Anesthesia Updates

In this episode of Updates in Anesthesiology, Dr. Hadzic delves into a 2025 study, which analyzed over 53,000 surgical cases. The key finding? Neuromuscular blockers increase the risk of postoperative delirium in older adults, unless they’re properly reversed. Whether you use sugammadex or neostigmine, reversal agents significantly reduce this risk. Tune in to hear what this means for your clinical practice and how small changes in perioperative management can make a significant impact on cognitive outcomes.

In this episode of Updates in Anesthesiology, Dr. Hadzic unpacks the latest evidence on pharmacologic agents for perioperative cardioprotection in noncardiac surgery. From beta-blockers and statins to the evolving debate around RAAS inhibitors and aspirin, we cover what works, what doesn’t, and what’s still unclear. Plus, we discuss whether tighter blood pressure control or postoperative therapy intensification makes a difference. Tune in for practical, evidence-based takeaways to improve cardiac outcomes in your surgical patients.

In this episode, Dr. Hadzic discusses the main findings from a new study from the British Journal of Anaesthesia (2025). The study reported that 1 in 4 children having noncardiac surgery has preoperative anemia, and that both anemia and transfusion independently, and especially together, increase 30-day mortality and complications. Despite strong global guidelines for blood management and anesthesia care in adults, pediatric blood management remains under-implemented. Learn how this data can transform your pre-op protocols, and what steps you can take right now to improve pediatric surgical outcomes.

In this episode of Updates in Anesthesiology, Dr. Hadzic reviews a double-blind RCT from Anesthesia & Analgesia (March 2025) led by Dr. Ajetunmobi and colleagues. The study compared sugammadex and neostigmine for neuromuscular blockade reversal in morbidly obese patients with OSA undergoing bariatric surgery. Despite sugammadex’s pharmacologic advantages, the study found no significant difference in OR discharge times between the agents. Join us as we analyze the data, explore potential explanations, and discuss the practical implications for your anesthesia practice.
