A Systematic Scoping Review of Peridelivery Pain Management for Pregnant People With Opioid Use Disorder: From the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology and Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine.
The prevalence of pregnant people with opioid use disorder (OUD), including those receiving medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), is increasing. Challenges associated with pain management in people with OUD include tolerance, opioid-induced hyperalgesia, and risk for return to use. Yet, there are few evidence-based recommendations for pain management in the setting of pregnancy and the postpartum period, and many peripartum pain management studies exclude people with OUD. ⋯ Opinions are conflicting on the utility and disutility of various analgesic interventions. Studies generating high-quality evidence on this topic are needed to inform care for pregnant people with OUD. Specific research areas are identified, including utility and disutility of short-term opioid use for postpartum pain management, role of continuous wound infiltration and truncal nerve blocks, nonpharmacologic analgesia options, and the best methods to support psychosocial aspects of pain management.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Interpectoral-pectoserratus plane (PECS II) block in patients undergoing trans-axillary thoracic outlet decompression surgery; A prospective double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
To investigate if an interpectoral-pectoserratus plane (PECS II) block decreases postoperative pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting and improves quality of recovery in patients with neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS) undergoing trans-axillary thoracic outlet decompression surgery. ⋯ The interpectoral-pectoserratus plane block is not effective for postoperative analgesia in patients with NTOS undergoing trans-axillary thoracic outlet decompression surgery.

Is erector spinae plane (ESP) catheter insertion within 24 h of hospital admission for rib fractures associated with a lower incidence of respiratory complications compared to those having an ESP within 48 h or after 48 h of admission. ⋯ The performance of an ESP block after 48 h of admission was associated with an increased incidence of respiratory complications and ICU length of stay. There appears to be no added benefit associated with the provision of a prompt ESP within 24 h.
