Could better planning have saved Vonda’s grandmother? Patient advocate Vonda Vaden Bates describes how her grandmother’s emergency surgery ended in tragedy - for a reason we often overlook. What simple plans do you think could make recovery frictionless? #ANES26 #patientsafety

It’s terrible when we have shortages of life-saving medicines, nutrition, and blood products… even in America. #BloodCrisis #PatientSafety #MedX 🌻

What if smarter preop triage could save money, expand access, and get the highest-risk patients seen sooner? The #APSFPodcast explores risk-based perioperative pathways, telemedicine, safer AI use, & the patient experience. Thanks to Blink Device! apsf.org/podcast/329-smarter…

Want to lower your chances of #cognitivechange after #surgery? We asked a leading expert in perioperative brain health, Stacie Deiner, MD, MS, how you can make the most of your surgical experience. This work was recently featured in the APSF panel at #ANES26. #brainhealth

How many times have you seen this patient in the middle of the night? If perioperative death were a separate category, it would be the 3rd leading cause of death in the US. Carol Peden, MB ChB, MD describes a new paradigm in anesthesia care at the Pierce Lecture #ANES26 6a

Huge reductions in hospital costs with simple geriatric interventions - provide hearing aids and glasses, have familiar faces at the bedside, encourage early mobility and good nutrition & use pre operative screening (even the aides can do it while checking the BP).

180 years ago today, anesthesiology changed medicine forever. 🪄 ✨ On #WorldEtherDay, we mark the first successful public demonstration of ether anesthesia in 1846 — and honor how far patient safety has come since. 💬 What safety advance are you most grateful for? 👇

Part 2 of the #APSFPodcast Stoelting series takes on one of the conference’s six axioms: discharge is a transition, not an endpoint — and what that means for how we think about recovery. 🔊 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and review. #anesthesia apsf.org/podcast/328-dischar…

That red meat allergy is a red flag. 🚩 Alpha-gal syndrome is rising fast & has real implications in the OR. Heparin, some propofol formulations, bioprosthetic valves, & surgical sealants can carry triggers. 🐷 💬 Have you managed an #alphagal patient? apsf.org/article/alpha-gal-s…

A red meat allergy on your preoperative eval. No big deal? 🥩 Not so fast. For this CABG patient, it could change everything about the case. ⚠️ #PatientSafety #Anesthesiology #alphagal #anesthesia #APSFNewsletter apsf.org/article/alpha-gal-s…
