Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Local anesthesia versus general anesthesia for surgical drainage of chronic subdural hematoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
The optimal anesthetic technique for surgical drainage of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is still uncertain. We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to determine if local anesthesia with or without sedation (LA) or general anesthesia (GA) results in better outcomes for surgical drainage of CSDH. ⋯ PROSPERO (CRD42022333388); first submitted 1 June 2022.

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.

Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Proximal versus distal adductor canal catheters for total knee arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with severe postoperative pain. Continuous adductor canal blockade provides analgesia while preserving quadriceps muscle strength. Nevertheless, uncertainty still exists as to the optimal adductor canal catheter placement approach. We sought to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the analgesic effects of proximal vs distal adductor canal catheters in patients undergoing TKA. ⋯ PROSPERO (CRD42022353576); registered 25 August 2022.

Comparative Study Observational Study
Functional recovery of wrist surgery with regional versus general anesthesia: a prospective observational study.
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.
