This article is spot on. We probably do some of our patients a disservice chasing unrealistic goals. We need to formally consider real world trajectories for each patient rather than apply a one sizes fits all philosophy, and tailor the anaesthetic plan accordingly.

@casualtysrus Yes it superb video and we have already been involved with @AlwinChuan in his research looking at: Using Virtual Reality to teach ultrasound-guided needling skills for regional anaesthesia. https://t.co/rsNhkvJ3Y7

And I think most importantly, the Bayesian framework just makes more SENSE in my mind. The findings are WAY more intuitive!

No more need for alpha spending during interim analyses! Can stop for efficacy, futility, or harm early. Perfect for large planned trials that can be super expensive.

Non-informative or weakly informative priors, to me, makes Bayesian framework just as good as frequentists (ie. if you want your current study data to inform your conclusion maximally)

Interesting studyโ the recommended redosing of truncal cath (to avoid LAST) is quite a bit lower than I imagined (at 0.23 mg/kg/h). Good concept that redosing should be based on minimal elimination constant.
Our paper published in Anesthesiology is now available on ropivacaine and bupivacaine redosing. @mfettiplace @ESchwenkMD

Mg/kg doses were formulated for children and subsequently back applied to adults. @BrittaniBungart and I made dose recs for FPB in an earlier paper but broader recs are needed: https://t.co/LCHKpmUsLB
