Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques specifically for patients who are in a prone position during surgeries, with a focus on neurosurgery and spinal surgery.
- - A systematic review of 21 patient cases revealed that cardiac arrests were often due to issues like venous air embolism and hemorrhagic shock, with successful resuscitation achieved in an average of 5.60 minutes using posterior compressions.
- - The findings highlight the importance of training healthcare providers in prone resuscitation techniques, as the results suggest it can lead to positive patient outcomes during critical situations.
Purpose: Compare and evaluate the effectiveness of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block versus intrathecal morphine (ITM) on elective postcesarean section pain, opioid consumption, and related side effects.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: A search for evidence was conducted in PubMed, Google Scholar, CINAHL, Cochrane Collaboration Database, UpToDate, Health Source, and gray literature.

Postoperative pain associated with abdominal surgeries impairs physical function, delays recovery, and decreases quality of life. Regional anesthetic techniques such as transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and erector spinae plane (ESP) block are used to improve patients' postoperative pain experiences. PubMed, CINAHL, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and gray literature were searched.

In nurse anesthesia education, limited information exists on perceptions of clinical readiness, either from the certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) clinical educators' or the SRNAs' experiences. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of CRNA clinical coordinators and SRNAs regarding clinical readiness as the students transition from classroom to clinical training.

Surgical site infection (SSI) is a common preventable iatrogenic infection following surgery with an approximated overall occurrence of 2-4%. Despite numerous studies, controversies still exist regarding the efficacy, safety, and cost effectiveness of strategies to decrease SSI. The World Health Organization issued recommendations for the prevention of SSIs including oxygenation with 80% fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO).
