Show Notes
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.

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.

How can we preserve respiratory function without compromising shoulder analgesia? We discuss Nanda’s et al. 2026 review on phrenic-sparing regional anesthesia, from modified interscalene techniques to distal block strategies, and how to match the approach to the patient’s respiratory reserve.

A patient may have followed fasting instructions perfectly, but does that mean the stomach is actually empty? In this episode, we discuss the ASRA Pain Medicine narrative review and expert practice recommendations by Haskins and colleagues examining gastric point-of-care ultrasound in medically complex patients. We explore when fasting history may be unreliable, which patient populations may benefit most from gastric POCUS, and how real-time assessment of gastric contents can influence anesthetic and airway management.

New pediatric neuromuscular blockade guidelines are reshaping everyday anesthesia practice. We unpack what they mean for intubation, quantitative monitoring, sugammadex reversal, and high-risk patients, with clinical insights from guideline lead author Professor Veyckemans.

In this 100th episode of the NYSORA Podcast, we explore the debate over opioid-free versus conventional anesthesia with Dr. Cao. From reduced postoperative nausea and vomiting to potential cardiovascular risks, we examine the evidence, trade-offs, and which patients may benefit most from an opioid-free approach.
