Meta AnalysisThe effectiveness of scalp nerve block on hemodynamic response in craniotomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials.
Strategies that blunt noxious stimuli and stabilize hemodynamics may reduce perioperative cardiovascular complications and enhance recovery after craniotomy. ⋯ SNB alleviated the craniotomy-associated hemodynamic response. SNB may be superior to scalp infiltration in maintaining hemodynamic stability during pin insertion. However, high-quality trials are still needed to provide more conclusive evidence.

Meta AnalysisUsefulness of Analgesia Nociception Index for guiding intraoperative opioid administration: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
This study primarily aimed at investigating the efficacy of Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) for guiding intraoperative opioid administration in patients receiving surgery under general anesthesia. ⋯ Analgesia nociception index-guided analgesia was unable to reduce intraoperative opioid administration compared to monitoring using conventional clinical parameters. Further studies are required to support our findings.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of co-administration of intravenous lidocaine and dexmedetomidine on the recovery from laparoscopic hysterectomy: a randomized controlled trial.
Some evidences have reported that intravenous lidocaine and dexmedetomidine alone can improve the quality of recovery after surgery. The main purpose of our study to explore whether co-administration of lidocaine and dexmedetomidine infusion could further improve the quality of recovery after laparoscopic hysterectomy compared to either lidocaine or dexmedetomidine administration. ⋯ Co-administration of lidocaine plus dexmedetomidine infusion improved to some extent the quality of recovery on POD1 compared to lidocaine and dexmedetomidine alone, but it significantly increased the incidence of intraoperative bradycardia and hypoxemia in the PACU, and prolonged the length of PACU stay.

Randomized Controlled TrialComparison of ultrasound-quided quadratus lumborum block and erector spinae plane block in terms of their effects on postoperative pain in open nephrectomy.
Ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block (QLB 2) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) were suggested to prevent somatic and visceral pain in a small number of abdominal surgeries. In this study, we aimed to compare these fascial plane blocks in terms of efficacy and safety in patients undergoing open nephrectomy. ⋯ Ultrasound-guided QLB 2 and ESP block were found to achieve similar results on at rest and at movement pain scores and morphine consumption of the patients undergoing open nephrectomy. Both blocks may be preferred, depending on the clinician's experience.

Randomized Controlled TrialPerioperative hyperoxia and myocardial injury after surgery (MINS): a randomized controlled trial.
The World Health Organization recommends hyperoxia (80% fraction of inspired oxygen, FiO2) during and for 2-6 hours following surgery to reduce surgical site infection (SSI). However, some studies suggest increased cardiovascular complications with such a high perioperative FiO2. The goal of our study was to compare the appearance of cardiovascular complications in elective adult colorectal surgery comparing the use of FiO2>0.8 versus conventional therapy (FiO2<0.4). ⋯ Perioperative hyperoxia therapy (FiO2>0.8) with the aim of decreasing SSI did not increase cardiovascular complications after elective colorectal surgery in a general population.
