Rapid sequence induction is one of the most familiar techniques in anesthesia, but what clinicians actually do during RSI is changing. In this episode, we discuss a 2026 Anesthesiology study by Marcus and colleagues examining more than 9,000 RSI cases across 13 U.S. hospitals. The study discusses changing patterns in neuromuscular blockade, induction agents, cricoid pressure, videolaryngoscopy, and the clinical outcomes associated with rocuronium versus succinylcholine.

A new BJA trial compares paravertebral block (PVB) and PEFB for rib fracture pain. While PEFB matches early pain control, it fails in durability, leading to more rescue interventions.

In this episode of NYSORA Updates in Anesthesiology, Dr. Hadzic reveals why the stellate ganglion block (SGB) has re-emerged as a hot topic in perioperative medicine. Drawing on a landmark 2025 narrative review from MD Anderson published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia, we explore what SGB can—and cannot—realistically offer today.

In this episode, we review the 2026 American Society of Anesthesiologists Practice Guideline on perioperative pain management using local and regional analgesia, based on evidence from more than 600 randomized trials. The guideline delivers a clear message: fascial plane blocks are a core component of modern multimodal analgesia, not an optional add-on. We discuss where the evidence is strongest, including open and minimally invasive abdominal surgery, mastectomy, cardiothoracic procedures, and pediatric surgery, and how these techniques consistently reduce opioid use, improve pain control, and enhance quality of recovery.

This episode discusses the main findings of a new study from Sajdeya et al., 2025, published in Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine. The research asks a timely, important question: Does cannabis use affect postoperative pain in older adults? We've seen rising cannabis use among seniors, up to 5% nationally, but almost no data on how it affects acute surgical pain. This study finally gives us real evidence, using advanced NLP to detect cannabis use in the electronic record. And the findings? Well... they challenge a lot of assumptions.

This episode discusses the main findings from a 2025 review by Suleiman et al. published in BJA, examining how we should manage direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients having neuraxial anesthesia and deep peripheral nerve blocks. Traditionally, the ASRA guidelines have leaned heavily on long DOAC interruption times and selective drug level testing to avoid the rare but devastating complication of spinal epidural hematoma. But new evidence—from the PAUSE strategy and the PAUSE-2 pilot trial—suggests that shorter, pharmacokinetics-based DOAC holds may offer comparable safety without increasing thromboembolic risk.

A 2025 Anesthesiology meta-analysis shows that the best pain control after total hip arthroplasty comes from combining regional anesthesia with local infiltration analgesia (LIA). While LIA alone is effective, adding a quadratus lumborum or pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block significantly improves pain relief, reduces opioid use, and preserves mobility. The takeaway: stop choosing between techniques — regional + local is the new gold standard for hip surgery analgesia.
