Patient engagement stands as the cornerstone of perioperative safety, bringing together the knowledge of medical professionals with the lived experiences of those receiving care. Through powerful personal testimonies and expert insights, we explore how this critical partnership transforms surgical outcomes.Vonda Vaden Bates shares her heartbreaking journey that began with her husband's successful brain surgery but ended tragically with a fatal pulmonary embolism. Despite their active engagement with the healthcare team, a crucial knowledge gap existed - they didn't recognize the symptoms of a developing blood clot. This experience crystalized what Vonda calls "the intersection of engagement with education," highlighting why simply asking questions isn't enough when patients don't know which questions are most crucial.The episode explores the comprehensive Patient Guide to Anesthesia and Surgery developed by the APSF, covering everything from understanding anesthesia types to post-surgical pain management strategies. This resource aims not just to inform but to empower patients to actively participate in their care journey, potentially taking preventative steps long before the morning of surgery.Dr. Della Lin, an anesthesiologist and APSF board member, offers a profound perspective that reshapes how we think about the patient-provider relationship: "Patients are not the visitors to hospitals; we are visitors in their lives." This fundamental shift moves healthcare away from doing things to or for patients toward genuinely co-designing care with them. The APSF resources undergo rigorous review by both clinicians and patients, ensuring they address real questions using accessible language and helpful visuals. We encourage anesthesia professionals to not only share these materials but to study them as tools for better understanding patient perspectives.

What happens when we truly listen to patients' fears about anesthesia? The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (APSF) discovered something remarkable: despite the wealth of medical information available, patients' most pressing questions about anesthesia remained largely unanswered in accessible language.This episode delves into the groundbreaking work of the APSF Patient Engagement Workgroup, featuring insights from Maria Van Pelt. We explore how this initiative transformed patient concerns into actionable resources through methodical research, including comprehensive surveys and in-depth interviews. The resulting Patient Guide to Anesthesia and Surgery addresses common questions like "What if I don't wake up from anesthesia?" and "Are there long-term side effects?"—questions that anesthesia professionals hear regularly but that patients struggle to find answers to online.Since its October 2023 launch, the Patient Guide has become one of APSF's most visited resources, attracting over 10,000 visitors monthly. This success demonstrates the critical need for patient-centered information that bridges the gap between medical expertise and patient understanding. As Van Pelt powerfully states, "Our goal is to create a culture where patients' voices are not just heard, but actively sought out and valued as essential components of safe care." Discover how this resource is changing the conversation around anesthesia safety and why patient engagement isn't just beneficial—it's essential for optimal outcomes. Visit APSF.org today to explore the Patient Guide and share this valuable resource with your patients and colleagues.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/270-from-fears-to-facts-empowering-patients-before-surgery/© 2025, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation

It's frontline leadership, with all the scars, pivots, and resilience required to survive in one of healthcare's most disrupted specialties.Whether you're a CRNA, SRNA, or a healthcare leader navigating change, this conversation is a masterclass in turning setbacks into systems, failures into frameworks, and words into lasting impact.Keywords:Anesthesia, CRNA Leadership, Healthcare Business, Executive Presence, Leadership Lessons, Nurse Anesthesiology, Organizational Growth, Accountability, Professional Development, Anesthesia Contracts, No Surprises Act, Healthcare Strategy, Team Building, Crucial Conversations, Five Dysfunctions of a TeamSend us a textFollow us at:InstagramFacebookTwitter/X

In the era of fast-tracked surgery and same-day discharge, anesthesiologists are looking for strategies to optimize recovery without compromising safety or pain control. A long-standing debate centers around whether low-dose bupivacaine or mepivacaine is the better spinal agent to promote early ambulation after total knee arthroplasty. In this episode of RAPM Focus, RAPM Editor-in-Chief, Brian Sites, MD, explores this debate with Clinton Pillow, MD, following the May 2025 publication of “Mepivacaine versus bupivacaine spinal anesthesia for return of motor function following total knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial.” This episode explores a topic faced by every anesthesiologist that manages joint replacements, especially total knee arthroplasty, has grappled with—what is the ideal spinal anesthetic when time is money and same-day discharge is the goal? Dr. Pillow is an assistant professor in the department of anesthesiology and perioperative medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina. *The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

