Validity of Airway Ultrasound in Correlation with Cormack-Lehane Grading in Obese Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Ultrasound (US) of the upper airway has the potential to be a valuable addition to traditional clinical evaluation methods.

Objectives: This work aimed to assess the validity of US in correlation with Cormack-Lehane grading (CLG) in obese patients.

Methods: This cross-sectional work was performed on 78 patients ranging in age between 21 and 60 years, both genders with the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) II-III individuals and body mass index (BMI) 30 kg/m² or more, under general anesthesia with endotracheal tube placement.

Comparison Between Erector Spinae Plane Block versus Serratus Anterior Plane Block Regarding Analgesia and Stress Response After Modified Radical Mastectomy: Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) is the primary surgical treatment for breast cancer, yet it leads to significant postoperative pain.

Objectives: This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effects of an erector spinae plane block (ESPB) versus a serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) on post-MRM pain management and stress response reduction.

Methods: Sixty individuals scheduled for unilateral MRM under general anesthesia from October 2021 to October 2022 were divided into three groups.
