Modified versus traditional subcostal anterior quadratus lumborum block for postoperative analgesia after laparoscopic nephrectomy: a randomized-controlled study.
To examine the ramifications of both the modified and traditional subcostal anterior quadratus lumborum block (SQLB) on postoperative analgesia in individuals undergoing laparoscopic nephrectomy. ⋯ Ultrasound-guided modified SQLB confers significantly superior analgesic advantages over the traditional SQLB for patients undergoing laparoscopic nephrectomy, culminating in a marked reduction in postoperative opioid consumption and more efficacious pain management.

Prophylactic pharmacological interventions against perioperative respiratory adverse events in children undergoing noncardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Perioperative respiratory adverse event (PRAE) is one of the most common complications in pediatric anesthesia. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of perioperative pharmacological interventions to prevent the development of PRAE in children undergoing noncardiac surgery. ⋯ The meta-analysis demonstrated prophylactic potential of lidocaine, dexmedetomidine, β2-adrenoreceptor agonists and propofol induction technique against PRAE, but it should be interpreted cautiously due to inconsistent PRAE definition and correlation of subtypes within the composite outcome.
