Review Meta Analysis
The analgetic effect of adjuvants in local infiltration analgesia - a systematic review with network meta-analysis of randomized trials.
Dexamethasone is the most effective adjuvant for prolonging local anaesthetic infiltration, likely superior to dexmedetomidine, clonidine, NSAIDs, opioids and magnesium.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Using Virtual Reality to teach ultrasound-guided needling skills for regional anaesthesia: A randomised controlled trial.
We previously designed and validated a virtual reality-based simulator to help train novices in ultrasound-guided needling skills necessary for safe and competent ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia. This study was designed to compare the performance and error rates of novices trained by a human faculty aided with the assistance of this virtual reality simulator (virtual reality-assisted training), versus novices trained wholly by humans (conventional training). ⋯ Novices trained using a hybrid, virtual reality-assisted teaching program showed no superiority to novices trained using a conventional teaching program, but with less burden on teaching resources.
