For more than two decades, 15 PSI has been treated as a key safety threshold for injection pressure during peripheral nerve blocks, but the evidence suggests it is more complicated than a single number. In this episode, we discuss a 2026 Journal of Clinical Anesthesia systematic review by De Cassai and colleagues, which analyzed 28 experimental studies on injection pressure and nerve injury. We look at how tissue compliance, needle design, and injection speed influence pressure readings, why opening injection pressure matters more than peak pressure, and whether pressure-time curves could shape the future of injection safety.

Rapid sequence induction is one of the most familiar techniques in anesthesia, but what clinicians actually do during RSI is changing. In this episode, we discuss a 2026 Anesthesiology study by Marcus and colleagues examining more than 9,000 RSI cases across 13 U.S. hospitals. The study discusses changing patterns in neuromuscular blockade, induction agents, cricoid pressure, videolaryngoscopy, and the clinical outcomes associated with rocuronium versus succinylcholine.Read more about the study HERE.Follow the NYSORA Podcast on Spotify so you never miss an episode.======================================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.

In this episode, we discuss the ASRA Pain Medicine narrative review and expert practice recommendations by Haskins and colleagues examining gastric point-of-care ultrasound in medically complex patients.
