REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA

This study looked at three ways to control pain after major lung surgery done with a camera (VATS). It compared a newer nerve block called erector spinae plane block (ESPB) with two older methods: spinal morphine and intercostal nerve block. The goal was to see which method worke…

This study tested two ways to manage pain after total hip replacement: a new ultrasound-guided nerve block (QLESP) versus standard local anesthetic injections around the joint (PAI). 68 adults aged 18-65 took part. The goal was to see which method reduces the need for opioid pain…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks (PENG block and QL block) to see which provides better pain relief when positioning patients with broken hips for spinal anesthesia. 42 adults were randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocks. The goal was to reduce pain during…

This study tested two methods of giving a TAP block, a type of pain relief for abdominal surgery. One method used ultrasound guidance by an anesthesiologist, the other used laparoscopic landmarks by a surgeon. The goal was to see if they provide similar pain control and how long …

This study observed 318 adults having leg surgery to find out what factors help make spinal anesthesia work only on the surgical side. The goal is to reduce side effects like low blood pressure. Researchers looked at patient age, weight, position, and injection technique to impro…

This study looked at how well pain is managed in children right after surgery. Researchers watched 219 kids aged 0-18 and used special pain scales to check if their pain was under control. The goal was to see how often standard treatments work and when extra help is needed.

This study looked at two types of numbing medicine (spinal anesthesia vs. a nerve block) for a common varicose vein procedure called radiofrequency ablation. Researchers wanted to see which method helped 40 adults recover better in the first 24 hours. They measured recovery quali…
