Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of Serratus Anterior Plane Block on Early Recovery from Thoracoscopic Lung Resection: A Randomized, Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial.
The efficacy of serratus anterior plane block for treatment of pain after minimally invasive thoracic surgery remains unclear. This trial assesses the impact of serratus anterior plane block on postoperative opioid consumption and on measures of early recovery after thoracoscopic lung resection. ⋯ The protocol-specified intention-to-treat analysis demonstrated that serratus anterior plane block did not result in a significant reduction in opioid consumption when added to a multimodal analgesic regimen after thoracoscopic anatomic lung resection. The sensitivity as-treated analysis showed a significant and modest clinical reduction in the primary outcome that warrants further investigation.

Paravertebral versus Pectoralis-II (Interpectoral and Pectoserratus) Nerve Blocks for Postoperative Analgesia after Non-Mastectomy Breast Surgery: A Randomized, Controlled, Observer-Masked Noninferiority Trial.
Pectoralis-II and paravertebral nerve blocks are both used to treat pain after breast surgery. Most previous studies involving mastectomy identified little difference of significance between the two approaches. Whether this is also accurate for nonmastectomy procedures remains unknown. ⋯ After nonmastectomy breast surgery, two-level paravertebral blocks provided superior analgesia and opioid sparing compared with pectoralis-II blocks. This is a contrary finding to the majority of studies in patients having mastectomy, in which little significant difference was identified between the two types of blocks.

Recovery quality of transversus abdominis plane block with liposomal bupivacaine after cesarean delivery: A randomized trial.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of liposomal bupivacaine in transversus abdominis plane block (TAP) on recovery quality after cesarean delivery. ⋯ TAP block using either liposomal bupivacaine or a mixture of plain bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine provided superior quality of recovery at 24 h after cesarean delivery compared to using plain bupivacaine alone.

Erector Spinae Blocks for opioid-sparing multimodal pain management after Pediatric Cardiac Surgery.
Peripheral regional anesthesia is proposed to enhance recovery. We sought to evaluate the efficacy of bilateral continuous erector spinae plane blocks (B-ESpB) for postoperative analgesia and the impact on recovery in children undergoing cardiac surgery. ⋯ B-ESpBs are safe in children undergoing cardiac surgery. When performed as part of a multimodal pain strategy in an enhanced recovery after cardiac surgery program, pediatric patients with B-ESpB experience good pain control and require fewer opioids in the first 48 hours.
