An excellent summary article on evidence that exists for the various types of plane blocks rapm.bmj.com/content/rapm/4… @UPMCAnesRes

Take 2. Excellent article from RAPM on anatomy of truncal plane blocks. rapm.bmj.com/content/46/7/5… @UPMCAnesRes

This article from RAPM last summer provides a tour-de-force in the anatomy for truncal plane blocks. Great diagrams, too. Anatomical basis of fascial plane blocks | Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine (bmj.com) @UPMCAnesRes

This interesting RCT from Anesthesiology makes a fairly strong case for reduced postop delirium in elderly patient undergoing surgery with epidural versus IV opioid analgesia. @UPMCAnesRes ovidsp.dc2.ovid.com/ovid-a/ovidweb…

This article from Anesthesiology this month shows the potential of peripheral nerve stimulation for postop pain control. This is likely the future of regional anesthesia. @UPMCAnesRes ovidsp.dc1.ovid.com/ovid-a/ovidweb…

This recent article from Anesthesiology shows that posterior QL block doesn't help for THA; further refining what works and what doesn't. @UPMCAnesRes pubs.asahq.org/anesthesiology…

Another article evaluating the utility of QL block in hip arthroplasty. @UPMCAnesRes Ovid: Posterior Quadratus Lumborum Block in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

This article from our AIPPS group at Shadyside underscores the utility of transmuscular QL block in THA. @UPMCAnesRes dx.doi.org/10.1136/rapm-2…

Sorry-forgot the link. This Anesthesiology article shows how closely postop pain is related to personal characteristics, as opposed to surgical type or even use of regional blocks. pubs.asahq.org/anesthesiology… @UPMCAnesRes

Check out this headline article in Anesthesiology this month. Pain trajectories related more to patient characteristics than surgery type or use of regional. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000003681 @UPMCAnesRes

These two articles provide support for use of the iPACK block to address posterior knee pain in TKA, in addition to adductor canal block (and also, in one article local infiltration by surgeon) dx.doi.org/10.1136/rapm-2… @UPMCAnesRes

Cryoneurolysis and Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation to Treat Acute Pain | Anesthesiology | American Society of Anesthesiologists A fascinating article. The future of regional anesthesia? pubs.asahq.org/anesthesiology… @UPMCAnesRes

Regional anesthesia man had a tough year last year, but now he’s back and ready to take on pain and opioid use. ⁦@UPMCAnesRes⁩

Fascinating article. May be the future of regional anesthesia? Ilfeld. B. Cryoneurolysis and percutaneous PNS for acute pain. Anesthesiology 2020;113:1127-49
