Background: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a multimodal perioperative care bundle aimed at the early recovery of patients. Well accepted in gastric and pelvic surgeries, there is minimal evidence in neurosurgery and neurocritical care barring spinal surgeries. We wished to compare the length of intensive care unit (ICU) or high dependency unit (HDU) stay of patients undergoing elective craniotomy for supratentorial neurosurgery: ERAS protocol versus routine care.

- Tracheal tumors causing airway obstruction often require surgery, but their location can make standard anesthesia and intubation difficult.
- Two cases are discussed where patients were placed on awake peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass before surgery to address this issue.
- Challenges included avoiding complications like Harlequin syndrome, managing the type of bypass, choosing monitoring methods, and coordinating care among multiple medical specialties for successful results.
Laparoscopic procedures are now preferred over open surgeries, and total laparoscopic hysterectomy is becoming increasingly popular. Quadratus lumborum (QL) block is an evolving technique for abdominal surgeries that blocks T5-L1 nerve branches. We used a combination of anterior and posterior QL block given bilaterally in two patients and evaluated perioperative opioid consumption, postoperative pain score and patient satisfaction.
