ANESTHESIA PRACTICE • 2026

One Specialty.
A Rapidly Changing Clinical Landscape.

Modern anesthesiology extends across the entire perioperative journey—from
preoperative assessment and airway planning to pharmacology, regional
anesthesia, critical care, resuscitation and postoperative recovery.

The Harvard Anesthesiology Update 2026
provides a broad clinical review of important developments across major
anesthesiology subspecialties, with emphasis on evidence-based practice,
risk mitigation and contemporary patient care.

The curriculum spans cardiac, regional, thoracic, obstetric, neuro,
pediatric, ambulatory and office-based anesthesia while examining
emerging areas including artificial intelligence, POCUS,
new pharmacologic strategies and evolving perioperative guidelines.



THE PERIOPERATIVE COMMAND SYSTEM

Five Clinical Decisions.
One Continuous Patient Journey.

01 • ASSESS

Recognize Risk Before Anesthesia

Preoperative screening, geriatric assessment, pulmonary aspiration risk,
cardiovascular disease and complex medical conditions.

02 • PLAN

Build the Anesthetic Strategy

Pharmacology, TIVA, target-controlled infusion, regional techniques
and individualized perioperative planning.

03 • SECURE

Prepare for Airway Failure

Difficult airway planning, CICO scenarios, front-of-neck access,
bleeding airways and high-flow nasal oxygen.

04 • SUPPORT

Maintain Physiology Under Pressure

Sepsis, hemorrhage, transfusion, resuscitation, ventilation
and management of high-risk perioperative deterioration.

05 • RECOVER

Optimize the Postoperative Course

Analgesia, neurocognitive outcomes, enhanced recovery,
opioid management and patient safety after surgery.



THE 2026 CLINICAL BRIEFING

What Is Changing in Anesthesia?

Artificial Intelligence

AI-assisted anesthesia systems, medication safety,
risk prediction and perioperative neurocognitive assessment.

Point-of-Care Ultrasound

Cardiac, gastric and lung ultrasound with expanding
applications across perioperative care.

New Pharmacology

TCI, TIVA, emerging hypnotics and analgesics,
and important developments in the anesthesia drug pipeline.

GLP-1 Agonists

Contemporary considerations surrounding aspiration risk
and perioperative management.

Enhanced Patient Safety

Updated strategies for airway rescue, resuscitation,
transfusion, recovery and complex high-risk care.



HIGH-STAKES AIRWAY MANAGEMENT

When Intubation Fails,
Preparation Matters.

The curriculum addresses advanced airway management with emphasis
on preparation for unexpected difficulty and critical rescue scenarios.

Unexpected Difficult Intubation
Cannot Intubate, Cannot Oxygenate (CICO)
Front-of-Neck Airway Access
Bleeding Airway Management
High-Flow Nasal Oxygen Techniques



POINT-OF-CARE ULTRASOUND

See More Before You Act.

Point-of-care ultrasound appears throughout the curriculum as
an increasingly important component of perioperative assessment
and procedural care.

Cardiac Ultrasound
Gastric Ultrasound
Lung Ultrasound
POCUS in Pregnancy
Ultrasound-Guided Neuraxial Techniques



PHARMACOLOGY & ANALGESIA

The Anesthesia Drug Landscape
Is Evolving.

Target-Controlled Infusion

Practical concepts in TCI and the evolution of total intravenous anesthesia.

Emerging Analgesics

Updates involving Suzetrigine and Vocacapsaicin.

New Hypnotics

Review evolving pharmacologic options including Remimazolam.

Perioperative Methadone

Clinical considerations surrounding its role in perioperative analgesia.

Opioid Complexity

Pain management in opioid-treated patients and persistent postoperative opioid use.



ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

AI Enters the
Perioperative Environment.

The program examines emerging applications of artificial intelligence
in anesthesia delivery, patient safety and clinical risk prediction.

Smarter Anesthesia Systems
Medication Safety
Neurocognitive Risk Prediction
Workforce & Clinical Efficiency Challenges
