Randomized Controlled Trial
Sub dissociative dose of ketamine with haloperidol versus fentanyl on pain reduction in patients with acute pain in the emergency department; a randomized clinical trial.
Ketamine is known to be an effective factor in reducing pain without significant side effects. ⋯ Ketamine works better than fentanyl in controlling acute pain, and limited side effect of agitation can be controlled if injected with haloperidol. Due to its better function and fewer side effects, it seems that in controlling acute pain, Ketamine along with Haloperidol can be a good alternative to opioids.

Randomized Controlled TrialUltrasound-guided transverse abdominis plane block, ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block, and quadratus lumborum block for elective open inguinal hernia repair in children: a randomized controlled trial.
Ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric (II/IH) nerve blocks and transverse abdominis plane (TAP) blocks are widely used for postoperative analgesia in children undergoing inguinal hernia repair (IHR). Quadratus lumborum block (QLB) provides analgesia for both upper and lower abdominal surgery. Very few randomized controlled trials in children have assessed the efficacy of QLB in IHR. Thus, this study was designed to find the comparative effectiveness of QLB versus TAP and II/IH blocks in children undergoing open IHR. ⋯ QLB provides a prolonged period of analgesia and leads to decreased opioid consumption compared with TAP blocks and II/IH nerve blocks in children undergoing open IHR.
