Anesthesia Updates

In this episode of Updates in Anesthesiology, Dr. Hadzic discusses the main findings from a 2025 BJA review by Tinsley et al. The study reported how to manage non-insulin diabetes medicines in the perioperative period safely. From metformin’s misunderstood safety profile to the hidden risks of SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists, you’ll learn which drugs to hold, which to continue, and how to prevent complications like euglycaemic DKA and aspiration.

A 2025 Anesthesiology meta-analysis shows that the best pain control after total hip arthroplasty comes from combining regional anesthesia with local infiltration analgesia (LIA). While LIA alone is effective, adding a quadratus lumborum or pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block significantly improves pain relief, reduces opioid use, and preserves mobility. The takeaway: stop choosing between techniques — regional + local is the new gold standard for hip surgery analgesia.

In this episode of Updates in Anesthesiology, Dr. Hadzic delves into a 2025 study, which analyzed over 53,000 surgical cases. The key finding? Neuromuscular blockers increase the risk of postoperative delirium in older adults, unless they’re properly reversed. Whether you use sugammadex or neostigmine, reversal agents significantly reduce this risk. Tune in to hear what this means for your clinical practice and how small changes in perioperative management can make a significant impact on cognitive outcomes.

In this episode, Dr. Hadzic discusses the main findings from a new study from the British Journal of Anaesthesia (2025). The study reported that 1 in 4 children having noncardiac surgery has preoperative anemia, and that both anemia and transfusion independently, and especially together, increase 30-day mortality and complications. Despite strong global guidelines for blood management and anesthesia care in adults, pediatric blood management remains under-implemented. Learn how this data can transform your pre-op protocols, and what steps you can take right now to improve pediatric surgical outcomes.

In this episode of Updates in Anesthesiology, Dr. Hadzic reviews the newly published 2025 international clinical practice guidelines on platelet transfusion, co-led by Dr. Ryan Metcalf from the University of Utah and Dr. Simon Stanworth from Oxford, and published in JAMA. Based on evidence from over 30 studies, these guidelines recommend restrictive platelet transfusion thresholds in both adult and pediatric populations, advocating for transfusions only when platelet counts are critically low in specific scenarios. The goal? Minimize unnecessary transfusions, reduce patient harm, and conserve resources without increasing bleeding or mortality.

Performing regional anesthesia (RA) in patients on antithrombotic therapy poses a significant challenge due to the increased risk of bleeding complications, including spinal or epidural hematomas. Neuraxial and deep peripheral nerve blocks can lead to catastrophic consequences if performed without appropriate timing and management of anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications.
