Practice Guideline
Guidelines to the Practice of Anesthesia-Revised Edition 2025.
The Guidelines to the Practice of Anesthesia-Revised Edition 2025 (the Guidelines) were prepared by the Canadian Anesthesiologists' Society (CAS), which reserves the right to determine the publication and distribution of the Guidelines. The Guidelines are subject to revision and updated versions are published annually. ⋯ Anesthesiologists should exercise their own professional judgement in determining the proper course of action for any patient's circumstances. The CAS assumes no responsibility or liability for any error or omission arising from the use of any information contained in its Guidelines to the Practice of Anesthesia.

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious pathological process with high mortality. Ferroptosis is pivotal in sepsis, whose regulatory mechanisms in sepsis-induced ARDS remains unknown. We aimed to determine key ferroptosis-related genes in septic ARDS and investigate therapeutic traditional Chinese medicine. ⋯ Conclusions: Ferroptosis-related genes of IL1B , MAPK 3, and TXN serve as potential diagnostic genes for sepsis-induced ARDS. Sea buckthorn may be therapeutic medication for ARDS. This study provides a new direction for septic ARDS treatment.

Review the subsequent impact of recommendations made by the 2004 American Surgical Association Blue Ribbon Committee (BRC I) Report on Surgical Education. ⋯ The medical landscape has changed considerably since BRC I published its findings in 2005. A contemporary assessment of surgical education and training is needed to meet the future needs of the profession and our patients.

Meta Analysis
Use of muscular ultrasound to detect intensive care unit-acquired weakness: a systematic review and Meta-analysis.
Background : This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to detecting performance of muscular ultrasound for intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness (ICUAW). Methods : We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane library, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang databases for articles published before July 2024. A random-effects model was utilized to derive the summary estimates of sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). ⋯ Furthermore, integrated analysis of these two indicators revealed that the cross-sectional area of rectus femoris was statistically superior to the thickness of rectus femoris, with higher sensitivity (0.82 [95%CI 0.74-0.87] vs. 0.75 [95%CI 0.65-0.83], P < 0.05) and AUC (0.91 [95%CI 0.88-0.93] vs. 0.80 [95%CI 0.76-0.83], P < 0.01). Conclusions : Muscular ultrasound could be a reliable tool for ICUAW detection. Compared with alternative indices, the cross-sectional area of the rectus femoris exhibits superior detection efficacy and may be considered as a valuable parameter for clinical application.

Multicenter StudyIdentifying Variation in Intraoperative Management of Brain-Dead Organ Donors and Opportunities for Improvement: A Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group Analysis.
Intraoperative events and clinical management of deceased organ donors after brain death are poorly characterized and may consequently vary between hospitals and organ procurement organization (OPO) regions. In a multicenter cohort, we sought to estimate the incidence of hypotension and anesthetic and nonanesthetic medication use during organ recovery procedures. ⋯ Despite guidelines recommending maintenance of MAP >60 mm Hg in adult brain-dead organ donors, hypotension during recovery procedures was common. Future research is needed to clarify the relationship between intraoperative events with donation and transplantation outcomes and to identify best practices for the anesthetic management of brain-dead donors in the operating room.