"Is the fear of anesthesia keeping you from getting the surgery you want?"For many patients, it's not the scalpel they fear—it's the idea of “going under.” In this must-hear episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban teams up with his long-time anesthesiologist, Dr. Houston, to answer the most common—and most misunderstood—questions about anesthesia. From the myths surrounding “twilight” sedation to the truth about general anesthesia safety, they unpack exactly what happens before, during, and after you're asleep. What you'll learn in this episode:The three main types of anesthesia—local, twilight/conscious sedation, and general—and when each is truly appropriate.Why “twilight is safer” isn't the whole truth (and when it can actually be riskier).The inside story on nausea prevention—how a layered, multi-drug approach makes recovery smoother.What you should always ask about your anesthesiologist's credentials—and why team chemistry in the OR can save lives.How new medications like Ozempic can affect anesthesia safety and timing.The reality about rare fears like “waking up during surgery” or being “awake but paralyzed.”Why general anesthesia is far safer today than most people think, especially in healthy patients in accredited facilities.Why this episode matters:Anesthesia is the co-pilot of your surgery. The best surgical result means nothing without safety at every step. This episode arms you with the exact questions and knowledge to make sure your anesthesia care is as exceptional as your surgical care. If you've ever delayed surgery out of fear, or you know someone who has, this is the conversation that could change their mind—and keep them safe.Share this with a friend, leave a review if you learned something new, and drop your anesthesia questions for a future Q&A.

Perioperative stroke represents a rare but potentially devastating complication of anesthesia care. While occurring in less than 1% of non-cardiac surgical patients, this complication fundamentally threatens not just patient outcomes but their very identity. As Dr. Jacob Nadler poignantly notes in our podcast, "By maintaining brain health, we're preserving the essence of who our patients are—their memories, their personality, their ability to connect with friends and family."The most significant recent development in this field comes from the 2024 joint guidelines that have dramatically shortened the recommended waiting period following stroke before elective surgery. What was once a nine-month wait has been reduced to just three months based on compelling evidence from a cohort study of 5.8 million patients showing risk stabilization after 90 days. This change has profound implications for surgical planning and patient care timelines.Anesthesia professionals must be vigilant about key risk factors including advanced age, previous stroke history, renal dysfunction, and anemia. The podcast explores critical medication management considerations, particularly regarding anticoagulation protocols, alongside specific intraoperative targets for blood pressure and hemoglobin levels. For suspected perioperative stroke, rapid multidisciplinary intervention with emergent brain imaging, possible thrombolytics, and mechanical thrombectomy may be indicated.For every anesthesia professional, this episode provides essential insights to help fulfill our commitment that no one shall be harmed by anesthesia care.

In this bold and revealing episode, we sit down with Randy Moore — former military CRNA, past CEO of the AANA, and now a top executive at one of the country's largest anesthesia organizations — to explore how the anesthesia market unraveled, and why no one stopped it.From workforce blind spots to failed strategic planning, Randy walks us through the early warning signs that went unheeded, the flawed assumptions that fueled collapse, and the slow-motion crises that turned into full-blown disruption. We break down the shift from hospital dominance to ASC migration, the chilling effects of the No Surprises Act, and how private equity's playbook fell apart.But we don't stop at systems. Randy also gets personal — reflecting on the cost of unchecked ambition, the value of thoughtful leadership, and the non-negotiables he now looks for in partners and teams.Whether you lead a group, manage hospital operations, or just want to understand the business forces reshaping anesthesia, this conversation pulls no punches — and offers rare clarity from someone who's led on every side of the table.Keywords:Anesthesia, CRNA Leadership, Healthcare Strategy, No Surprises Act, Workforce Crisis, Private Equity, Surgical Services, Hospital Operations, ASC Growth, Healthcare LeadershipSend us a textFollow us at:InstagramFacebookTwitter/X

In this episode of Grade 1 View, we had the privilege of speaking with Tom Baribeault, DNP, CRNA, a pioneer in the field of opioid-free anesthesia. As the president and founder of the Society of Opioid Free Anesthesia, Tom has dedicated his career to advancing pain management techniques that prioritize patient safety and comfort. Today he'll share how his own clinical curiosity led him to abandon intraoperative opioids altogether, and what happened next. From reducing postoperative nausea to improving respiratory safety, this conversation will challenge you to question the status quo and expand your definition of what anesthesia can look like. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

In this episode of the North American Veterinary Anesthesia Society Podcast, host Dr. Bonnie Gatson is joined by veterinary anesthesiologist, Dr. Gianluca Bini, to explore the complexities of anesthetizing dogs and cats with intracranial disease and seizure disorders. Together, they discuss key physiologic considerations to know before anesthetizing any patient with a brain disorder, including the interrelation between cerebral perfusion and intracranial pressure and factors that can alter this crucial relationship. From managing intracranial pressure to choosing the right drugs when the brain's already a bit on edge, they'll cover the critical considerations that keep these cases from becoming true cranial chaos. Dr. Bini, owner of SafePetAnesthesia LLC and Assistant Professor of Anesthesia and Analgesia at Oklahoma State University, brings his signature mix of brainpower and practical know-how to the table. With experience in both academic and clinical practice, plus a passion for keeping anesthesia safe, he's the perfect guest to help us navigate the grey matter of navigating the challenges of anesthetizing neurologically compromised patients.If you like what you hear, we have a couple of favors to ask of you:Consider becoming a subscriber to the North American Veterinary Anesthesia Society (NAVAS) to access even more anesthesia and analgesia educational and RACE-approved CE content.
