In this episode of Updates in Anesthesiology, Dr. Hadzic unpacks the FRAIL-HIP study published in JAMA Surgery, which challenges the routine use of surgery for proximal femoral fractures in frail, institutionalized older adults. You'll hear how nonoperative management, guided by a structured shared decision-making process, can lead to comparable quality of life, fewer adverse events, and even a more dignified dying experience. Tune in to discover how this paradigm shift could reshape your approach to surgical decisions in end-of-life care.

In this episode of Updates in Anesthesiology, Dr. Hadzic breaks down the latest evidence comparing ketamine, etomidate, and propofol for tracheal intubation in critically ill patients. Drawing from a 2025 review in Critical Care Medicine, we explore why ketamine is emerging as the safest and most reliable option, while etomidate shows a potential mortality risk, and propofol continues to raise red flags for cardiovascular instability. Get the evidence, the implications, and the practical takeaways, all in one focused episode.

In this episode of Updates in Anesthesiology, Dr. Hadzic explores groundbreaking findings from Chotinaruemol and colleagues, published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia (2025), revealing how dexmedetomidine may do more than sedate. It could protect the kidneys from ischemia-reperfusion injury. From cellular survival pathways to improved surgical outcomes, we break down how DEX works, when it works best, and what this could mean for high-risk surgical patients. Stay tuned for actionable insights you can take straight to the OR.
