Dr. Wongtangman presented our Suvorexant RCT data #IARS 2026. The orexin receptor antagonist did not improve the primary endpoint wakefulness after sleep onset after cardiac surgery but resulted in deeper sleep - higher doses may be needed to improve sleep in the SICU.

Team MONTEFIORE Einstein Anesthesiology presented our best research at the international anesthesia research society meeting in Montreal. We received several awards and nominations. We’re providing great care to our patients today and even better care tomorrow. #ISRS

Drs. Buasuk and Wongtangman presenting their important work on the effects of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl on PACU discharge readiness. Great work #IARS 2026 in Montreal

[Matthias Eikermann @MatthiasEikerm1]

Dr. Wongtangman received an award for the best paper published in A@A - Ketamine given in the intensive care unit during fentanyl Infusion induces PTSD-like perceptions that patients remember even 3 years after discharge #IARS

[Matthias Eikermann @MatthiasEikerm1]

Dr. Jan Schwartz presented his great work on how to improve same-day case cancellations and productivity in the G.I. suite. The project included an AI derived prediction instrument, and a bundle intervention. Very excited about the impressive results at Montefiore Einstein.#IARS

Dr. Bordbar‘s Presentation #IARS 2026 indicates that diabetes and elevated preoperative blood sugar are not independent risk factors of losing the ability to live independently after surgery. The enhanced risk of patients with diabetes relates to their severe, comorbidities.

Dr. Maira Rudolph presented high impact work based on GBD data. The major burden of atrial fibrillation will keep increasing during the next years - BUT we can reverse the risk if we mitigate the main risk factors of a-fib obesity, high alcohol use, and high sodium intake. #IARS

We are using too much deep sedation, typically without physician order - light sedation that accepts some discomfort allows for early mobilization and gives the patient the chance to recover to independent living after surgery and critical illness https://t.co/iKhSUXjBgh

🎊 Excited for Day 1 of ANESTHESIOLOGY 2025! #ANES25

Woman Surgeons get their emergent operations started earlier. More engaged, better communication and outcomes. Let’s learn! @MontefioreNYC @MontefioreSurg @MonteEinstAnest https://t.co/ZcKeZkVquF

Prediction of Blood Transfusion in the OR: better than any other including AI - can be used everywhere in the world to minimize waste. https://t.co/E8cRXTWXO6

IARS annual meeting Montefiore – Einstein Anesthesiology dinner. Thank you to everyone for attending the meeting to represent Monte.

[Matthias Eikermann @MatthiasEikerm1]

#IARS2025 team Montefiore rocked the boat with outstanding science presentations. More to follow tomorrow!

Use Ketamine with caution! Without co-administration of benzodiazepines: expect memorable horror trips. I still remember the consequences of a 30 mg IV ketamine dose I was given more than 30 years ago. https://t.co/hTb24kOWZD

Thank you for the opportunity to
continue the great work 🙏

Ketamine use is a risk factor of respiratory complications in patients undergoing procedural sedation. Ketamine is less forgiving than we all thought it would be. @Karuna_Job @MonteEinstAnest @MontefioreNYC https://t.co/Z0Eis01zEg

#ASA2023 these outstanding clinician scientists, previous and current Chief of the Montefiore Anesthesiology Digital Health Team, Drs. Karuna Wongtangman and Maira Rudolph were the shining stars ⭐️ of the meeting.

[Montefiore Einstein Anesthesiology @MonteEinstAnest]

A big congratulations to Dr. Karuna Wongtangman (second from left), who received an award from the Society of Ambulatory Anesthesia for her research on reducing same-day case cancellations in ambulatory surgery.
