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.

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)

Now it makes sense why our institutional infusions use ropivacaine 0.2% (as opposed to any higher)! #nowiknow

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.
