Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) surgery is associated with significant postoperative pain. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for analgesia after MIDCAB. ⋯ Erector spinae plane block provided early effective postoperative analgesia and reduced opioid consumption, time to extubation, and ICU discharge in patients undergoing MIDCAB.

Regional anesthesia may favour postoperative rehabilitation by inhibiting peripheral sensitization and secondary hyperalgesia. The literature on this subject is limited. In the present FUNCTION study, we sought to compare the functional recovery post orthopedic wrist surgery with regional versus general anesthesia. ⋯ ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04541745); registered 9 September 2020.

We sought to examine the incidence of severe postoperative pain in patients with cerebral palsy (CP) in the first 48 hr after surgery performed under combined regional and general anesthesia and its association with patient and surgical factors. ⋯ CTRI.nic.in (027002); registered 5 August 2020.
