Anesthesia professionals, what laryngoscope blade do YOU reach for?

Has it changed over time? Stylet or no stylet?

Here’s what the #APSF2026 attendees said at the Stoelting Conference on the patient’s perioperative journey.

Did you hear it? 🎧

Headphones and earbuds in the OR can feel harmless, but can be distracting and a risk to #patient safety.

Read the latest #APSFNewsletter article on the risks of personal auditory devices during #anesthesia care.

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?

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

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.

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

Here’s what Ruby’s case could have looked like:

[APSF @APSForg]

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

[APSF @APSForg]

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? 👇

[Stacey Maxwell @sjmax12]

We look forward to seeing everyone in San Diego at #ANES26! Please stop by the APSF booth to learn more about what we do! We are located in the ASA Resource Center in the exhibit hall.
