TEMPORARY REMOVAL: Sedatives, analgesics, and antipsychotics in tracheostomised intensive care unit patients - Is less more?
Sedation and anaesthesia are used universally to facilitate mechanical ventilation - with larger cumulative doses being used in those with prolonged ventilation. Transitioning from an endotracheal to a tracheostomy tube enables the depth of sedation to be reduced. Early use of speaking valves with tracheostomised patients has become routine in some intensive care units (ICU). The return of verbal communication has been observed to improve ease of patient care and increase patient and family engagement, with a perceived reduction in patient agitation. ⋯ There was significantly less analgesic used in patients with an SV compared to those without. However, SV use in patients with tracheostomy was not found to be associated with reduced dose of sedatives or antipsychotics, despite the clinical impression. Future prospective studies are needed to more adequately investigate the association between drugs and patients' ability to verbally participate in their care.

Acute pain after serratus anterior plane or thoracic paravertebral blocks for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: A randomised trial.
Serratus anterior and paravertebral blocks can both be used for video-assisted thoracic surgery. However, serratus anterior blocks are easier to perform, and possibly safer. We therefore tested the primary hypothesis that serratus anterior plane blocks and thoracic paravertebral blocks provide comparable analgesia for video-assisted thoracic surgery. Secondarily, we tested the hypothesis that both blocks lengthen the time to onset of surgical pain and reduce the need for rescue tramadol. ⋯ ChiCTR1800017671; http://www.chictr.org.cn/hvshowproject.aspx?id=13510.
