Author: Cameron Cortigiano Becker’s ASC Review The way in which payers set their rates for anesthesiology services is causing many physicians to go around them, looking for ways to provide care without dealing with insurance companies. Payers negotiate rates based on leverage, often giving better rates to bigger groups, not those who necessarily provide the best […]
Read MoreAuthor: Zhu Guan, et al. Anesthesia & Analgesia. 2026;143(1):43–58. Older patients with sepsis experience greater organ injury and mortality, but the biological mechanisms responsible for this increased vulnerability remain incompletely understood. This study examined whether aging impairs macrophage clearance of neutrophil extracellular traps, or NETs, resulting in greater inflammation and liver injury during sepsis. Study […]
Read MoreAuthor: Jordan Francke, MD, MPH IARS 2026 Annual Meeting coverage Academic success in anesthesiology depends less on simply holding a faculty or residency position and more on how individuals approach learning, mentorship, preparation, and professional growth. During the 2026 IARS and SOCCA Annual Meeting, academic leaders used humor and reverse advice to describe the behaviors […]

For anesthesiologists and intensivists, CO is a critical parameter for differentiating shock states and monitoring the response to fluids or inotropes. The Mathematical Foundation The […]

Dural puncture epidural analgesia using either a 25-gauge or 27-gauge Whitacre spinal needle produced faster and more effective early labor analgesia than conventional epidural analgesia. Because the two needle sizes provided nearly identical analgesic benefits, the investigators favored the smaller 27-gauge needle because […]
Read MoreRadius Anesthesia blog Postoperative shivering is a common and often distressing complication in surgical patients. It is caused by perioperative hypothermia, which is exacerbated by anesthetic-induced thermoregulatory impairment. The incidence of shivering varies depending on the type of surgery, anesthetic technique, and individual patient factors. Certain surgeries, particularly those involving neuraxial anesthesia or prolonged exposure, […]
Read MoreAuthor: Jordan Francke, MD, MPH IARS and SOCCA 2026 Annual Meeting coverage Opioids remain highly effective for treating severe perioperative pain, but their use is associated with respiratory depression, nausea, ileus, delirium, persistent postoperative use, and opioid-induced hyperalgesia. During the 2026 IARS and SOCCA Annual Meeting, experts debated whether anesthesiologists should pursue completely opioid-free anesthesia […]
