Stellate Ganglion Block: New Hype, Evidence, and Real-World Expectations

In this episode of NYSORA Updates in Anesthesiology, Dr. Hadzic reveals why the stellate ganglion block (SGB) has re-emerged as a hot topic in perioperative medicine. Drawing on a landmark 2025 narrative review from MD Anderson published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia, we explore what SGB can—and cannot—realistically offer today. From arrhythmia control and postoperative recovery to immune modulation and risk considerations, this episode delivers a balanced, evidence-based perspective to help anesthesiologists decide when SGB truly belongs in modern practice.Where else to find us: Web- ⁠⁠http://www.nysora.com⁠⁠ Instagram- ⁠⁠instagram.com/nysora.inc/ ⁠⁠LinkedIN- ⁠⁠linkedin.com/company/nysora-inc/⁠⁠ Facebook- ⁠⁠facebook.com/nysora⁠⁠ Twitter- ⁠⁠x.com/nysora⁠⁠ TikTok- ⁠⁠tiktok.com/@nysora_inc⁠⁠ --------------------------------------------------------- ⁠⁠#nysora⁠⁠ ⁠⁠#regionalanesthesia⁠⁠ ⁠⁠#anesthesia⁠⁠Disclaimer: Medicine is an ever-changing science.
