Ultrasound-guided External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block with Ropivacaine for Analgesia after Open Hepatectomy

Authors: Tong C et al. Anesthesiology, December 29, 2025, 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005846 This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of the ultrasound-guided external oblique intercostal (EOI) plane block using ropivacaine for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing open hepatectomy. The EOI plane block is a relatively new regional anesthesia technique designed to provide analgesia to the upper abdominal […]

Ropivacaine-Based Regional Anesthesia Exerts Muscle-Protective Effects Despite Elevated Compartment Pressure In A Porcine Model Of Acute Compartment Syndrome

Authors: Fritsch G et al. Anesthesiology, January 23, 2026, 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005950 This experimental study evaluated whether regional anesthesia using ropivacaine influences tissue injury during acute compartment syndrome (ACS). The use of regional anesthesia in patients at risk for compartment syndrome has long been controversial because clinicians worry that nerve blocks may mask pain and delay diagnosis. […]
