Author: Todd Shryock Medical Economics With denials cutting deeper into practice revenue, physicians are turning to AI-driven tools to catch errors before submission, automate appeals and reduce administrative burnout. Health care claims denials remain a growing challenge for providers, draining administrative resources, delaying payments and impacting patient experiences. Denials often occur due to incomplete documentation, coding errors, […]
Read MoreAuthor: Patsy Newitt Becker’s ASC Review As anesthesia groups navigate workforce shortages and cost pressures, collaboration between anesthesiologists and CRNAs becomes increasingly vital. Brian Cohen, MD, administrative chief of Miami Anesthesia Services, joined Becker’s to discuss how transparency and education are critical for alignment. Editor’s note: This interview was edited lightly for clarity and length. Question: Looking […]
Read MoreAuthors: Khan, James S. et al. Anesthesiology October 2025 | DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005818 This secondary analysis of the international HIP ATTACK randomized controlled trial examined whether perioperative pain contributes to myocardial injury in patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture. Because hip fracture patients often experience severe pain and physiological stress, the authors explored whether higher pain […]

Anesthesiology November 2025 | DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005826 This preclinical study explored how acute stress influences anesthetic depth and emergence from isoflurane anesthesia, focusing on sex-specific neural mechanisms. Using a mouse model exposed to 30 minutes of restraint stress, investigators assessed the onset and recovery of anesthesia through loss and return of […]
Read MoreAuthors: Starnes, Joseph R. et al. Anesthesiology November 2025 | DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005738 This study examined how skin tone influences the accuracy of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) readings in children, addressing concerns similar to those previously identified in pulse oximetry. Using the Medtronic INVOS 5100C NIRS system, the research team enrolled 110 pediatric patients under 21 years […]

Anesthesiology November 2025 | DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005829 This large cohort study from the UK Biobank investigated the link between chronic pain, analgesic use, and the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in individuals with diabetes. The analysis included over 20,000 diabetic participants who provided detailed information on seven chronic pain locations […]
Read MoreAuthors: Bayat, Sam et al. Anesthesiology November 2025 | DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005807 This investigation evaluated how the slope of phase III (SIII) of the volumetric capnogram reflects the balance between lung ventilation and perfusion (V̇A/Q̇) during acute bronchoconstriction. In a rabbit model, the researchers used methacholine to induce bronchoconstriction and synchrotron radiation K-edge subtraction (KES) imaging […]
Read MoreAuthor: Paolo Spriano, MD Medscape Apologies are commonly defined as “a regretful acknowledgment of an offense or failure; a formal, public statement of regret.” In healthcare, apologies offered with honesty and transparency are an essential part of addressing medical errors. An effective apology acknowledges what happened, accepts responsibility, and expresses sincere regret for the patient’s suffering. […]
Read MoreAuthors: Adele S. Budiansky et al. Source: Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology 37(4):335–340, October 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ANA.0000000000001046 This focused review outlines four major strategies used to achieve temporary intraoperative cerebral blood flow reduction during neurovascular surgery and endovascular procedures. Techniques reviewed include deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA), intravenous adenosine, rapid ventricular pacing (RVP), and endovascular balloon-assisted […]
