Journal ArticleDOI
Thoracic paravertebral block.
TL;DR: Thoracic paravertebral blocks can be used to provide analgesia for unilateral trunk surgeries and ultrasound-guided approaches for needle tip placement and injection monitoring are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic review (meta-analysis) of the accuracy of the Mallampati tests to predict the difficult airway.
TL;DR: The original and modified Mallampati tests are commonly used to predict the difficult airway, but there is controversy regarding their accuracy and thus they are not useful screening tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute pain management of patients with multiple fractured ribs.
TL;DR: Based on current evidence it is difficult to recommend a single method that can be safely and effectively used for analgesia in all circumstances in patients with multiple fractured ribs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Placental Transfer and Fetal Metabolic Effects of Phenylephrine and Ephedrine during Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery
TL;DR: The associated increased fetal concentrations of lactate, glucose, and catecholamines support the hypothesis that depression of fetal pH and base excess with ephedrine is related to metabolic effects secondary to stimulation of fetal &bgr;-adrenergic receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-time ultrasound-guided paramedian epidural access: evaluation of a novel in-plane technique
TL;DR: The successful use of real-time US guidance in combination with LOR to saline for paramedian epidural access with the epidural needle inserted in the plane of the US beam is demonstrated.
