Introduction Intravascular injection of a local anesthetic can lead to life-threatening complications, such as deficits in neurological function after caudal epidural block. This study aimed to determine whether the intravascular injection rate of the Tuohy needle is lower than that of the Quincke needle during an ultrasound-guided caudal block. Methods Two-hundred and thirty patients were…

Mashup Score: 2Daring discourse: artificial intelligence in pain medicine, opportunities and challenges - 2 year(s) ago
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are currently expanding their influence within healthcare. For pain clinics, unfettered introduction of AI may cause concern in both patients and healthcare teams. Much of the concern stems from the lack of community standards and understanding of how the tools and algorithms function. Data literacy and understanding can be challenging even for experienced…

Mashup Score: 0How to report drug concentrations or classic pharmacokinetics in regional anesthesia and pain medicine: what information needs to be provided? - 2 year(s) ago
When reporting individual drug concentrations or proper pharmacokinetic data, it is important to adequately report the circumstances associated with sampling, storing, analysis methodology and pharmacokinetic modelling. If this is not done in sufficient detail it will be impossible to properly evaluate the validity of the results. The present text represents a suggested approach on what to report…

Mashup Score: 0Surgical opioid-avoidance protocol: a postoperative pharmacological multimodal analgesic intervention in diverse patient populations - 2 year(s) ago
Introduction This study evaluated the effect of a surgical opioid-avoidance protocol (SOAP) on postoperative pain scores. The primary goal was to demonstrate that the SOAP was as effective as the pre-existing non-SOAP (without opioid restriction) protocol by measuring postoperative pain in a diverse, opioid-naive patient population undergoing inpatient surgery across multiple surgical…

Introduction Surgical site infiltration with bupivacaine hydrochloride (HCl) is a standard element of postoperative analgesia for soft tissue surgeries, but results in short-lived analgesia. A novel bupivacaine implant, XARACOLL (bupivacaine HCl), is Food and Drug Administration approved for treatment of acute postsurgical pain following adult inguinal herniorrhaphy. This study examined the…

Mashup Score: 0Citing retracted literature: a word of caution - 2 year(s) ago
Introduction Inappropriate citation of retracted literature is a common problem in the general medical literature. In 2020, more than 2300 articles were retracted, a dramatic increase from 38 in 2000. By exploring a contemporary series of retractions by one research group, we aimed to evaluate if citations of retracted articles is occurring in the area of regional anesthesiology. Methods Using…

Mashup Score: 3Cadaveric study investigating the femoral nerve-sparing volume for pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block - 2 year(s) ago
Background This cadaveric study investigated the maximum effective volume of dye in 90% of cases (MEV90) required to stain the iliac bone between the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) and the iliopubic eminence (IPE) while sparing the femoral nerve during the performance of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block. Methods In cadaveric hemipelvis specimens, the ultrasound transducer was placed…
