Relationship Between Perioperative Regional Anesthesia and the Risk of Missing Acute Compartment Syndrome Following Tibia Fractures.
The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of missed compartment syndrome in tibia fractures treated with and without regional anesthesia. ⋯ The results do not provide evidence that perioperative regional anesthesia increases the incidence of missed ACS in patients with operative tibial shaft or plateau injuries. but does decrease postoperative opioid requirements.

The Impact of Neuroanesthesia Fellowship Training and Anesthesiologist-Surgeon Dyad Volume on Patient Outcomes in Adult Spine Surgery: A Population-Based Study.
Extensive research has explored the impact of surgeons' characteristics on patient outcomes; however, the influence of anesthesiologists remains understudied. We performed a population-based retrospective cohort study to investigate the impact of anesthesiologists' characteristics on in-hospital morbidity after spine surgery. ⋯ Neuroanesthesia fellowship training and high surgeon-anesthesiologist dyad familiarity was associated with a reduction in in-hospital morbidity following spine surgery. These findings underscore the superiority of structured fellowship education over case exposure experience alone, advocate for dedicated neuroanesthesia teams with high surgeon-anesthesiologist dyad volume and recognize neuroanesthesia as a crucial subspecialty in spine surgery.
