Randomized Controlled Trial
Evaluation of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block for postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a commonly performed minimally invasive procedure that has led to a decrease in procedure-related mortality and morbidity. However, LC requires analgesia that blocks both visceral and somatic nerve fibers. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) for postoperative analgesia management in LC. ⋯ Bilateral ultrasound guided ESPB leads to effective analgesia and a decrease in analgesia requirement in first 12 h in patients undergoing LC.

Preoperative oral rehydration solutions (ORS) are frequently used in clinical practice in Japan, although their effect remains to be explained. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes associated with ORS usage. ⋯ Our systematic review indicates that oral rehydration therapy does not increase the risk of aspiration or vomiting. In contrast, it may help stabilize circulatory dynamics during anesthesia induction.
