Comparison of ultrasound-guided continuous erector spinae plane block versus continuous paravertebral block for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing proximal femur surgeries.

Background: Proximal femur fracture surgeries have become increasingly prevalent, presenting unique challenges for postoperative pain management due to patient demographics and comorbidities. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has emerged as a relatively safe alternative to paravertebral block (PVB). Our aim was to compare ultrasound-guided continuous ESPB with continuous PVB for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing proximal femur surgeries under spinal anesthesia.

Comparison of ropivacaine, bupivacaine, and lignocaine in femoral nerve block to position fracture femur patients for central neuraxial blockade in Indian population.

Background: Patients with a fractured femur experience intense pain during positioning for neuraxial block for definitive surgery. Femoral nerve block (FNB) is therefore often given prior to positioning for analgesia. In our study, we compare the onset and quality of block of 0.

The Impact of Coronary Artery Disease on Outcomes in Patients Hospitalized With Pre-eclampsia.

Introduction Pre-eclampsia leads to long-lasting cardiovascular effects in women in the postpartum period, but prevalence and in-hospital adverse events of coronary artery disease (CAD) in women with pre-eclampsia are poorly understood. The prevalence, outcomes, and mortality risks identified in this study allow for possible routes of clinical intervention of CAD in women with pre-eclampsia. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and outcomes of CAD in women diagnosed with pre-eclampsia compared to those with pre-eclampsia with no history of CAD.

Evaluating ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGPT-4.0 Responses on Hyperlipidemia for Patient Education.

Introduction Hyperlipidemia is prevalent worldwide and affects a significant number of US adults. It significantly contributes to ischemic heart disease and millions of deaths annually. With the increasing use of the internet for health information, tools like ChatGPT (OpenAI, San Francisco, CA, USA) have gained traction.
