• Can AI Say “I Don’t Know”? 01.06.2026 10min

  In this episode, we explore a 2026 New England Journal of Medicine article that asks a deceptively simple question: Can AI say "I don't know"? From the Hippocratic oath to the “Pikachu problem”, we examine why calibrated uncertainty is a safety mechanism, not a weakness, and what clinicians should demand from AI tools at the point of care.======================================Where else to find us: Web - ⁠⁠⁠https://www.nysora.com/⁠⁠⁠Instagram - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/nysora.inc/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/company/nysora-inc/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/nysora⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠x.com/nysora⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@nysora_inc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --------------------------------------------------------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#nysora⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#regionalanesthesia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#anesthesia⁠⁠Disclaimer: Medicine is an ever-changing science.

• Rethinking Maternal Cardiac Arrest: Beyond the ACLS Algorithm 18.05.2026 13min

  Why would amniotic fluid embolism achieve higher ROSC rates than hemorrhage in maternal cardiac arrest? In this episode, we discuss the main findings from a landmark 2026 Anesthesiology study analyzing nearly 780,000 delivery hospitalizations and uncover what really drives survival in peripartum cardiac arrest.

  In this episode of NYSORA Updates in Anesthesiology, Dr. Hadzic reveals why the stellate ganglion block (SGB) has re-emerged as a hot topic in perioperative medicine. Drawing on a landmark 2025 narrative review from MD Anderson published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia, we explore what SGB can—and cannot—realistically offer today. From arrhythmia control and postoperative recovery to immune modulation and risk considerations, this episode delivers a balanced, evidence-based perspective to help anesthesiologists decide when SGB truly belongs in modern practice.Where else to find us: Web- ⁠⁠http://www.nysora.com⁠⁠ Instagram- ⁠⁠instagram.com/nysora.inc/ ⁠⁠LinkedIN- ⁠⁠linkedin.com/company/nysora-inc/⁠⁠ Facebook- ⁠⁠facebook.com/nysora⁠⁠ Twitter- ⁠⁠x.com/nysora⁠⁠ TikTok- ⁠⁠tiktok.com/@nysora_inc⁠⁠ --------------------------------------------------------- ⁠⁠#nysora⁠⁠ ⁠⁠#regionalanesthesia⁠⁠ ⁠⁠#anesthesia⁠⁠Disclaimer: Medicine is an ever-changing science.

• Fascial Plane Blocks Are No Longer Optional 29.12.2025 5min

  In this episode, we review the 2026 American Society of Anesthesiologists Practice Guideline on perioperative pain management using local and regional analgesia, based on evidence from more than 600 randomized trials. The guideline delivers a clear message: fascial plane blocks are a core component of modern multimodal analgesia, not an optional add-on. We discuss where the evidence is strongest, including open and minimally invasive abdominal surgery, mastectomy, cardiothoracic procedures, and pediatric surgery, and how these techniques consistently reduce opioid use, improve pain control, and enhance quality of recovery. Where else to find us: Web- ⁠⁠http://www.nysora.com⁠⁠ Instagram- ⁠⁠instagram.com/nysora.inc/ ⁠⁠LinkedIN- ⁠⁠linkedin.com/company/nysora-inc/⁠⁠ Facebook- ⁠⁠facebook.com/nysora⁠⁠ Twitter- ⁠⁠x.com/nysora⁠⁠ TikTok- ⁠⁠tiktok.com/@nysora_inc⁠⁠ --------------------------------------------------------- ⁠⁠#nysora⁠⁠ ⁠⁠#regionalanesthesia⁠⁠ ⁠⁠#anesthesia⁠⁠Disclaimer: Medicine is an ever-changing science.

• The Power of Anterior QLB 22.12.2025 6min

  In this episode, we’re discussing a 2025 randomized controlled trial by Turunc and colleagues published in Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine. The study asks a practical, ERAS-focused question: Does adding a bilateral anterior subcostal quadratus lumborum block actually improve analgesia in laparoscopic colorectal surgery? And more importantly, does it meaningfully reduce opioids?Where else to find us: Web- ⁠⁠http://www.nysora.com⁠⁠ Instagram- ⁠⁠instagram.com/nysora.inc/ ⁠⁠LinkedIN- ⁠⁠linkedin.com/company/nysora-inc/⁠⁠ Facebook- ⁠⁠facebook.com/nysora⁠⁠ Twitter- ⁠⁠x.com/nysora⁠⁠ TikTok- ⁠⁠tiktok.com/@nysora_inc⁠⁠ --------------------------------------------------------- ⁠⁠#nysora⁠⁠ ⁠⁠#regionalanesthesia⁠⁠ ⁠⁠#anesthesia⁠⁠Disclaimer: Medicine is an ever-changing science.
