Background: The effectiveness and safety of preoperative oral carbohydrate (POC) for people with diabetes remain controversial.
Methods: We systematically reviewed studies comparing POC to fasting or placebo in elective surgery for diabetic adults, focusing on gastric volume, postoperative complications, hospital stay, and glycemic control.
Results: Fourteen studies (n = 1870 patients) were included.
Background: While numerous studies have examined the influence of perineural dexamethasone on nerve block duration, its potential impact on postoperative nerve injury has not been adequately addressed.
Objective: This study aims to elucidate the effect of perineural dexamethasone on nerve injury and nerve function recovery after surgery.
Design: A prospective randomized double-blinded trial.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared the effects of three ultrasound-guided nerve blocks on post-operative recovery in women undergoing mastectomy for breast cancer.
- Patients were divided into three groups: serratus anterior plane block (S), paravertebral block (P), and a combination of serratus anterior with transverse thoracic muscle plane block (ST).
- Results showed that the S group had lower recovery quality scores and higher pain scores than the other two groups, indicating that P and ST blocks were more effective for improving early post-operative recovery and pain management.
