Spinal anesthesia is one of the most frequently performed regional anesthesia techniques for a variety of surgeries world-wide. Cranial nerve palsy is a rarely reported complication of central neuraxial block. The etiology varies; however, it is most often associated with nerve compression or traction due to intracranial hypotension.

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate if NOL monitoring reduces intraoperative opioid use compared to conventional therapy (opioid administered at clinician discretion).
Methods: This meta-analysis comprises randomized clinical trials comparing NOL-guided opioid administration to conventional therapy in adult patients undergoing any type of surgery.
Article Synopsis
- The video shows a medical procedure called circumferential endoscopic submucosal dissection (or C-ESD).
- This procedure is done in a part of the body called the distal duodenum, which is part of the small intestine.
- The goal is to remove growths or abnormalities while being careful not to harm other tissue around it.
Article Synopsis
- Scapulothoracic arthrodesis (STA) surgery is aimed at stabilizing the scapula for patients with facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD), but postoperative pain can still occur despite using an erector spinae plane block (ESPB).
- A preoperative ESPB and an intraoperative ESPB catheter were employed, but patients still required rescue analgesia for pain in the periscapular region after surgery.
- To improve pain management, ultrasound-guided blocks targeting the dorsal scapular nerve (DSN) and long thoracic nerve (LTN) were successfully used, showing that selective nerve blocks can enhance pain relief post-STA surgery.
