Objective: To investigate the impact of ultrasound-guided regional analgaesia techniques on postoperative recovery and compare them with those of intratecal morphine (ITM) in obstetric patients undergoing elective caesarean delivery (CD).
Study Design: Observational study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Anaesthesiology and Reanimation, Konya City Hospital, Konya, Turkiye, from January to December 2022.

Objective: The 10-item Obstetric Quality-of-Recovery 10 scale is a validated patient-reported outcome questionnaire that measures the quality of recovery following delivery. This study aims to develop a Turkish version of the Obstetric Quality of Recovery 10 to evaluate its validity, reliability, and clinical feasibility.
Methods: Term parturients who underwent vaginal delivery or elective caesarean delivery were asked to complete a Turkish version of Obstetric Quality-of-Recovery 10 scoring tool and EuroQol 5-dimension 3L scores (including a global health visual analogue scale) 24 hours after delivery.
Erector Spina plane (ESP) block; It is a new and simple interfacial area block applied with ultrasonography. ESP is gaining popularity in abdominal and thorax surgery due to its adequate postoperative analgesia, easy administration, and low complication rate. In this case, the postoperative analgesic efficacy of bilateral ESP block performed under the guidance of ultrasonography in a myasthenic patient undergoing thymectomy surgery presented.

Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been shown to have beneficial postoperative analgesic effects when used as a part of multimodal analgesia. The aim of this study was to determine whether ESPB improves postoperative recovery quality in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Postoperative pain is one of the leading contributors to respiratory dysfunction following surgery. This study investigated the effect of erector spinae plane (ESP) block on postoperative analgesia and respiratory function in patients undergoing LC.

Sharing data on transfusion practices and recipients may improve patients' care and implementation of Patient Blood Management (PBM).
Materials And Methods: This was a multicentre, prospective, observational, cross-sectional study that included 61 centres.
In this prospective trial, we investigate the effectiveness of maternal Body Roundness Index in predicting the spread of spinal anaesthesia and vasopressor requirement in parturients receiving spinal anaesthesia during the elective caesarean section. We prospectively enrolled 175 parturients. Spinal anaesthesia performed with 10 mg 0.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a single pre-induction intravenous dose of dexmedetomidine 1 microg/kg on cardiovascular response resulting from laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation, need for anaesthetic agent and perioperative haemodynamic stability.
Methods: Fifty patients scheduled for elective minor surgery were randomised into two groups (dexmedetomidine group and placebo group, n = 25 in each group).
