Methadone is a synthetic opioid with unique pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties that distinguish it from other commonly used opioids. Originally developed as an analgesic and later adopted for opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment, methadone’s duration of action plays a central role in both its therapeutic benefits and its risks.

Over the past two decades, the number of surgeries performed on an outpatient basis has risen substantially, with healthcare systems seeking to reduce costs and accommodate patient preferences for a faster discharge and more comfortable recovery at home. While most outpatient surgery is safe and associated with lower overall morbidity, the issue of at-home mortality deserves close attention.

The increasing preference for outpatient surgery over inpatient procedures reflects advancements in medical technology, anesthesia, and postoperative care. Over the past two decades, the number of surgeries performed on an...

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become a highly beneficial tool for many clinicians, providing real-time bedside imaging that informs and enhances clinical decision-making. While gastric ultrasound remains a well-established use of POCUS for anesthesiologists to assess aspiration risk, the technology’s utility extends beyond the stomach. Non-gastric applications of POCUS—such as cardiac, pulmonary, vascular, and regional anesthesia imaging—offer the anesthesiologist a powerful toolset to optimize perioperative care, respond quickly to dynamic changes, and improve patient safety.

While modern anesthesia is very safe, anesthesia adverse events, or complications from anesthesia unrelated to a patient’s underlying medical condition, remain. These can include nausea, vomiting, confusion, neurotoxicity, and respiratory complications, all of which can worsen patient outcomes.1 In order to predict how a patient might respond to anesthesia, or to infer what predisposed a patient to an adverse event after the fact, researchers look to biomarkers—any measurable substance or molecule that is indicative of a disease or health outcome. Recently, researchers have identified several promising biomarkers for various anesthesia adverse events, including the few that are outlined below.
