Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparing adductor canal block with local infiltration analgesia in total knee arthroplasty: A prospective, blinded and randomized clinical trial.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with significant pain post-operatively. Our hypothesis is that adductor canal block (ACB) would be superior to local infiltration analgesia (LIA) in terms of providing analgesia, while still preserving quadriceps strength and enabling early postoperative rehabilitation. ⋯ ACB group had statistically significant reduced total Morphine consumption in the first 24 and 48 hours as compared to LIA group, with no statistically significant differences in functional outcomes of TKA patients.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Improving patient safety during procedural sedation via respiratory volume monitoring: A randomized controlled trial.
Assess the utility of a respiratory volume monitor (RVM) to reduce the incidence of low minute ventilation events in procedural sedation. ⋯ Patients in the Control group spent more than double the amount of time with Low MV compared to the RVM group. This difference became more pronounced when the anesthesiologist found the RVM useful for managing care, lending credibility to the usage of minute ventilation monitoring in procedural sedation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
The effect of spinal versus general anesthesia on intraocular pressure in lumbar disc surgery in the prone position: A randomized, controlled clinical trial.
To compare IOP changes between spinal anesthesia (SA) and general anesthesia (GA) in patients who underwent lumbar disc surgery in the prone position. ⋯ The results indicated that IOP increase is significantly less in patients who undergo lumbar disc surgery in the prone position under SA compared with GA.
