Randomized Controlled TrialThe efficacy of adductor canal blockade after minor arthroscopic knee surgery - a randomised controlled trial.
Adductor canal blockade (ACB) has been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of post-operative pain after major knee surgery. We hypothesised that the ACB would reduce pain and analgesic requirements after minor arthroscopic knee surgery. ⋯ No significant analgesic effect of the ACB could be detected after minor arthroscopic knee surgery with a basic analgesic regimen with acetaminophen and ibuprofen, except from a minor reduction in immediate requirements for supplemental opioids. Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01254825.

Recovery after nasal surgery vs. tonsillectomy: discriminant validation of the Postoperative Quality of Recovery Scale.
Initial validation and feasibility of the Post-Operative Quality of Recovery Scale (PQRS) was published in 2010. Ongoing validation includes studies to determine whether this scale can discriminate differences in recovery in similar patients having different surgery. ⋯ The study shows the ability of the PQRS to discriminate recovery in different domains. Tonsillectomy has a worse recovery profile over the first 3 days in nociceptive, activities of daily living and overall recovery, which is associated with poorer satisfaction than nasal surgery.

Pleural Case Report PostersSESSION TYPE: Case Report PosterPRESENTED ON: Sunday, March 23, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMINTRODUCTION: Prolonged air leak (PAL) is the most common complication after pulmonary resection. In our settings PAL is defined as a postoperative persistent air leak of at least 5 days. We described 2 cases of PAL treated using endobronchial valves (EBV) placement. We have performed a retrospective review of 13 patients presenting with PAL after any type of pulmonary resection between January 2012 and August 2013. Data were obtained from our prospectively recorded database. Two of these patients were treated using EBV (Table 1). We describe patients' characteristics, clinical course, type of valves, complications and final outcome. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Maria Rodríguez, María Teresa Gómez Hernández, Aldo Torracchi, Nuria María Novoa Valentín, Rosa Cordovilla, Jose Luis Aranda Alcaide, Marcelo Fernando Jiménez López, Gonzalo Varela SimóNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
