Randomized Controlled Trial
Adding a low-concentration sciatic nerve block to total knee arthroplasty in patients susceptible to the adverse effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): a randomized controlled trial.
This study compared the effects of adductor canal blocks with those of a low concentration of popliteal-sciatic nerve block (SNB) and dexamethasone as an adjunctive technique for total knee arthroplasties (TKA) in patients susceptible to the adverse effects of NSAIDs. ⋯ For patients susceptible to the adverse effects of NSAIDs, a low concentration of SNB and dexamethasone is an effective adjunctive technique for early postoperative pain control (especially on movement) following TKAs, without an increase in motor weakness.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Transmuscular quadratus lumborum block for postoperative pain and recovery after laparoscopic adrenalectomy: a randomized controlled trial.
To investigate the role of transmuscular quadratus lumborum block (TMQLB) for postoperative pain control, patient satisfaction and recovery in laparoscopic adrenalectomy. ⋯ TMQLB showed better control of postoperative pain on movement for laparoscopic adrenalectomy with improved patients' satisfaction of anesthesia, shorter time to ambulation and flatus.

Comparison of Landmark-guided, Nerve Stimulation-guided, and Ultrasound-guided Techniques for Paediatric Caudal Epidural Anaesthesia: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.
Traditionally, caudal epidurals are performed by a landmark-guided approach using the loss of resistance technique. Improvisations to increase the success rate can be attained by implementing modalities, namely neurostimulation and ultrasound, but there is a paucity of literature comparing these 3 approaches. Here, we compare the 3 techniques in terms of the success rate. ⋯ We found a similar success rate of the caudal epidural block by using landmark-guided, nerve stimulation-guided, or ultrasound-guided techniques in children aged 1 to 5 years with normal anatomy.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of ultrasound-guided low serratus anterior plane block on laparoscopic cholecystectomy postoperative analgesia: A randomized clinical trial.
Anterior serratus plane block for analgesia in many procedures, but there have been no reports of analgesia undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). We investigated the effects of ultrasonic-guided low serratory anterior block on patients undergoing LC. ⋯ Low serratus anterior plane block in LC can provide safe and effective analgesia for patients.
