💉 Intrathecal morphine & pulmonary safety. Meta-analysis (127 RCTs, 7,388 pts):.✅ No ↑ in sedation or hypoxaemia.⚠️ Possible ↑ resp. depression — only at doses >500 μg (rare today).📉 No ↑ O₂, or escalated care.Backed by @ESRA_Society.🔗

🎉 Excited to announce that Dr. Corey Kull and I received an @ESRA_Society research grant for our study comparing pericapsular nerve block vs. intrathecal morphine after hip arthroplasty! 🏥 Research ongoing at URCA, Anaesthesia Dept, @CHUVLausanne. Thanks @ESRA_Society!

What do you want to know?.

🚨 New publication in @BJAJournal!.We studied the impact of local anaesthetic volume in extrafascial interscalene brachial plexus blocks. 🔹 10 ml vs 20 ml ropivacaine.🔹 📉 Diaphragmatic paralysis: 80% → 19%.🔹 ⏱️ Shorter analgesia, ↑ morphine use. 🔗

🆕 Editorial out now in Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica!.With Dr Maagaard & Prof Mathiesen, we explore how to prolong peripheral nerve blocks. Open access 👉 #Anesthesia #RegionalAnesthesia #PainManagement #MedTwitter

SRMA: Neuraxial hydromorphone modestly reduces postoperative pain scores (MD -0.4) without increasing nausea/vomiting but triples pruritus risk (RR 3.1). Evidence quality is very low, with more studies needed to confirm findings. #Analgesia #Anesthesia #Research"

Another SRMA (168 studies, 9917 patients). Intrathecal morphine increases PONV (OR 1.52), pruritus (OR 6.11), and urinary retention (OR 1.73), regardless of dose. Evidence quality is low. #Analgesia #Anaesthesia #Research @BJAJournals @elboghdadly

New meta-analysis: Perineural dexamethasone slightly extends analgesia duration after peripheral nerve block in lower limb surgery compared to IV (22h vs 20h). Statistically significant, but clinically limited impact. Please stick with the iv route. #Analgesia #Research #EJA2024

Check out our latest publication on sleep apnoea severity: In brief, spinal anaesthesia compared with general anaesthesia was not associated with a reduction in postoperative sleep apnoea severity, which was worse on the third postoperative night.

A continuous infusion for an interscalene plexus block does not provide superior analgesia after major shoulder surgery when compared with a single injection with multimodal analgesia. Check out our last article (open access:  ! Congrats on the team!

After medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOW HTO) under GA with MMA, both femoral and sciatic nerve blocks provide analgesia. Proud to publish our last RCT performed at the Lausanne University Hospital Thx to the whole team for the great work.
