- Facilitators of and barriers to non-regional anesthesia fellowship-trained anesthesiologists performing ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia: a qualitative study using the Theoretical Domains Framework. [Journal Article]Can J Anaesth. 2026 Jul 14. [Online ahead of print]CJ
- CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia adoption by non-regional anesthesia fellowship-trained anesthesiologists is influenced by a complex interplay of individual, social, and environmental factors. These findings highlight clear targets for implementation strategies, including more training, resource allocation, and strengthened interdisciplinary collaboration across departments such as anesthesia, surgery, and emergency medicine. Addressing these barriers and leveraging enablers through theory-informed interventions may increase UGRA uptake and ultimately lead to better perioperative patient care.

- Effects of acupoint stimulation for postoperative analgesia after Cesarean delivery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Acupoint stimulation appears to provide small magnitudes of pain reduction after Cesarean delivery compared with both standard care and sham interventions. Acupoint stimulation may be an effective supplementary treatment for postoperative pain after Cesarean delivery. Further research is needed to define optimal timing, duration, and techniques.

- Association between lactate clearance rate and 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis: a retrospective cohort study and exploration of an optimal lactate clearance as an endpoint of resuscitation. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: In patients with sepsis, the relationship between lactate clearance during resuscitation and 28-day mortality was nonlinear. The mortality rate declined steeply with increasing lactate clearance until a point was reached, after which the survival benefit plateaued. These findings provide new insights for clinicians in defining individualized endpoints for fluid resuscitation in sepsis management.

- Estimates and confidence intervals for mean postoperative health-care-associated infections per week among operating rooms and other anesthetizing locations. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Poisson regression with robust variance estimation resulted in more precise estimates than did the method of batch means, which will lower health care costs. We recommend reporting counts of postoperative health-care-associated infections per week for each anesthetizing location by using this method.

- Assessment of risk factors for the development of postoperative hypotension in patients undergoing colorectal surgery: a historical cohort study. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Epidural analgesia was associated with postoperative hypotension. The hemodynamic effects of epidural analgesia should be considered before insertion, especially in patients undergoing high-risk surgery, in whom postoperative hypotension may have substantial negative consequences.
