Review[Continuous infusion of local anesthetic at the site of the abdominal surgical wound for postoperative analgesia: a systematic review].
We present a systematic review of clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of infusing local anesthetic through a catheter placed in the abdominal surgical wound. ⋯ Surgical wound analgesia is a safe technique whose effectiveness has been observed in cesarean sections and hysterectomies performed with Pfannenstiel incisions. Outcomes for other types of surgery are inconsistent. There is a lack of studies of the optimal site for catheter placement as well as of adequate anesthetic concentration and volume.

[Experience with the proseal laryngeal mask in ventriculoperitoneal shunting].
To describe the use, utility, safety, and effectiveness of the Proseal laryngeal mask for airway management in patients undergoing ventriculoperitonea shunting. ⋯ The Proseal laryngeal mask is useful for airway management in patients undergoing ventriculoperitoneal shunting. Due to the forced position of the neck, however, it may be necessary to reposition the mask or even proceed to orotracheal intubation in some cases. As is the case for other advanced uses, experience with the device is necessary. Material for managing a difficult airway should be on hand.
