Peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) provide excellent perioperative analgesia but can increase the risk of severe postoperative pain once the block wears off. Poor adherence to discharge instructions may increase this risk. Panda-Nerve Block (Panda) is an app that alerts the patient to assess their PNB, score their pain, and take scheduled pain medication. We assessed the usability and feasibility of Panda for assisting patients after receiving a PNB. ⋯ Panda-Nerve Block is a feasible method for PNB patients to manage postoperative pain with a high response rate. Future work should include providing two-way communication for patients and clinicians and assessing its effect on pain outcomes.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Prospective Single-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Pericapsular Injection Versus Lumbar Plexus Peripheral Nerve Block for Hip Arthroscopy.
Hip arthroscopy has become the standard for the operative treatment of symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement. Given the high levels of postoperative pain associated with hip arthroscopy, optimal analgesia is critical to ensure patient comfort and safety after discharge. ⋯ ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03244631.

The Analgesic Efficacy of Pecto-Intercostal Fascial Block Combined with Pectoral Nerve Block in Modified Radical Mastectomy: A Prospective Randomized Trial.
Pectoral nerve (Pecs) block is one of the most promising regional analgesic techniques for breast surgery. However, Pecs II block may not provide analgesia of the medial aspect of the breast or the entire nipple-areolar complex. ⋯ The combination of Pecs II and PIFB provide better perioperative analgesia for MRM than Pecs II alone.

Randomized Controlled Trial Retraction Of PublicationEfficacy of Bilateral Transversus Thoracis Muscle Plane Block in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Open Cardiac Surgery.
Adequate pain management is crucial for pediatric patients undergoing open cardiac surgery. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of a bilateral transversus thoracis muscle plane (TTP) block on open cardiac surgery outcomes. ⋯ Bilateral TTP blocks provide effective analgesia and accelerate recovery in pediatric patients.
