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.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Influence of reversal of neuromuscular blockade with sugammadex or neostigmine on postoperative quality of recovery following a single bolus dose of rocuronium: A prospective, randomized, double-blinded, controlled study.
Although there is some statistically significant improvement in very early post-operative physiology for sugammadex vs neostigmine, it is not clinically significant, persistent nor occurs in other recovery domains.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Cost-benefit analysis of the use of tranexamic acid in total replacement hip surgery.
To establish the best dose regimen for tranexamic acid (TXA) in total hip replacement surgery. ⋯ The administration of TXA is cost-effective, especially in the case of the two-dose regimen studied.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block versus oblique subcostal transversus abdominis plane block for postoperative analgesia of adult patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Randomized, controlled trial.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a frequently applied minimally invasive surgery. Intraoperative access is provided with small keyhole entries on the abdominal wall. However, LC causes moderate to severe postoperative pain. The subcostal approach of TAP block was described by Hebbard et al. for postoperative analgesia especially for upper abdominal surgeries. Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane (US-ESP) block is a novel technique targeting ventral rami, dorsal rami and rami communicantes of the spinal nerves. ⋯ Ultrasound-guided ESP block reduced postoperative tramadol consumption and pain scores more effectively than OSTAP block after laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.
