Author: Francesca Mathewes Becker’s ASC Review Anesthesiologists are facing rising malpractice insurance costs, largely driven by high-risk procedures and sometimes limited access to standard coverage. According to data released Oct. 6 by Homewood Insurance Group, a Naples, Fla.-based medical insurance group, anesthesiologists pay average annual malpractice insurance premiums of $21,000-$23,000 for standard $1 million or $3 million policies.

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005730 This randomized crossover study compared the performance of five full-body forced-air warming systems in preventing heat loss and improving thermal comfort—a critical component of perioperative temperature management. Although forced-air warming is the most common method to prevent intraoperative hypothermia, comparative data among commercial […]

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005735 This study investigated whether a shared neural mechanism underlies two hallmark effects of general anesthesia—unconsciousness and respiratory depression. The research focused on the parafacial zone (PZ), a GABAergic region of the brainstem known to promote sleep and modulate breathing, to determine its role in […]

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005710 This study explored how fentanyl affects ventilatory control when used alone—isolated from other anesthetics—to better understand its respiratory depressant effects in clinical settings. Despite widespread use of opioids in anesthesia, their direct influence on ventilation when not confounded by other agents is incompletely […]
Read MoreAuthors: Rosà, Tommaso et al. Anesthesiology, September 15, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005677 This investigation assessed the recruitment-to-inflation ratio (R/I) as a practical, noninvasive tool to evaluate lung recruitability during general anesthesia. Optimizing PEEP settings to prevent both atelectasis and overdistension is central to lung-protective ventilation, but individual variation in recruitability complicates this process. The study aimed […]
