and standard multimodal analgesia in patients with multiple unilateral rib fractures. […]
Read MoreAuthor: Megan Rolfzen, MD IARS and SOCCA 2026 Annual Meeting coverage Artificial intelligence is moving from experimental research toward clinical applications in anesthesia and perioperative medicine. At the 2026 IARS and SOCCA Annual Meeting, experts discussed the data infrastructure, foundation models, predictive tools, and safeguards required to translate AI into routine patient care. Meredith Adams, […]
Read MoreAuthor: Jordan Francke, MD, MPH IARS 2026 Annual Meeting coverage Advances in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and organ transplantation have created difficult ethical questions for intensivists, patients, and families. During the 2026 IARS and SOCCA Annual Meeting, a panel examined when invasive support should be initiated, when it should be withdrawn, and whether newer organ-procurement techniques […]
Read MoreAuthor: Megan Rolfzen, MD IARS and SOCCA 2026 Annual Meeting coverage Traditional opioid risk assessments rely heavily on demographics, medical history, psychiatric conditions, and social factors. At the 2026 IARS and SOCCA Annual Meeting, researchers proposed adding another potentially important predictor: how an individual feels after receiving an opioid. The United States remains in the […]
Read MoreAnesthesia Experts is expanding into Columbia, and we are building what we believe will become one of the strongest anesthesia teams in the region. We are currently recruiting both CRNAs and anesthesiologists for full-time and locums positions within a brand-new anesthesia care team model at one of Middle Tennessee’s growing hospitals. This is not a […]
Read MoreSomnia Anesthesia blog Surgical care remains one of the most significant drivers of overall hospital cost—yet the medical readiness of complex surgical patients is often overlooked in financial and operational planning. While the cost-effectiveness of any surgery requires consideration of both short- and long-term improvements in patient outcomes and quality of life, the episode-of-care cost […]
Read MoreAuthor: Richard Novak, MD THE ANESTHESIA CONSULTANT Intraoperative bradycardia (heart rate less than 60 beats per minute) is a common but sometimes dire occurrence in anesthesia care when mismanaged. In study published in 1990, bradycardia occurred in 18.9% of 17,201 patients having general anesthesia with volatile drugs. Bradyarrhythmias usually occur from combinations of: primary cardiac disease (ischemic […]
Read MoreAuthor: Patsy Newitt Becker’s ASC Review Private equity’s consolidation of anesthesiology has been documented in federal courtrooms, academic studies and state attorney general investigations. Here’s a breakdown of where that consolidation stands market by market, which ASCs are now effectively captive to a single dominant group and which independent practices are still holding out and why. […]
Read MoreAuthor: Flora Liu, MD IARS 2026 Annual Meeting coverage Anesthesiologists routinely produce and reverse unconsciousness, yet the brain mechanisms responsible for losing and regaining consciousness remain incompletely understood. At the 2026 IARS and SOCCA Annual Meeting, investigators discussed how anesthetics alter brain networks, how consciousness may fluctuate despite stable drug concentrations, and how these findings […]
