Randomized Controlled Trial
Analgesic efficacy of the serratus anterior plane block in rib fractures pain: A randomized controlled trial.
Serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) was evaluated that in patients with the complaint of rib fracture pain in terms of total analgesic consumption and pain scores. ⋯ This study demonstrated that SAPB, as part of multimodal analgesia in pain management due to rib fractures, is safe and effective in reducing acute pain.

Effect of peripheral nerve blocks on postanesthesia care unit length of stay in patients undergoing ambulatory surgery: a retrospective cohort study.
Peripheral regional anesthesia and analgesia may increase the efficiency of ambulatory surgical centers by reducing pain and preventing nausea and vomiting, which are important modifiable causes of prolonged postanesthesia care unit (PACU) length of stay. We hypothesized that the use of peripheral nerve blocks (PNB) was associated with shorter PACU length of stay in ambulatory surgery. ⋯ The use of PNB significantly reduced PACU length of stay in ambulatory surgical patients, which may in part be attributed to lower intraoperative opioid requirements.

The Analgesic Efficacy of Erector Spinae Plane Blocks in Patients Undergoing Posterior Lumbar Spinal Surgery for Lumbar Fracture.
To investigate the postoperative analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided lumbar erector spinae plane (ESP) blocks in patients undergoing posterior lumbar spinal surgery for lumbar spinal fractures. ⋯ PCA combined with lumbar ESP blocks provided superior postoperative analgesia for patients with lumbar spinal fractures treated with posterior internal fixation. Lumbar ESP blocks decreased postoperative opioid consumption and incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, thereby enhancing postoperative recovery.
