Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Does programmed intermittent epidural bolus improve childbirth conditions of nulliparous women compared with patient-controlled epidural analgesia?: A multicentre, prospective, controlled, randomised, triple-blind study.
Epidural analgesia may change the mechanics of childbirth. These changes are related to the concentration of the local anaesthetic used epidurally but probably also to its mode of delivery into the epidural space. ⋯ The mechanics of the second stage did not differ whether PIEB or PCEA was used. Analgesic conditions appeared to be superior with PIEB, especially at full dilation.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Bilateral subcostal transversus abdominis plane block does not improve the postoperative analgesia provided by multimodal analgesia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A randomised placebo-controlled trial.
Subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block does not improve analgesia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Guidewire-assisted vs. direct radial arterial cannulation in neonates and infants: A randomised controlled trial.
Cannulation of the radial artery is challenging to perform in neonates and infants because of the small vessel size. ⋯ For radial artery cannulation in neonates and infants, guidewire-assisted radial artery cannulation showed superiority over the direct technique in terms of first-attempt success rate and overall success rate without delaying the procedure time.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The distance between the glottis and cuff of a tracheal tube placed through three supraglottic airway devices in children: A randomised controlled trial.
After tracheal tube insertion via various types of supraglottic airway devices, the distance from the tube cuff to the vocal cords has not been evaluated in children. ⋯ The AuraGain and air-Q are well tolerated intubating conduits. The possibility of vocal cord damage is higher when the I-gel is used.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Ipsilateral hemidiaphragmatic paresis after a supraclavicular and costoclavicular brachial plexus block: A randomised observer blinded study.
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. ⋯ CTRI/2017/09/009763.
