Article Synopsis
- Recent advancements in regional anesthesia (RA) owe much to ultrasound technology, but human factors like fatigue and misidentification of anatomy can affect performance.
- Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning can enhance RA practices by improving anatomical recognition and providing real-time guidance during procedures.
- While the future of AI in RA looks promising, challenges such as device malfunctions, data privacy issues, regulatory obstacles, and cost remain significant hurdles to widespread implementation.
Background And Aim: Spinal anesthesia is the most common type of anesthesia administered for caesarean section and it is frequently associated with hypotension. When post-spinal hypotension is accompanied with bradycardia, the condition may become more complicated. Numerous pharmacological agents have therefore been tried for prevention of hypotension and 5HT3 antagonists are the latest in the armamentarium.

Methods And Materials: A total of 216 patients were randomized to morning (8-10 AM) vs. afternoon (4-6 PM) RT and stratified by radiation dose, smoking status, and center.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of a pectoralis major myogenous flap in the prevention of pharyngocutaneous fistula in patients who have undergone total laryngectomy. Our secondary objective was to estimate the economic saving to our health care system.
Design: Retrospective clinical study.
