Article Synopsis
- The study presents a new ultrasound-guided technique for blocking the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve (PFCN) called the "Gluteus-Deep Investing Fascia compartment Block" (GDIF block), which targets the space between the gluteus maximus muscle and deep investing fascia.
- Nineteen above-knee surgeries were performed on nine patients using the GDIF block as part of the Complete Lower Extremity Fascia Tri-compartment Block (CLEFT Block) without complications.
- Results indicate that the GDIF block effectively achieved complete PFCN blockade, allowing surgeries to proceed without the need for additional pain relief or conversion to general anesthesia.
Article Synopsis
- * Seven patients were treated using this nerve block method in district hospitals between May and December 2023, successfully completing their surgeries without complications or the need for general anesthesia.
- * The findings suggest that this combined technique is a safe option for high-risk surgical patients, although further research with a larger sample size is needed to confirm effectiveness.
Article Synopsis
- Lung ultrasound is an effective non-invasive tool for assessing lung injury in critically ill COVID-19 patients, especially in low-income settings like Mali.
- A study involving 156 patients showed that most had respiratory failure, with high feasibility and reproducibility in the ultrasound assessments.
- Findings revealed a significant correlation between lung ultrasound scores and oxygen levels, with higher scores linked to increased mortality, emphasizing the method's value in critical care decisions.
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an increasingly accessible skill, allowing for the decentralization of its use to nonspecialist healthcare workers to guide routine clinical decision-making. The advent of ultrasound-on-a-chip has transformed the technology into a portable mobile health device. Because of its high sensitivity to detect small consolidations, pleural effusions, and subpleural nodules, POCUS has recently been proposed as a sputum-free likely triage tool for tuberculosis (TB).
