April issue of @RAPMOnline coming soon. An incredible lineup of articles and, yes, the cover is kind of a big deal. Curious what everyone thinks. @ASRA_Society @ESRA_Society #pain #obesity rapm.bmj.com/content/early/2…

The January @RAPMOnline will be provocative! • Buprenorphine as a front-line analgesic for acute pain • A revealing patient survey on spinal cord stimulation • Intrathecal morphine vs QL block for C-section • New insight into nerve block failure @ASRA_Society @ESRA_Society

Our awesome Acute Pain Nurses @DartmouthAnesth keep a list of all the bad things epidural cause according to the medical record. This is now updated. Have fun with this one! @RAPMOnline @ASRA_Society @ESRA_Society #epidural @EMARIANOMD

Outcomes of amputation in patients with complex regional pain syndrome @RAPMOnline will allows push the frontiers of pain medicine. CRPS remains a massive challenge and heroic measures are sometimes needed. @ESRA_Society @ASRA_Society #ChronicPain rapm.bmj.com/content/early/2…

It’s 2025. We know the power of advanced pain medicine—from pharmaceuticals to regional anesthesia. Yet many hospitals still lack an ACUTE PAIN SERVICE. Healthcare is 17.6% of GDP. Money isn't the issue. Patients suffer. This must change. #MedTwitter @ASRA_Society @ASAMonitor

Is your health system using low dose buprenorphine to treat acute #pain for routine surgeries? @RAPMOnline would love to hear your experience via a Letter to the Editor! This drug is conceptually VERY strategic for routine use. @ASRA_Society @ESRA_Society #buprenorphine #surgery

Do you believe that someday we will be able to prevent transitional pain (Acute to Chronic)? I do! @RAPMOnline with guest Editor @ESchwenkMD has released a Special Edition! @ASRA_Society @ASAMonitor #pain @ESRA_Society rapm.bmj.com/content/50/2?cu…

This is a big story- Huge negative RCT across all outcomes. Our strategy @DartmouthHealth is to target nociplastic and neuropathic pain with lidocaine, not standard nociceptive pain. @RAPMOnline @ASRA_Society @ASAMonitor #lidocaine @ESchwenkMD jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

The obturator nerve is like the cool uncle or aunt who only rarely shows up at the family Christmas gathering. We all want to see more of them! Here is a new technique @ASRA_Society @RAPMOnline @ESRA_Society #obturatornerve #ASRAFALL24 rapm.bmj.com/content/early/2…

Fantastic meeting! ⁦@ESRA_Society⁩ always delivers high quality education that matters. ⁦@mherr65486⁩ giving bonus info about thoracic anesthesia #ESRA2024 ⁦@RAPMOnline⁩ ⁦@ASRA_Society⁩

#cryoablation of intercostal nerves for thoracic surgery analgesia is trending. Data is scarce and the delayed effect of cryoablation is concerning. Will this be a future standard or a swing and miss? @ASRA_Society @ESRA_Society @ASALifeline @NarouzeMD @EMARIANOMD #esra2024

Chronic #pain is scary and is associated with a higher likelihood of preventable cardiometoblic disease. A recent publication in @RAPMOnline highlights this. We urgently need new therapies and risk mitigation! @ASRA_Society @ESRA_Society rapm.bmj.com/content/early/2…

I find Prospect Guidelines very helpful for front line clinical decision making! Thank you @ESRA_Society !

I can’t wait!

We are live! Get your creative interests flowing! Pain Palette is now accepting medical humanities submissions. @ASRA_Society @ESRA_Society #art @RAPMOnline @RegionalAnaesUK @DartmouthHealth #pain @ASALifeline rapm.bmj.com/pages/authors#p…

Let’s go! ⁦@RAPMOnline⁩ #asraspring24

Does thoracic #epidural (opioid+local) analgesia contribute to urinary retention? @RAPMOnline will soon be answering this! What do you think? @aboezaart1 @ESchwenkMD @ESRA_Society @ASRA_Society @EMARIANOMD @NarouzeMD
