Examining a brief web and longitudinal app-based intervention [Wysa] for mental health support in Singapore during the COVID-19 pandemic: mixed-methods retrospective observational study.

The COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore led to limited access to mental health services, resulting in increased distress among the population. This study explores the potential benefits of offering a digital mental health intervention (DMHI), Wysa, as a brief and longitudinal intervention as part of the mindline.sg initiative launched by the MOH Office for Healthcare Transformation in Singapore.

Analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided retrolaminar block in truncal surgeries: A narrative review.

Postoperative pain management in patients undergoing thoracoabdominal surgery always remains challenging for the anesthesiologist. As a method of pain management, multimodal analgesia is commonly used. In recent years, interfascial plane blocks like erector spine plane block (ESPB), retrolaminar block (RLB), transverse thoracic plane block, and pectointercostal plane block have been increasingly utilized as important components of acute postoperative pain management in truncal surgeries.

Effect of table height on supraglottic airway insertion (I-gel): A randomized control trial.

Background And Aims: Both operating table height and patient level in relation to the anesthesiologist influence supraglottic airway device (SAD) insertion and task performance in terms of physical and mental workload. The aim of the study was to find out the appropriate table height during SAD insertion in terms of time taken for insertion, success rate, ease of insertion, and anesthesiologist comfort.

Material And Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 90 American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II patients, aged between 18 and 60 years, scheduled for elective surgery were recruited.
