ReviewInjection pressures measuring for a safe peripheral nerve block.
The performance of a precise and safe peripheral nerve blockade (PNB) can currently rely on the aid of the ultrasounds and nerve stimulators. The injection pressure monitoring may be beneficial to perform a safer procedure. This review focuses on the pressures measured during PNB among studies conducted on animal, and human models. ⋯ So it is desirable to make further studies in order to assess them. In the future, the monitoring of the pressure could allow the use of a minimal quantity of anesthetic, empowering the safety of the nerve blocks. Moreover, the sensitive system should not be invasive and it should not hinder the job of the anesthetists.

Comparative Study Observational StudyEffects of a physiotherapic program in patients on veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. A 8 year single center experience.
To date, there is no agreement on the timing to perform a physical session in patients on veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). We aimed to assess whether early physiotherapy (within the first week from ECMO start) could affect in-ICU mortality. ⋯ In patients on VV-ECMO support, physiotherapy is feasible and safe and that early physiotherapy, initiated within the first week from ECMO start, is associated with shorter duration of ECMO support and ICU length of stay.
