Anemia is a reduction in the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood that decreases its capacity to transport oxygen to tissues, which can negatively affect surgical outcomes.

Preoperative anemia reduces the blood's oxygen-carrying reserve and is linked to worse surgical outcomes and more transfusion. Many causes can be treated before elective surgery.

Intraoperative cardiac arrest is a rare but high-stakes event that surgical teams must be prepared to manage effectively. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is already a complex, team-based intervention requiring rapid coordination under pressure.

To minimize risks and improve patient outcomes, individual roles and alignment across the entire OR team should be clearly defined during...

Sedation is commonly used in medical procedures to reduce anxiety, discomfort, and pain while allowing patients to remain responsive or lightly asleep. Physician assistants play an important role in delivering healthcare in many settings, and in some cases, they may be involved in administering or managing sedation.

Before a physician assistant can participate in administering sedation, they must receive specific education in pharmacology...

The lateral surgical position, where the patient lies on their side with dependent limbs supported, is widely used across multiple surgical specialties and types of surgeries. This position offers enhanced access to and visualization of lateral anatomical structures and the ability to leverage gravity for tissue retraction.

For anesthesiologists and perioperative teams, understanding which procedures use the lateral position helps anticipate physiologic...
