Randomized Controlled TrialSerratus Anterior Plane Block and Erector Spinae Plane Block Versus Thoracic Epidural Analgesia for Perioperative Thoracotomy Pain Control: A Randomized Controlled Study.
This study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of erector spinae plane block and serratus anterior plane block versus thoracic epidural in perioperative pain control for patients with cancer undergoing lung surgeries. ⋯ Erector spinae plane block can be used as an effective and safe alternative to thoracic epidural analgesia and shows superior analgesic profile to serratus anterior plane block for patients with lung cancer undergoing posterolateral thoracotomy.

Review Meta AnalysisComparison of PECS II and erector spinae plane block for postoperative analgesia following modified radical mastectomy: Bayesian network meta-analysis using a control group.
The present study compared the effects of pectoral nerve block II (PECS II) and erector spinae plane (ESP) block for postoperative analgesia in patients who underwent modified radical mastectomy by performing a network meta-analysis (NMA) using indirect comparison with systemic analgesia. Studies comparing the analgesic effects of PECS II and ESP block were searched on MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library. The primary outcome of this study was cumulative opioid consumption for 24 h postoperatively. ⋯ Relative to systemic analgesia, PECS II block showed lower pain scores over the first postoperative 24 h, whereas ESP block did not. PECS II block showed the highest surface under the cumulative ranking curves for both opioid consumption and pain score. Both PECS II and ESP blocks were shown to be more effective than systemic analgesia regarding postoperative analgesia following modified radical mastectomy, and between the two blocks, PECS II appeared to have favorable analgesic effects compared to ESP block.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
Persistent Incisional Pain after Noncardiac Surgery: An International Prospective Cohort Study.
The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence, characteristics, impact, and risk factors associated with persistent incisional pain. The hypothesis was that patient demographics and perioperative interventions are associated with persistent pain. ⋯ Persistent incisional pain is a common complication of inpatient noncardiac surgery, occurring in approximately 1 in 30 adults. It results in significant morbidity, interferes with daily living, and is associated with persistent analgesic consumption. Certain demographics, ethnicities, and perioperative practices are associated with increased risk of persistent pain.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Effect of erector spinae plane block on the postoperative quality of recovery after laparoscopic cholecystectomy a prospective double-blind study.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common surgical procedure that frequently results in substantial postoperative pain. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been shown to have beneficial postoperative analgesic effects when used as a part of multimodal analgesia. The aim of this study was to determine whether ESPB improves postoperative recovery quality in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Evaluation of the effects of ESPB on postoperative pain, opioid consumption, and nausea and vomiting was the secondary objective. ⋯ NCT04112394.

Observational StudyAssociation Between Intraoperative Remifentanil Dosage and Postoperative Opioid Consumption in Adolescent Idiopathic Spine Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery is associated with significant postoperative pain. Remifentanil is a short-acting opioid that is often used as a component of total intravenous anesthesia. Remifentanil has been implicated in acute opioid tolerance and opioid-induced hyperalgesia, resulting in increased postoperative pain and opioid consumption. This retrospective study sought to investigate the relationship between the dose of intraoperative remifentanil and cumulative postoperative opioid consumption through 72 hours following surgery for pediatric AIS patients. ⋯ In this study examining adolescent patients undergoing surgery for idiopathic scoliosis, no association was found between the dose of intraoperative remifentanil and postoperative opioid consumption in the context of a propofol-based total intravenous anesthetic and multimodal analgesia. These results provide direction for future prospective controlled studies to further evaluate this relationship.
