Randomized Controlled TrialComparison of shoulder anterior capsular block and interscalene brachial plexus block for shoulder arthroscopy: a preliminary analysis.
This study aims to reveal the perioperative analgesic efficacy of a new technique, anterior capsular shoulder block, in treating pain after shoulder arthroscopy compared to the interscalene brachial plexus block. ⋯ This study demonstrated that the anterior capsular shoulder block is an effective alternative with similar results to the interscalene brachial plexus block for managing pain after shoulder arthroscopy.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of preoperative warming on intraoperative hypothermia and postoperative functional recovery in total hip arthroplasty: a randomized clinical trial.
Intraoperative hypothermia is associated with increased morbidity and impaired postoperative recovery. Direct anterior-approached total hip arthroplasty (ATHA) may lead to significant thermal loss. We aimed to assess whether preoperative warming had an impact on intraoperative hypothermia and postoperative functional recovery after ATHA. ⋯ In ATHA, pre-warming delays and reduces intraoperative heat loss, impacting patient comfort and postoperative functional recovery.
