In this episode of Updates in Anesthesiology, Dr. Hadzic explores groundbreaking findings from a 2024 study by Dr. Angela Lucia Balocco and colleagues, published in Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine. Using 3D CT imaging, the study investigates how the injectate of the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block actually spreads in live patients undergoing hip surgery. The findings challenge prior cadaver-based assumptions, revealing a predominant focus on femoral nerve branches within the iliopsoas muscle rather than the obturator nerve or hip capsule.
We discuss what this means for technique, patient outcomes, and the broader implications for motor-sparing analgesia. Plus, hear why The NYSORA Anesthesia Updates Book is your go-to resource for staying at the forefront of anesthesiology. Don’t miss this concise, data-driven guide to improving your practice!
