Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Erector Spinae Plane Block vs Quadratus Lumborum Block for pediatric lower abdominal surgery: A double blinded, prospective, and randomized trial.
To evaluate and compare the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane (ESP) block with ultrasound-guided Quadratus Lumborum Block in pediatric lower abdominal surgeries. ⋯ This study shows that the ESPB provides similar postoperative analgesia to the QLB in pediatric patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery. Clinicians could decide according to their clinical experiences. CLINICAL TRIALS: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03463382.

Meta Analysis Comparative Study
High-dose versus low-dose opioid anesthesia in adult cardiac surgery: A meta-analysis.
We performed a systematic comparison of high-dose and low-dose opioid anesthesia in cardiac surgery. ⋯ Our data suggest that low-dose opioids, both short acting and long acting, are safe and effective to use in adult cardiac surgery patients, independent of the clinical characteristics of the patients and the type of opioid used. In view of the current opioid epidemic, low-dose opioid anesthesia should be considered for cardiac surgery patients.
