Introduction: Hip fracture surgeries in patients present significant challenges, particularly in managing pain during spinal anesthesia positioning. The Pericapsular Nerve Group Block (PENG) has shown promise in addressing this issue, but the ideal volume of local anesthetic for PENG is still uncertain. In our study, we aimed to analyze the effects of administering PENG block with two different volumes on analgesic quality for patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.

- Breast cancer surgery often requires anesthesia, with awake surgery gaining traction due to risks associated with general anesthesia and patient preference.
- A study from July 2022 to July 2023 tested ultrasound-guided fascial plane blocks for anesthesia in awake breast surgeries, enrolling 17 patients who met specific criteria.
- Results showed that 15 out of 17 patients achieved effective anesthesia, with high satisfaction rates and no complications, suggesting this method could reduce the need for general anesthesia in breast cancer surgeries.
Ultrasound-guided brachial plexus blocks (BPB) are used as an anaesthetic method in hand and wrist surgeries. The radial, median and ulnar nerves can also be selectively blocked. The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to compare distal nerve blocks (DNB) and BPB in terms of block success, block-related characteristics, time to discharge and patient satisfaction.
