Edited by Archita Rai Mediscape MedBrief Pain Res Manag. 2026;2026(1):e1671698.doi:10.1155/prm/1671698 TOPLINE Patients with chronic pain who received an intravenous (IV) infusion of lidocaine reported relief from pain in the short-to-medium term, encountered only mild side effects, and reported high overall satisfaction with the treatment. METHODOLOGY Researchers conducted a retrospective study at a hospital in England to assess […]
Read MoreAuthor: Young May Cha, MD IARS and SOCCA 2026 Annual Meeting coverage Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, or traumatic brain injury are vulnerable to secondary neurologic injury. At the 2026 IARS and SOCCA Annual Meeting, neuroanesthesia experts reviewed how blood pressure control, cerebral perfusion, anesthetic selection, cerebrospinal fluid drainage, and individualized monitoring may improve […]
Read MoreAuthor: Flora Liu, MD IARS and SOCCA 2026 Annual Meeting coverage Emerging neurotechnologies are allowing researchers to examine the brain at increasingly detailed levels, manipulate neural activity, and observe multiple biological processes simultaneously. During the 2026 IARS and SOCCA Annual Meeting, Edward S. Boyden, PhD, described several technologies that may transform neuroscience and improve understanding […]
Read MoreAuthor: Francesca Mathewes Becker’s ASC Review When Mike Verdon, MD, a neurosurgeon in Dayton, Ohio, first heard about the Ambulatory Specialty Model, his reaction was alarm — not for himself, but for the colleagues he looked up on the CMS participant list. “I looked, I’m not on it,” Dr. Verdon said June 12 during a panel […]
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 MoreChristopher W. Goodman, M.D. Reviewing: Surgery NEJM Clinician Clinical Takeaway This option appears safe for patients who are considered high-risk for general anesthesia. Context Symptomatic inguinal hernias usually warrant consideration of surgical repair, but for some patients, the risks of general anesthesia are a limiting factor. An alternative is to use local anesthesia through an […]
Read MoreAuthor: Valérie Rössler-Fehr, et al. Canadian Journal of Anesthesia. 2026;73:478–489. Natural killer cells are an important component of the immune system’s defense against cancer. They recognize and destroy malignant cells by releasing cytotoxic substances, particularly perforin and granzyme. This laboratory study examined whether exposure to sevoflurane impairs the ability of natural killer cells to induce […]
Read MoreAuthor: Flora Liu, MD IARS 2026 Annual Meeting coverage Pediatric anesthesia faces major challenges involving workforce shortages, unequal access to safe care, inconsistent implementation of clinical guidelines, and uncertainty about which risk-assessment tools provide meaningful clinical value. At the 2026 IARS and SOCCA Annual Meeting, experts discussed how pediatric anesthesia can remain safe, equitable, and […]
Read MoreAuthor: Patsy Newitt Becker’s ASC Review Anesthesia reimbursement has been eroding for years, but the pace of payer-driven policy changes has accelerated sharply since 2023. “Continued decrease in reimbursement certainly puts a strain on anesthesia practices at a time when overhead continues to increase,” Jason Habeck, MD, assistant professor of anesthesiology at the Minneapolis-based University of […]
Read MoreAuthor: Flora Liu, MD IARS and SOCCA 2026 Annual Meeting coverage Electroencephalography allows anesthesiologists to monitor the brain—the primary target organ of general anesthesia. However, relying solely on a proprietary processed EEG number can overlook important information contained in the raw waveform, density spectral array, and spectral edge frequency. At the 2026 IARS and SOCCA […]
