Happy Saturday!
With #ERAS #residency applications now open, let's look into what applicants need in order to Match.
Does #research experience matter for matching in anesthesiology? Access to research differs by medical school type and residency affiliation. 📊

In a new study, Hussain et al. assess the fragility of pain outcomes across randomized controlled trials investigating spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain to better understand the quality and robustness of evidence.

In an editorial accompanying new original research, Dr. Bhatia highlights the potential of the fragility index to add valuable information to randomized clinical trials and help understand their results.

New meta-analysis of 9,272 patients shows that peripheral nerve stimulation can provide large meaningful pain relief lasting up to 24 months. These findings support broader clinical adoption and payer coverage.

In a new article, Hussain et al. conducted a network meta-analysis evaluating the relative analgesic effectiveness of motor-sparing fascial plane blocks and periarticular local infiltration analgesia for adult patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty: ow.ly/mlA150WMoEz

Doesn’t necessarily sound like ‘AI is Slowing’ for Meta despite the misleading headline today; More so just seems like a case of price driving a narrative

This is invaluable early information demonstrating that temporary PNS (7-60 days) may not improve patient selection or long-term outcomes with permanent PNS.
From a resource allocation and cost-effectiveness standpoint, how will this novel information change your practice?
🔌 Trial or no trial?
New study in RAPM finds no clear advantage of temporary PNS trials vs direct-to-permanent implantation.
🧠 Similar pain relief
💊 Comparable opioid use

🧠 Are scoping reviews in neuromodulation falling short?
A new RAPM study found none of 7 reviews fully adhered to PRISMA-ScR.
⚠️ Protocols missing
⚠️ Methods vague
⚠️ Scoping ≠ narrative
Time to raise the bar.

“No benefit to adding Dexamethasone in perineural blocks”
✅ “Intravenous dose is good enough”
Keep your blocks simple
🚫No additives

A new randomized controlled trial explores whether combining systemic with perineural dexamethasone yields any additive or synergistic effect on the characteristics and analgesic effects of peripheral nerve blocks.

Which block for hip elective replacement ?
This new network Meta in @anesthesiology finds that periarticular infiltration alone provides the most consistent improvements in post-op rest pain, analgesic consumption, and functional recovery after THA.
