Honoured to share I’ve received the Clinical Teacher Award at the 2026 Canadian Anesthesiologists’ Society Annual Meeting.
Grateful for the recognition. Thank you to @casupdate and all who supported me.

"If the mind doesn't know, the eyes do not see."
—Dr. Bernhard Moriggl
Teaching the nuances of anatomy/sonoanatomy/microanatomy are just as important as hand/eye coordination and needling skills.

📖 Our new editorial in @Anaes_Journal: “The Quest to Prevent Rebound Pain: Clarity or Uncertainty?” 😖
🎯 Key message: preventing rebound pain may depend less on finding the single “best” intervention and more on delivering consistent multimodal analgesia

I’ve been wondering where everyone went because academic Twitter is so dead. It seems like everyone migrated to LinkedIn. That was unexpected but thank God I can see the new and exciting things my colleagues are doing again.

Sciatic nerve blockade in the supine position is highly effective for trauma patients and others unable to tolerate leg repositioning.
This video reviews lateral and anteromedial approaches to expand your regional anesthesia toolbox 💉🛠️

Exciting
Promising new device delivers dual modes of analgesia:
1️⃣ Local anesthetic delivery
2️⃣ #Neuromodulation
✅ Avoids prolonged motor block
✅ Decreases opioid requirement

Has anyone tried hypobaric bupivacaine previous for spinal anesthesia? If so, what were the circumstances and how did it go?

When people perform the STELLATE GANGLION block, do you try to avoid phrenic nerve injury, if your needle courses superficial to C5 or penetrates prevertebral fascia via ant. scalene?
Is Horner's reliable in detecting Stellate Ganglion block? (Not just sympathetic trunk block)?

Great learning regional anesthesia at the IARS!!
1) QLB (spread up to T7 via thoracolumbar fascia near QLM insertion)
2) lateral femoral cutaneous n. (just lateral to sartorius near ing canal)
3) DPIP
4) Stellate ganglion (avoiding vagus nerve)
5) Posterior femoral cut nerve

Congratulations to Dr. Cozma on presenting her PhD research at the 19th World Congress of Anesthesiologists (Marrakech, April 15–18, 2026).
Her work on serum-based detection of malignant hyperthermia moves us closer to simpler, less invasive preoperative testing.

A widely used knee surgery may not just be ineffective — it may cause harm.
10-year results from the FIDELITY trial, now in @NEJM.
