TL;DR: The superior trunk block may be considered an alternative to traditional interscalene block for shoulder surgery and provide noninferior surgical anesthesia and analgesia while sparing the phrenic nerve.

TL;DR: ERAS components were used more frequently over time, and the level of utilisation was independently associated with incrementally improved complication odds and reduced length of stay during the primary admission.

TL;DR: The overall comorbidity burden increased among patients undergoing hip fracture repair surgery from 2006 to 2016, and incidence of postoperative complications either remained constant or declined with the only significant increase observed in acute renal failure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the prevalence of outpatient telemedicine visits before the COVID-19 pandemic by patient subgroups based on age, comorbidity burden, residence rurality, and median household income.

TL;DR: Patients undergoing elective surgery comprised a small fraction of ICU bed and mechanical ventilation use in New York State, and suspension of elective surgeries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may have a minor impact on ICU capacity when compared to other sources ofICU admission such as emergent/urgent admissions/trauma surgery and medical admissions.
