This study compared two types of nerve blocks (supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block and lumbar erector spinae plane block) for pain relief in 84 adults undergoing hip fracture surgery. The goal was to see which block works better for positioning the patient for spinal anesthesia an…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks—recto-intercostal and external oblique intercostal—for pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Sixty adults having elective surgery received one of the two blocks. Researchers measured how much extra painkiller they needed…

This study tested a non-invasive treatment called shock wave therapy on 21 stroke survivors with arm stiffness. The therapy uses sound waves to relax tight muscles. Participants received 8 sessions over 4 weeks, and researchers checked for improvements in stiffness, pain, and dai…

This study tested two methods of delivering a pain-blocking injection (TAP block) after laparoscopic upper abdominal surgery: one guided by ultrasound and the other by the surgical camera. Sixty adults aged 18-70 took part, and researchers measured their pain levels and need for …

This study looked at 78 women aged 45 and older having hysterectomy surgery lasting over 2 hours. Researchers used lung ultrasound to see if different breathing machine settings during surgery affected lung collapse (atelectasis) after the operation. The goal was to find which ve…

This study used bedside ultrasound to measure how fast the stomach empties in 60 mechanically ventilated ICU patients receiving different types of tube feeding. The goal was to see if ultrasound can help guide feeding decisions. The study was observational, meaning no new treatme…

This study compared two ultrasound-based methods—USCOM and echocardiography—for measuring heart function in 57 children aged 6 months to 15 years during general anesthesia. The goal was to see if the simpler USCOM device could reliably replace standard echocardiography. Researche…
