This Month's Digest · 1 May 2026
May brings a strong month for regional anaesthesia, with the BJA publishing a multicentre RCT on erector spinae block efficacy that will reshape practice in thoracic surgery. Anaesthesiology leads with two important pieces on postoperative cognitive dysfunction — a timely review of pathophysiology and a prospective cohort study suggesting volatile agents carry higher risk than TIVA in the over-70s. Anesth Analg rounds out the month with a landmark meta-analysis on sugammadex versus neostigmine in residual neuromuscular blockade.
BJA Vol 132, Issue 5
