Objective: This research investigated the combined analgesic effects of intercostal nerve block and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) on patients after lung cancer surgery.
Methods: 95 patients with thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer from April 2017 to July 2020 were enrolled as the research objects, and randomly divided into observation-group (n=50) and control-group (n=45) by random number table. The control-group received intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA), and the observation group received combinative treatment of intercostal nerve block and IV-PCA.
Objective: To compare and analyze the analgesic effect of iliac fascial block with vertical and horizontal inguinal approach after total hip arthroplasty.
Methods: 78 patients who admitted to our hospital and underwent unilateral total hip replacement from January 2019 to June 2020 were enrolled and randomly divided into Group A (n=40) and Group B (n=38). 30 min before surgery, the group A received ultrasound-guided iliac fascial block by vertical inguinal approach, and group B underwent ultrasound-guided iliac fascial block with horizontal inguinal approach.
Background/objective: Inadvertent intraoperative hypothermia (core temperature <36°C) is a frequently preventable complication with several adverse consequences. Our study aimed to determine the overall incidence of inadvertent intraoperative hypothermia and its risk factors associated with clinical outcomes in this national survey in China.
Methods: We conducted a national cross-sectional study with 30 days postoperative follow-up from November 2014 through August 2015.
