This observational study aimed to identify predictive factors associated with difficult TEE probe insertion in adult cardiac surgery patients. Methods A total of 119 adult patients […]
Read MoreAuthors: Tsuji T, Takeuchi S, Tsuji R, et al. Cureus 16(7): e64504. doi:10.7759/cureus.64504 Abstract Ultrasound-guided clavipectoral fascial plane block (CPB) and intermediate cervical plexus block (ICPB) have been used as novel approaches for clavicular fracture surgery in adults.

Introduction For peripheral nerve blocks, using either the liposomal formulation of bupivacaine or plain bupivacaine with epinephrine and dexamethasone as an adjuvant has been shown to improve postoperative pain scores. In a single-blinded, randomized controlled study of patients undergoing […]
Read MoreAuthors: Patel S, Ninave S, Sagar S Cureus June 12, 202416(6): e62221. Abstract A large extraoral fungus, frequently seen in late head and neck cancers, poses serious difficulties for the management of anesthesia and surgery. Essential factors include preoperative optimization, airway assessment, intraoperative monitoring, and postoperative care. Risk mitigation and outcome optimization strategies are discussed, […]
Read MoreAuthors: Ismail M I, Al-Gharaibeh O R, Talafha L, et al. Cureus June 21, 202416(6) Abstract Robotic surgery provides precision and safety for minimally invasive gynecological operations but introduces unique anesthetic challenges, especially for individuals with pre-existing conditions like Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. This case report addresses the anesthetic management of a 32-year-old female with WPW […]
