Quantified Ataxic Breathing Can Detect Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression Earlier in Normal Volunteers Infused with Remifentanil

Author: Farney RJ et al. Anesthesia & Analgesia 141(3):507–515, September 2025. doi:10.1213/ANE.0000000000007124 This prospective study investigated ataxic breathing (AB) as an underrecognized marker of opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD). Twenty-six healthy volunteers received escalating remifentanil doses with light propofol sedation. Respiratory rate was measured via inductance plethysmography, sedation by MOAA/S, and AB severity using a support […]

Effect of liposomal bupivacaine for preoperative thoracic paravertebral blockade on postoperative pain following video-assisted thoracoscopic lung surgery

Author: Wei Y et al. Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2025. doi:10.1016/j.accpm.2025.101591 This randomized controlled trial compared liposomal bupivacaine (LB) with ropivacaine for thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung resection. Sixty patients were enrolled. LB provided pain control comparable to ropivacaine in the early postoperative phase but offered significant delayed benefits. […]

The contribution of the brain-gut-microbiome axis to intergenerational abnormalities in a rat model of perioperative neurocognitive disorder

Author: Khan ZA et al. Anesthesiology, September 10, 2025. doi:10.1097/ALN.0000000000005745 This experimental study investigated how paternal sevoflurane exposure in rats affects the brain-gut-microbiome (BGM) axis across generations. Male rats exposed to sevoflurane prior to mating produced male offspring with significant abnormalities: exaggerated stress responses, hippocampal transcriptomic changes, gut microbiota dysbiosis, systemic inflammation, higher LDL cholesterol, […]
