Intraoperative hypotension
Low blood pressure during surgery and its effects on outcomes.
Key point
In adults undergoing elective noncardiac surgery, targeting higher intraoperative blood pressure values does not improve major postoperative outcomes compared with routine management.

More anesthesiology trends
All specialties →Opioid-free anaesthesia
Anaesthesia techniques that avoid or minimise intraoperative opioids.
GLP-1 drugs and perioperative aspiration
Delayed gastric emptying with GLP-1 based medicines and the risk at anaesthesia.
Key point: GLP-1 RA-based therapies should continue in most patients, with individualized risk assessment and gastric ultrasound when delayed gastric emptying is suspected.
Liposomal bupivacaine
Studies of liposomal bupivacaine for postoperative analgesia and regional blocks.
Postoperative delirium
Acute confusion after surgery, its prevention and outcomes.
Fascial plane blocks
Regional blocks such as the erector spinae plane and quadratus lumborum blocks.
Key point: For adults, fascial plane blocks are strongly recommended to reduce pain and/or opioid requirements after open cardiothoracic, abdominal, retroperitoneal, pelvic surgeries and mastectomy.
EEG-guided anaesthesia
Processed EEG monitoring to guide anaesthetic depth.
