Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block or transversus abdominis plane block for recovery after caesarean section: A randomised clinical trial.
Caesarean section is a widely performed surgical procedure that often results in moderate-to-severe postoperative pain. If left untreated, this pain can lead to short-term and long-term consequences. Transversalis fascia plane (TFP) block and transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block are among the regional anaesthesia techniques employed for managing pain after a caesarean section. ⋯ TFP block used for analgesic purposes yielded a better quality recovery period than TAP block and also reduced opioid consumption.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The degree of respiratory depression according to the effect-site concentration in remimazolam target-controlled infusion: A randomised controlled trial.
Remimazolam is not only associated with a lower incidence of respiratory depression than propofol but also in itself has the risk of respiratory depression. ⋯ Remimazolam infusion, like that of other benzodiazepines, led to respiratory depression, which was more prominent at higher target effect-site concentrations. Therefore, appropriate countermeasures should be developed to prevent oxygen desaturation.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Diaphragm-sparing efficacy of subparaneural upper trunk block for arthroscopic shoulder surgery: A randomised controlled trial.
Inter-scalene block (ISB) is associated with an inevitable risk of hemi-diaphragmatic paresis (HDP). To reduce the risk of HDP, an upper trunk block (UTB) has been proposed at the brachial plexus division level. ⋯ UTB was associated with a lower incidence of HDP compared with ISB while providing excellent analgesia in arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
