The analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane block versus paravertebral block in thoracic surgeries: a meta-analysis.

Background: Acute postoperative pain after thoracic surgery might lead to chronic postsurgical pain (PSP), which lowers quality of life. The literature suggests thoracic paravertebral block (PVB) as a pain management approach. The ESPB (erector spinae plane block) is regarded to be an effective PVB alternative.

Background: Shivering is a common complication after subarachnoid administration of local anesthetics. Intravenous ketamine and tramadol are widely available anti-shivering drugs, especially in developing settings. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the effects of intravenous ketamine vs.

Assessment of perioperative anesthesia record sheet completeness: A multi-center observational study.

Background: Anesthesia record is an essential part of perioperative patient management and, it is one of the global patient safety challenges. The aim of this study is to assess the completeness of perioperative anesthesia record sheets in Amhara regional state hospitals of Ethiopia.

Methods: A retrospective review of anesthetic records was employed for patients who underwent surgery in Amhara Regional State Hospitals of Ethiopia from December 1, 2019, to February 29, 2020.

Patient satisfaction and its associated factors towards perioperative anesthesia service among surgical patients: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Patient satisfaction with perioperative anesthesia services is not well established in developing countries like Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess surgical patients' satisfaction with perioperative anesthesia service and its associated factors.

Method: A cross-sectional study design was conducted in patients who underwent surgeries at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, in North Central Ethiopia.

Medical and Health Science Students' Perception Towards a Problem-Based Learning Method: A Case of Debre Tabor University.

Background: Problem-based learning is a student-centered innovative instructional approach in which students define their learning objectives by using triggers from the predefined problem case scenario. Problem-based learning is not about problem-solving; rather it uses appropriate problems to increase the problem-solving skills of students. This study aims to assess the medical and health science students' perception towards problem-based learning method.

Predictive Values of Preoperative Tests for Difficult Laryngoscopy and Intubation in Adult Patients at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital.

Introduction: The significance of difficult or failed tracheal intubation following induction is a well-recognized cause of morbidity and mortality in anesthetic practice. Nevertheless, the need to predict potentially difficult tracheal intubation has received a little attention. During routine anesthesia, the incidence of difficult tracheal intubation has been estimated at 1.
