Traditionally, laparoscopic procedures were carried out under General Anesthesia due to the pulmonary functions’ changes occurred as a result of pneumoperitoneum, which is a crucial step of laparoscopy and GA can achieve accurate control of ventilation. However, the use of Local Anesthesia associated with conscious sedation has been emerged recentl...
This review article appraises the potentials of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) knowledge as a useful non-invasive tool in obstetric anesthetic management especially in emergent and difficult situations.
Background: The external oblique intercostal block (EOIB) was designed to provide upper median and lateral abdominal wall analgesia. Its efficacy was mainly explored in case reports and retrospective studies. Our study aimed to prospectively assess EOIB efficacy in open supraumbilical procedures compared to subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TA...
Background: Different adjuvants have been introduced to enhance the quality of local anesthetics and reduce its adverse events. This study was directed to compare the anesthetic and analgesic properties of intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine when three different adjuvant drugs were added.
Methodology: One hundred full-term parturients aged 18 to 40...
Background
To alleviate pain related to hip surgeries, pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) is introduced as an innovative approach aims to improve analgesia without interfering with muscle motor activity. In this study, we compared the effectiveness and safety of PENG block to fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) for managing acute pain related...

Background and Aims: Acute pain management in drug addicts is a critical yet understudied topic. Drug addicts have a decreased pain threshold, impairing anaesthetic pain control. This study aimed to evaluate the postoperative quality of recovery in addicts and non-addicts after receiving erector spinae plane block (ESPB) with general anaesthesia.

Background
In patients undergoing cardiac operations, parasternal intercostal nerve block (PSIB) has been suggested to enhance pain management and lower opioids consumption. However, inadequate literature has discussed its effectiveness as
a pre-emptive analgesic approach. This trial was designed to investigate the optimal timing to perform the blo...
Background
Hypotension is often occurring after induction of general anesthesia (IGA) and can cause organ hypoperfusion and ischemia which associated with adverse outcomes in patients having both cardiac and non-cardiac surgery. Elderly patients are particularly more vulnerable and at increased risk to the depressant effect of anesthetic drugs. So,...
Background
A frequently used anxiolytic, midazolam, has recently been recognized for its antiemetic activity during the perioperative period. This study sought to investigate the best time to provide midazolam in order to decrease the frequency of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) without increasing the risk of sedation.
Methods
A total of...
Background
Both intraoperative esmolol and transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block facilitate postoperative analgesia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy as part of multimodal analgesia. Both strategies can minimize the use of postoperative opioids. In current study, our goal was to assess if intra-operative esmolol infusion in association with TAP...
Background: There are some advantages and drawbacks of both spinal (SA) and general anaesthesia (GA) used for caesarean section (CS) and there is no fully perfect process. Although GA is still the first choice for category‑1 emergency CS because of time constraints, but this technique poses several problems. This study was planned to compare matern...
Background Women undergoing mastectomy surgery often experience severe postoperative pain and may develop into chronic pain.
Objective The current study compared the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) with thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) for controlling acute postmastectomy pain.
Patients and methods T...
