Congratulations to our Michigan Anesthesiology residents and fellows who participated in the Midwest Anesthesia Residents Conference (MARC) this past weekend. The annual conference — the largest of its kind — brought together nearly 700 residents from across the country to present unique and medically complex cases.

The University of Michigan has launched a new transdisciplinary institute that will bolster research collaborations and strengthen community engagement to address the national opioid overdose crisis, which leads to nearly 200 deaths per day across the United States.

In this long-form article profiling people living with chronic pain, Daniel Clauw, M.D., provides insights into the science of treating pain and matching patients with the right treatments. Clauw is a professor of anesthesiology and executive director of pain & opioid research.

Medication guidelines for post-surgical opioid prescribing were associated with a lower rate of long-term opioid use and much lower amounts of opioid prescription fills in Michigan compared with the rest of the U.S.

Her research aims to provide foundational data to establish a future clinical trial assessing postoperative outcomes in patients who receive phenylephrine or norepinephrine.

The idea of performing awake spinal anesthesia on a baby sounded a little intimidating to Ashlee Holman, M.D., when first approached by urologist John Park, M.D.

Michigan Anesthesiology welcomes 27 newly matched residents to our residency program.

The program, funded through the U-M Medical School Office of Research, provides funding for researchers to invest in the bold, novel ideas of others.
