A new article investigates the analgesic effectiveness of liposomal bupivacaine vs. plain local anesthetics for abdominal fascial plane blocks. Be sure to also read the accompanying editorials and listen to the podcast discussion online: ow.ly/Ueq750Ros9E

Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine sends a huge congrats to Eric Schwenk, M.D., FASA and colleagues Jefferson Anesthesia for examining the IV vs. PO acetaminophen debate! Awesome RCT! Yet another example of #anesthesiologists taking the lead on #VALUE ASRA Pain Medicine ESRA | European Society of Regional Anaesthesia rapm.bmj.com/content/early/…

➡️What are the ethics of injecting saline in regional anaesthesia trials?

➡️If you use NSAIDs & avoid mobilising wouldn't patients have lower baseline pain anyway?

➡️How safe is using a fixed dose of local anaesthetic?

Asking the big questions!👇

👀Michael Fettiplace, MD PhD provides some sobering data on LAST and argues for weight-based (IBW or LBW) dosing, which is not universally followed. Avoids giving insane doses to morbidly obese pts. We changed our practice at Jefferson Anesthesia and less may be more. ASRA Pain Medicine #ASRASPRING24

This is an awesome effort that will save lives 👏.

The local anesthetic systemic toxicity ( #LAST ) recommendations are clear and concise, incorporating the most recent ASRA Pain Medicine updates (rapm.bmj.com/content/46/1/81) on treatment of toxicity.

In 134 poisoned patients treated with intravenous lipid emulsion, lipophilicity was not correlated with survival or observed changes in blood pressure

Yo, it’s the 3rd day of #Blocktober23 and I wanna talk about fat. Specifically the kind that saves lives during LAST. In my view, lipid emulsion is one of the most significant advances in acute care medicine in the last 20 years. (Yes, that's lipid latte art...delicious & safe)

Incredibly important #Editorial by Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine Editor-in-Chief, Brian D. Sites, M.D., M.S., on why publishing high-quality research, regardless of the outcome, makes us all better #clinicianscientists & #RAAPM practitioners. Thank you for your #leadership !
