Ultrasonography versus conventional palpation for epidural analgesia in pediatrics undergoing midabdominal urological operations: a randomized clinical trial.
Epidural block may be facilitated by ultrasound (US), particularly in pediatrics. Our goal was to compare pre-procedural US with traditional palpation for epidural block in pediatrics undergoing midabdominal urological procedures. ⋯ Preprocedural US facilitated epidural block in pediatrics undergoing mid-abdominal urological operations compared with conventional techniques.

Analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided rhomboid intercostal block versus serratus plane block in modified radical mastectomy: a prospective randomized controlled study.
This research aimed to assess the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) or serratus plane block (SPB) versus IV opioid among modified radical mastectomy (MRM) patients. ⋯ Both rhomboid intercostal and serratus anterior plane blocks were efficient for analgesia after modified radical mastectomy. However, RIB had better analgesic efficacy compared to SPB.

Randomized Controlled TrialA randomized clinical trial of intranasal dexmedetomidine versus inhaled nitrous oxide for procedural sedation and analgesia in children.
Procedural sedation and analgesia is an important part of pediatric emergency care, safe and clinically useful alternatives for adequate management are necessary. The objective of this clinical trial was to evaluate the non-inferiority of intranasal dexmedetomidine to nitrous oxide with respect to analgesia for a painful procedure in children 3-15 years of age. ⋯ The results of this trial support that intranasal dexmedetomidine is not inferior to 50% nitrous oxide in providing analgesia for a painful procedure in children 3-15 years of age and can be considered as an alternative to 50% nitrous oxide for procedural sedation and analgesia.
