Anesthesia Updates

When blood pressure drops after induction, the reflex is often fluids, but that’s usually the wrong move. This episode discusses the real driver: vasodilation. Based on a 2026 Anesthesiology review, we explore how to choose the right vasopressor, avoid common pitfalls, and apply physiology, not habit, at the bedside.

A 2026 Anesthesiology study suggests that peripheral nerve blocks may reduce myocardial injury after hip fracture surgery. Is this real cardioprotection or just good pain control? We discuss the data, the physiology, and where to be cautious.

A wrong-side nerve block is a “never event”, yet it still happens. In this episode, we focus on one critical safeguard: Stop Before You Block. Why does this simple step fail in practice, and how can we make it work where it matters most, at the bedside?

Mixing lidocaine, ropivacaine, and bicarbonate is routine in many hospitals, but is it actually safe? In this episode, we discuss the main findings from a 2026 article by Gasteiger et al. (Anesthesiology), which questions the stability, efficacy, and safety of common local anesthetic mixtures. From crystal formation to reduced block performance, we explore why combining drugs may do more harm than good, and how to rethink this everyday practice.

A new 2025 international guideline is pushing for videolaryngoscopy to become the universal standard for tracheal intubation. In this podcast, we explore how a simple camera and screen are transforming airway management, improving team coordination, and increasing first-pass success in critical situations. We also discuss the surprising barriers to adoption, from the “paradox of expertise” to cost and training, and what this shift means for patient safety and the future of emergency medicine.

In this episode, we discuss a 2026 randomized trial comparing the PENG block and lateral quadratus lumborum block for total hip arthroplasty. Both techniques preserve mobility and perform well in the PACU, but differences emerge after discharge. We explore which block provides better pain control, reduces opioid use, and what this means for real-world recovery.
