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 thelancet.com/journals/lanre…

🎊 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 journals.lww.com/annalsofsurger…

Prediction of Blood Transfusion in the OR: better than any other including AI - can be used everywhere in the world to minimize waste. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

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

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

Dr. Wongtangman received the IARS Award for the most frequently cited abstract in Anesthesia&Anesthesia for her work on intraoperative hypotension and delirium risk. ⁦@iars360⁩

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. journals.lww.com/anesthesia-ana…

Want to reduce your same-day case cancellation rate and associated costs!? This report is an ABSOLUTE must read for anyone interested in informatics, health economics or theatre efficiency! @Karuna_Job @MairaRudolph @MatthiasEikerm1 🔗…-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/an…

Thank you for the opportunity to continue the great work 🙏

#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.

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. #MedTwitter #Anesthesiologist #Anesthesiology #ASA203 #Montefiore

Our Digital Health Research team has been busy at ASA's Annual Meeting in San Francisco this past weekend! @ASALifeline #Anes2023 #Anes23 #Anesthesiology #MonteAnesthesia #Anesthesiologist #MontefioreEinstein #MontefioreProud

Lab Dinner #ASA2023- great work presented by the award winning Montefiore Anesthesiology digital health team.

This ambulatory anesthesia award highlights our successful efforts to streamline preoperative workup in ambulatory surgery using AI and improved communication. Reduced same day cancellation, paper to be published soon #ASA2023

Quality of residency education affects patients’ outcomes: most residents improve while some decline over time. This trajectory is associated with the risk of respiratory complications of patients treated by these residents. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

ICYMI: Our Research Lab, led by #Anesthesiology Lab Chief Dr. Karuna Wongtangman (pictured), recently published new work focused on a never-before used automated tool to predict which patients are at a high risk of case cancellation. @JournalofClinAn sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I recently came across data on who we spend our time with over the course of our lives. The insights are simultaneously inspiring and depressing. Here are 6 graphs everyone needs to see:

#ANES22 What is our patient’s ASA score? It is obvious that anesthesiologist do not pay enough attention to that question. Machine learning is better - we use it for a clinical decision making at Montefiore - Einstein
