Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyParental Psychosocial Factors Moderate Opioid Administration Following Children's Surgery.
This investigation aimed to examine the impact of parental psychosocial variables on the administration of opioids to young children experiencing postoperative pain. ⋯ These results suggest the need to identify parents who experience high levels of perceived stress and trait anxiety and use appropriate interventions to manage stress and anxiety. This may ensure children receive optimal amounts of pain medication following surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyPhrenic Nerve Block at the Azygos Vein Level Versus Sham Block for Ipsilateral Shoulder Pain After Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Ipsilateral shoulder pain (ISP) is a common problem after pulmonary surgery. We hypothesized that phrenic nerve block (PNB) at the azygos vein level, near the location of the surgical operation, would be effective for reducing ISP. Our primary aim was to assess the effect of PNB on postoperative ISP, following video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). ⋯ Azygos vein level PNB did not significantly affect the incidence of ISP after VATS.
