    AbstractAnesthesiology has evolved to be a leader in addressing patient safety. Our specialty has overcome serious morbidities including explosions, fires, organ toxicity, fatal arrhythmias, and hypoxic brain damage. Anesthesia safety has been significantly improved due to modern drug development, technical advances, and a strong leadership willing to apply human factors and systems' research strategies, but patient safety concerns remain at the forefront as we strive to improve patient care even further. This year marks the centennial year since the publication of the first issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia. Today, the International Anesthesia Research Society (IARS) and Anesthesia & Analgesia continue to advance the boundaries of patient safety by disseminating practice standards, serving as a forum for novel ideas, and supporting research advancements. This review will discuss several topics published in Anesthesia & Analgesia that exemplify steady changes leading to the safe practices that we rely on currently as well as other IARS activities that have advocated and elevated patient safety within the specialty.Copyright © 2022 International Anesthesia Research Society.
