At NYSORA centers, every EZCOVER® comes with a “STOP” sticker - removed just before scanning.

This small step prompts a big habit:

- Confirm patient identity
- Confirm procedure type
- Confirm correct site and side

A brief pause that helps prevent wrong-site blocks.

EZCOVER® – Make it a habit. Make it safer.

Trigeminal neuralgia relief, without the burn

Pulsed radiofrequency of the gasserian ganglion is emerging as a safer, effective option for patients suffering from this notoriously debilitating condition.

Known as the “suicide disease”, trigeminal neuralgia causes sudden, electric-shock-like facial pain that often resists medication.

Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF):

- Minimally invasive
- Neuromodulatory, not destructive
- Repeatable & outpatient-friendly
- Minimal risk of facial numbness or motor dysfunction

The 2025 PROGRESS Study shows:

- 61% of patients had ≥50% pain relief at 6 weeks
- Average pain score dropped from 8.5 → 4.4
- Relief lasted up to 4 years in some patients
- Especially promising in elderly & MS patients

A 65-year-old ICU patient is fluid overloaded after aggressive resuscitation. The team starts furosemide, but diuresis is poor. Should they switch to another strategy, or combine drugs?

Diuretics are a mainstay in critical care, but choosing the right one isn’t straightforward.

The narrative review by Coppola et al. 2025, published in BJA, explores:

- How diuretics work across the nephron
- When to use loops, thiazides, CA inhibitors, or SGLT-2 blockers
- Why resistance occurs—and how to overcome it
- Their impact on acid-base balance

A practical, physiology-informed guide to diuretic use in the ICU.

What really happens beneath the surface during a nerve block?

NYSORA’s proprietary Reverse Ultrasound Anatomy (RUA) Animations break down each step—layer by layer—to make regional anesthesia more intuitive and teachable.

In this example of the superficial peroneal nerve block, RUA visualizes:

- Needle trajectory
- Interaction with tissue planes and sheaths
- Local anesthetic spread

By bringing these key elements to life, NYSORA’s RUA technology supports faster learning and more consistent clinical performance.

Join 15,000 of your colleagues and download the NYSORA Nerve Blocks App and access the industry-standard, richly visual instructions to all nerve blocks!

Here is what Bram Keunen, an anesthesiologist, thinks of our Anesthesia Manual App — and how it helps him stay prepared for complex cases.

Check out what NYSORA’s MAIA recommends for patients on DOACs undergoing inguinal hernia repair.

- Neuraxial anesthesia: Discontinue apixaban at least 72 hours prior to surgery.
- General anesthesia: Stopping apixaban 24–48 hours before surgery is generally acceptable.
- Bleeding risk: Inguinal hernia repair is considered a low bleeding risk procedure.
- Resumption: Restart apixaban 24–48 hours postoperatively, once adequate hemostasis is confirmed.

With NYSORA’s Anesthesia Manual App feature – Case Manager, you can simulate similar cases, review expert-backed strategies, and prep with confidence — anytime, anywhere!
