Burnout or time away in pain, ICU, or administration doesn’t erase your anesthesia training—it just requires a structured path back. For many physicians, it simply means you stepped away to regroup. We work with anesthesiologists every day who want to return to clinical anesthesia after time away in: administration or leadership roles pain medicine critical […]
Read MoreAuthors: Zhu Y et al. Source: Anesthesia & Analgesia. January 23, 2026. Summary:Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) remains a major but incompletely understood complication following fracture repair, particularly in younger patients with distal lower extremity fractures. In this prospective cohort study, Zhu and colleagues evaluated the incidence of CPSP and developed a validated prediction model to […]
Read MoreAuthor: Sophie Eydis Becker’s ASC Review Anesthesia shortages are moving from an intermittent disruption to a defining scheduling constraint for operating rooms and ASCs. As drug supply gaps persist, staffing shortages deepen and costs rise, perioperative leaders are reworking anesthesia coverage, workflow and daily case planning to protect access, throughput and financial stability. Anesthesia strain […]
Read MoreAuthor: Ajay N DataHorizzon Research According to a new study by DataHorizzon Research, the “US Anesthesiology Service Market” is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2025 to 2033, driven by aging baby boomer population requiring increasing surgical interventions as age-related conditions including joint replacements, cardiac procedures, and oncological surgeries escalate, persistent anesthesiologist […]
Read MoreAuthors: Henthorn PK et al. Source: Anesthesia & Analgesia, 142(2):274–275, February 2026. SummaryThis editorial examines whether pharmacogenomic information—specifically loss-of-function variants in the drug transporter SLC22A1 (formerly OCT1)—should meaningfully alter how clinicians dose oral morphine. The authors note that anesthesiology has largely avoided drugs requiring genetic dose adjustment by favoring agents with flow-limited metabolism, organ-independent elimination, […]

DOI: 10.1213/ANE.0000000000007907 Summary:Perioperative myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remains a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality in both cardiac and noncardiac surgery. In this translational mechanistic study, Qile and colleagues investigated the role of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a bioactive phospholipid, in mediating myocardial I/R […]

Read MoreAuthor: Patsy Newitt Becker’s ASC Review Cardiology’s shift to the outpatient setting is accelerating, but leaders say anesthesia capacity could become a limiting factor as more complex procedures move beyond the hospital. In its 2026 final rule published Nov. 21, CMS approved four cardiovascular codes for electrophysiology studies and ablations and three codes for percutaneous coronary intervention. […]
Read MoreAuthors: Motamed C et al. Source: Anesthesia & Analgesia, 142(2):261–263, February 2026. SummaryThis editorial explores phonomyography (PMG), also referred to as acoustic myography, as a renewed approach to quantitative perioperative neuromuscular blockade monitoring. Prompted by a study from Dong et al evaluating a new PMG prototype, the authors place this technology within the broader landscape […]
