Sitting Versus Supine Modified Mallampati Test for Predicting Difficult Airway: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. [Journal Article]
Anesth Analg. 2026 Jul 24. [Online ahead of print]Vo BTN, Huynh YP, … Tam KWA&A
CONCLUSIONS: The diagnostic accuracy of the modified Mallampati test for predicting difficult airway was not significantly associated with patient position. Supine assessment may be an alternative when upright assessment is not feasible as part of a multimodal airway assessment.

Trends and Variations in Tracheal Intubation for Acute Respiration Failure in Critically Ill Patients in the United States. [Journal Article]
Anesth Analg. 2026 Jul 20. [Online ahead of print]Karamchandani K, Iancau A, Rosero EBA&A
CONCLUSIONS: In the National Inpatient Sample, tracheal intubation in critically ill patients with ARF has declined over time with no change in mortality. In the same period, mortality rates in nonintubated patients have fallen. Further work is needed to better understand factors affecting the decision to intubate for respiratory failure in critically ill patients.

Making the Surgical Safety Checklist Even Safer: A Team Timeout Checklist to Improve Information Exchange and Interprofessional Communication Before Skin Incision. [Journal Article]
Anesth Analg. 2026 Jul 20. [Online ahead of print]Weiss M, Reimer C, … Piegeler TA&A
CONCLUSIONS: In our study, the nurse-led TTOC significantly improved the exchange of safety-critical items during the pre-incision phase, facilitated closed-loop communication, and empowered the participation of various professional groups. These findings suggest integrating the TTOC with the WHO SSC before-incision protocol may have important advantages.

Sonorheometry Quantra QPlus Characteristics in Adult Cardiac Surgical Patients: An Observational Cohort Study. [Journal Article]
Anesth Analg. 2026 Jul 20. [Online ahead of print]Knio ZO, Marche CA, … Mazzeffi MAA&A
CONCLUSIONS: CTH, PCS, and FCS demonstrated high discriminative accuracy for abnormalities in corresponding laboratory assays. CPB and hypofibrinogenemia modified the relationship between PCS and platelet count, with a higher platelet count observed for a given PCS during CPB and when fibrinogen was low.

A Retrospective Propensity-Matched Cohort Study of Intravenous Versus Oral Iron Formulations for Management of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Pregnancy. [Journal Article]
Anesth Analg. 2026 Jul 17. [Online ahead of print]Choi UE, Nicholson RC, … Hepner DLA&A
CONCLUSIONS: This study evaluates the differential effects of IV compared with oral iron formulations in a large cohort of matched pregnant patients. Compared to oral iron, IV iron may be preferable for increasing Hb, resolving IDA, and reducing maternal complications.

Sex-Specific Nonlinear Association Between Preoperative Hemoglobin and Intraoperative Oxygen Desaturation in High-Altitude Surgical Patients: A Retrospective Observational Study. [Journal Article]
Anesth Analg. 2026 Jul 15. [Online ahead of print]Yan Q, Xu Y, … Feng YA&A
CONCLUSIONS: In high-altitude surgical patients receiving mechanical ventilation during general anesthesia, we identified sex-specific hemoglobin thresholds associated with intraoperative oxygen desaturation. While statistical inflection points occur at higher levels, particularly in males, our data suggest that clinical caution is advised when hemoglobin exceeds 18.0 g/dL in males and 14.9 g/dL in females. These findings underscore the rheological risks of higher hemoglobin concentrations and support the adoption of sex-stratified preoperative assessment protocols to optimize perioperative oxygen delivery.

Predicting Fluid Responsiveness in Mechanically Ventilated Adults: An Umbrella Review of Diagnostic Accuracy Meta-Analyses. [Journal Article]
Anesth Analg. 2026 Jul 15. [Online ahead of print]Meco M, Giustiniano E, … Agosteo EA&A
CONCLUSIONS: Among dynamic predictors of fluid responsiveness, TVC and EEOT appear to be the most accurate and robust indices. PLR retains intermediate utility, PPV and SVV show moderate reliability, whereas PVI and ΔIVC should not be used in isolation.
