CHICAGO – Older patients whose primary language is not English may be at greater risk for delirium after surgery in American hospitals. People who struggle with food insecurity or loneliness may be more likely to experience chronic pain after surgery. Fentanyl overdose deaths in older adults are rising at similar rates to younger people. When anesthesiologists lead preoperative care for hip fractures, patients get to the operating room faster and recover better. These findings and other timely research will be presented at ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2025, the annual meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), Oct. 10-14, in San Antonio.
ANESTHESIOLOGY 2025 is the premier event of the specialty offering:
- Innovative scientific research from over 800 abstracts offering new insights on a wide variety of topics affecting anesthesiology.
- More than 350 educational sessions and panels covering the latest in specialized care for obstetric and pediatric patients, non-opioid acute and chronic pain management, how artificial intelligence is being used in anesthesiology and more.
- Lucy Kalanithi, M.D., FACP – a New York Times bestselling author and physician – will present the keynote address “When Breath Becomes Air: From Physician to Patient – The Intersection of Medicine, Mortality, and Humanity.”
- An engaging exhibit hall where attendees can interact with leading innovators in the field, watch hands-on demonstrations and get insights on the latest technology and cutting-edge solutions shaping the future of patient care.
