Opioid-Free Anesthesia: Better Recovery or Different Risks? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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.

Massive Transfusion, Massive Potassium: Preventing Hyperkalemia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Massive transfusion can save a life, but it can also deliver a dangerous potassium load. In this episode, we explore a 2026 Anesthesiology review by Zhou and colleagues on preventing and managing hyperkalemia during supramassive hemorrhage. We discuss stored blood, intraoperative red-cell washing, CRRT, and the limitations of conventional hyperkalemia treatment.

Video Laryngoscopy: The New Standard for Double-Lumen Tubes? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Double-lumen tube intubation is one of the most technically demanding airway procedures in anesthesia. In this episode, we discuss a large 916-patient multicenter randomized trial published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia comparing video laryngoscopy with direct laryngoscopy for double-lumen tube placement. We examine whether video laryngoscopy improves first-pass success, reduces airway trauma, and should become the default approach for thoracic anesthesia. Read more about the study HERE
Patient Blood Management: Evidence-Based or Guideline Chaos? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If patient blood management (PBM) is evidence-based, why are guidelines so different around the world? In this episode, we explore a 2026 systematic review published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia that analyzed 40 national and institutional PBM guidelines. Discover where global consensus exists, where recommendations diverge, and what these inconsistencies mean for anesthesiologists managing blood loss in the operating room.

The PENG Block Myth? New Anatomy, New Insights (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Does the PENG block really work the way we thought? Based on a landmark 2026 study in Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine , this episode explores new anatomical evidence suggesting the PENG block is predominantly an intramuscular block, not a true fascial plane block, and what that means for analgesia, femoral nerve involvement, and everyday clinical practice.
