Read MoreAuthors: Sivashanmugam T et al European Journal of Anaesthesiology (Aug 2019) BACKGROUND The costoclavicular brachial plexus block (BPB) produces faster onset of sensory motor blockade than the lateral sagittal approach. However, the incidence of phrenic nerve palsy (PNP) after a costoclavicular BPB is not known. OBJECTIVES The current study compared the incidence of ipsilateral hemidiaphragmatic […]
Read MoreAuthors: Yezid N et al BMJ Case Reports 12 (8), (Aug 2019) Managing the difficult airway presents a great challenge to anaesthesiologists and emergency physicians. Although there are many methods and scoring systems available to predict and anticipate difficult airway, the dictum in emergency airway is to always expect the unexpected. We have encountered a […]
Read MoreAuthors: Tomas J. Caruso et al Pediatric Anesthesia November 2019 Background Vascular access is a minor procedure that is associated with reported pain and fear in pediatric patients, often resulting in procedural incompliance.

However, thermosoftening technique is known to […]

MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: September 2019 – Volume 129 – Issue 3 – p 855-863 BACKGROUND: Bilateral paravertebral block (PVB) is a suitable alternative to thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) for abdominal surgeries. This randomized clinical trial aims to determine if PVB is noninferior to TEA in terms of analgesia after […]
