Brain activity under anesthesia challenges what we know about consciousness | ScienceDaily
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260624025514.htm
The unconscious brain appears to be far more capable than scientists once believed. Researchers found that patients under general anesthesia could still process language at a sophisticated level, distinguishing nouns, verbs, and adjectives while listening to stories. Even more remarkably, neural activity showed signs of predicting upcoming words before they were heard. The results challenge traditional ideas about consciousness and hint at new possibilities for brain-computer interfaces. …

A small mouse study found that supplemental vitamin D reduced neuroinflammation and reduced cell death in the hippocampus and prefontal cortex of offspring of female mice who were given propofol (a general anaesthetic) during pregnancy.

“If it is our mission
to alleviate suffering
as well as to preserve life
there should be no conscientious restraint…”—Gael Turnbull, “James Young Simpson: If It Is Our Mission…”

Anaesthesia’s remarkable journey since the 19th century.
An exhibition at the Museum of the History of Medicine in Paris traces the saga of this discipline, from its beginnings to the major advances that transformed medical practice.

Now here's something a bit different!
These private anaesthesia companies attracted £42.0 (US$53.0, €50.8) billion in venture capital funding!
Is it time to quit our day jobs?! 😆

This study found that in patients with measured peri-op renal parameters, for every 100 elective major non-cardiac surgery procedures, postoperative AKI could be expected to happen in a minimum of four and a maximum of 15 cases.

The Safe Anaesthesia Liaison Group recommends standardising waveform capnography as a white solid filled-in graph at the bottom of the monitor display.
Is there compliance with the SALG standard in the UK?

Does age matter?
Compared with patients aged 80–84 y, patients aged ≥ 90 y had approximately three times greater odds of 30-day mortality following elective surgery, and more than twice the odds following non-elective surgery.

How common is chronic postsurgical pain after caesarean delivery?
The pooled incidence of chronic postsurgical pain was 15.2% at 3 months, 9.5% at 6 months and 5% at 12 months after caesarean delivery.

Chronic postsurgical pain is recognised increasingly as a complication of caesarean delivery.
The incidence of chronic postsurgical pain falls between 3 - 12 months, appears to be stable over time and appears to be lower in low- and middle-income countries.

Have you ever used peripheral regional anaesthesia as the sole anaesthetic technique in a child?
Of 99 patients, 82% were successful!
Success rate increased with age, from 67% in 6-year-olds to 100% in 12-year-olds.

Various thresholds have been proposed to help guide peri-operative risk assessment.
These can help inform discussions between clinicians and patients about the appropriateness of surgery and risks.
