Randomized Controlled Trial
Comparison of ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block-2 and quadratus lumborum block-3 for postoperative pain in cesarean section: A randomized clinical trial.
The aim of this study was to compare the postoperative analgesic effects of ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block-2 (QLB-2) and quadratus lumborum block-3 (QLB-3) after cesarean section (C/S) under general anesthesia. ⋯ This study demonstrated that, although both QLBs were safe and reliable, QLB-3 provides more effective analgesia and patient satisfaction than QLB-2 in C/S.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficacy and safety of remimazolam for procedural sedation during ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block and rectus sheath block in patients undergoing abdominal tumor surgery: a single-center randomized controlled trial.
To explore the efficacy and safety of remimazolam for procedural sedation during ultrasound-guided nerve block administration in patients undergoing abdominal tumor surgery, in order to improve and optimize remimazolam use in procedural sedation and clinical anesthesia. ⋯ Remimazolam can be used safely for procedural sedation during ultrasound-guided nerve block administration in patients undergoing abdominal tumor surgery. The sedation effect is better than that with either midazolam or dexmedetomidine, and sedation can be achieved quickly without obvious hemodynamic fluctuations. Remimazolam is associated with better heart rate stability, and slightly higher incidences of hypoxemia and injection pain than are midazolam and dexmedetomidine (no statistically significant difference). The higher incidence of hypoxemia with remimazolam may be related to enhanced sufentanil opioid analgesia, and the mechanism of injection pain with remimazolam must be studied further and clarified.

Randomized Controlled TrialEfficacy of ultrasound-guided single-injection erector spinae plane block for thoracoscopic wedge resection: a prospective randomized control trial.
Despite advances in minimally invasive thoracic surgery, patients remain at risk of adverse pulmonary events with suboptimal postoperative analgesia. Novel methods of regional analgesia are warranted. Our objective was to prospectively evaluate the impact of ultrasound-guided single-injection erector spinae plane (ESP) block with ropivacaine compared with placebo control on standard of care postoperative recovery in subjects undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) wedge resection. ⋯ Following VATS wedge resection, the addition of an ESP block with ropivacaine to standard multimodal analgesia is unlikely to add meaningful clinical value.
