Meta AnalysisEfficacy and safety of pericapsular nerve group block in total hip arthroplasty: a meta-analysis and systematic review.
Ensuring effective perioperative pain control is a crucial aspect of rehabilitation programs following total hip arthroplasty. This study presents a comprehensive meta-analysis and systematic review to assess the efficacy and safety of pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) in the context of total hip arthroplasty. ⋯ Based on the latest findings, PENG has been shown to effectively decrease pain scores within six and 24 hours following total hip arthroplasty. However, its effectiveness in pain control diminishes after 48 hours. Additionally, PENG has demonstrated the ability to reduce opioid consumption without an accompanying increase in adverse drug events.

Incidence, factors, and prognostic analyses of challenging cardiopulmonary bypass separation in Chinese cardiac surgical populations.
Challenging separation from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been associated with multiple medical adversities, while its incidence, associated factors, and prognosis among cardiac surgery populations are substantially understudied. ⋯ We depicted the incidence of challenging separation from CPB among cardiac surgery population. Additionally, results of influential factors and various adverse outcome analyses emphasize the potential of interventions aimed at preventing difficult or complex separation from CPB and reducing associated adverse outcomes.
