Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficacy of erector spinae plane block on postoperative pain in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery.
Major lumbar spine surgery causes severe pain in the postoperative period. There are few studies regarding the effect of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) effect on lumbar surgery and its effect is still controversial. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided low thoracic ESPB on opioid consumption and postoperative pain score. ⋯ ESPB is adequate for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery and can reduce opioid consumption compared with standard analgesia.

Lumpectomy is important for preventing malignant changes in benign tumors and diagnosing malignant tumors. Intercostal nerve blocks (ICNBs) are useful for breast lumpectomy as either the primary anesthetic or as an adjuvant anesthetic procedure. To our knowledge, no studies have evaluated the association between Horner syndrome and ICNB. ⋯ Horner's syndrome, intercostal nerve block, breast lumpectomy, enhanced recovery.

The Effect of Breathing Exercise Using Bubble Blower on Anxiety and Pain during Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block in Children Aged 7 to 10 Years: A Crossover Randomized Clinical Trial.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of breathing exercise using bubble blower on anxiety and pain during inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) in children aged 7 to 10 years. ⋯ Breathing exercise using a bubble blower may be an efficient distraction and relaxation method to decrease pain of 7- to 10-year-old children with moderate to severe anxiety during inferior alveolar nerve block. However, anxiety levels were lower when applying BE, and the differences were not statistically significant.

Randomized Controlled TrialKetamine versus magnesium sulphate as an adjuvant to local anesthetics in the peribulbar block for posterior segment surgeries: a randomized controlled study.
The use of an adjuvant to local anesthetics in the peribulbar block may improve block characteristics. The aim of this double-blinded, parallel-group, randomized, controlled trial was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ketamine versus magnesium sulphate as adjuvants to the local anesthetic mixture of peribulbar block in patients scheduled for vitreoretinal surgeries. ⋯ In vitreoretinal surgeries the use of either ketamine or magnesium sulphate as adjuvants to the local anesthetic mixture of peribulbar block improved the onset, duration, and quality of the block, offered better patient and surgeon satisfaction, and was not associated with drug adverse effects or surgical complications.
