Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of erector spinae plane (ESP) and thoracolumbar interfascial plane (TLIP) blocks for pain management in lumbar spine surgeries.
- The study included six randomized controlled trials, revealing that the ESP block significantly reduces 24-hour opioid consumption and lower pain scores at one and twenty-four hours compared to the TLIP block.
- There was no significant difference in adverse events between the two techniques.

Article Synopsis
- Subclavian vein cannulation is crucial for central venous access, and this study compares two ultrasound-guided techniques: supraclavicular and infraclavicular approaches.
- A meta-analysis of seven studies involving 1,812 patients showed that the supraclavicular method had a higher first-pass success rate and shorter catheterization time than the infraclavicular method.
- Both approaches had similar complication rates, indicating that the supraclavicular approach is a more effective option for subclavian vein catheterization.
Background And Aims: This study aimed to assess if pre- and postoperative parameters of brachial artery reactivity (BAR), like flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and hyperaemic velocity (HV), could predict in-hospital mortality in perforation peritonitis patients undergoing emergency laparotomy.
Methods: In this prospective observational study, adult patients with perforation peritonitis undergoing emergency laparotomy were recruited. FMD and HV were measured preoperatively, postoperatively and at 24 and 48 h post-surgery.
