About this episode

The episode discusses the potential cardioprotective effects of peripheral nerve blocks following hip fracture surgery based on a recent study.

A 2026 Anesthesiology study suggests that peripheral nerve blocks may reduce myocardial injury after hip fracture surgery. Is this real cardioprotection or just good pain control? We discuss the data, the physiology, and where to be cautious.
