Objective: This review explores recent advancements in anesthesia care, focusing on the integration of innovative practices to enhance patient outcomes across the perioperative period.
Methods: Following the framework of Whitmore and Knafl, we systematically searched six databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, CINAHL, OVID, and Cochrane Library) for studies published from January 2020 to January 2024, relating to advancements in anesthesia care, best practice implementation, and patient outcomes. After independent screening and data extraction by two reviewers, the review focuses on innovations in anesthetic drugs, monitoring technologies, anesthesia techniques, and evidence-based practices in anesthesia and clinical guidelines.
Results: Of the 25,984 studies retrieved, 26 met inclusion criteria. Recent developments in anesthetic drugs have improved safety and efficacy, reducing complications. Advanced monitoring devices, such as multiparameter and brain function monitors, have enhanced patient safety through real-time assessments. Innovations in regional anesthesia and ultrasound-guided nerve blocks have led to better pain management, reduced recovery time, and minimized morbidity. Additionally, evidence-based practices like comprehensive preoperative assessment, patient education, and multidisciplinary teamwork significantly improved patient outcomes.
Conclusion: Integrating the latest innovations and best practices in anesthesia care is essential for optimizing patient outcomes. Ongoing research and adoption of advanced technologies are crucial to addressing current challenges and enhancing anesthesia quality. This review emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach from preoperative preparation to postoperative recovery to achieve optimal patient outcomes.

Background: Limited evidence exists regarding the cognitive and physical improvement effects of medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) intake in patients with stroke. This study aimed to investigate the association between MCT-enhanced rice consumption and enhancements in outcomes, including cognitive level, in patients following stroke.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study on adults admitted to a rehabilitation center with cognitive decline following acute stroke.

Background: Hospitalized patients may require nutrition support because of inadequate intake or impaired gut function. Enteral nutrition is preferred over parenteral nutrition because of fewer complications and earlier return of gut function. This study describes peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN) use in an Australian tertiary center, evaluating its indications, incidence of adverse effects, and outcomes without the support of a nutrition support service.

Background: Charcot foot is a debilitating complication of peripheral neuropathy and is primarily associated with diabetes, leading to structural damage, ulceration, and osteomyelitis. Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is a promising treatment modality for wound healing and bone metabolism.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of PEMF therapy in promoting bone growth and ulcer healing in patients with Charcot foot ulcers.

Background: Initially limited to inpatient use, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is now frequently used in community settings. However, complexities in wound management step-down strategies in the United Kingdom, including regional variations in referral processes, lack of consensus on funding criteria, and limited availability of NPWT units, have led to extended hospital length of stay (LOS) for patients ready for discharge but still needing NPWT. Single-use NPWT (sNPWT) can serve as a bridge between hospital and community NPWT.

Objective: To assess the effect of the number of cellular and/or tissue-based product (CTP) applications on healing outcomes and wound area reduction (WAR) rates in patients with chronic wounds of multiple etiologies.
Methods: Data from a multicenter private wound care practice electronic health record database were analyzed for Medicare patients receiving CTPs from January 2018 through December 2023.
