Purpose: The purpose was to determine the effects of the balloon inflation and cough trick methods on easing pain in children during the drawing of venous blood samples.
Design And Methods: In this prospective randomized controlled study, 9- to 12-year-old children in the intervention groups were asked to cough or inflate balloons during the venipuncture procedure. The Faces Pain Scale-Revised was used to assess pain intensity.
Results: Pain intensity significantly differed between the control (n = 44) and intervention groups (balloon inflation [n = 44] and cough trick [n = 44], p < .001).
Practice Implications: Coughing and inflating balloons during venipuncture do not require preparation and are time saving, easy, accessible, and effective in reducing pain.

Cervical balloon catheter versus Dilapan-S for outpatient cervical ripening: A randomized controlled trial.
Am J Obstet Gynecol MFM

Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Background: As induction of labor increases in the United States, safe, effective outpatient cervical ripening has been explored as a method to decrease the inpatient time burden. The most effective method of outpatient mechanical cervical ripening remains unclear.
Objective: To evaluate if Dilapan-S is non-inferior to cervical balloon for outpatient cervical ripening (CR) based on change in Bishop score.

Objectives: The Wolverine cutting balloon (CB) (Boston Scientific) is a specialized balloon catheter with microsurgical blades that is used for balloon-resistant lesions. The Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database serves as a repository for reports of medical device complications. The aim of this study was to analyze complications associated with CB use during percutaneous coronary intervention in real-world contemporary practice.

Foley balloons have been used to secure emergency hemostasis for cardiac or vascular injuries since the 1960s. However, using a single large balloon may have drawbacks, such as insufficient hemostasis and blood flow impairment. We have encountered 3 major intraoperative laceration cases since 2011.

Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul National University College of Medicine, 101 Daehak-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, 03080, Republic of Korea.
Background: Several methods for blindly positioning bronchial blockers (BBs) for one-lung ventilation (OLV) have been proposed. However, these methods do not reliably ensure accurate positioning and proper direction. Here, we developed a clinically applicable two-stage maneuver by modifying a previously reported one-stage maneuver for successful insertion of a BB at the appropriate depth and direction in patients requiring lung isolation where a flexible bronchoscope (FOB) is not applicable.

Aims: This study aims to verify the feasibility and safety of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after a distal transradial approach (dTRA) with radial artery occlusion (RAO) recanalization.
Methods: Between July 2018 and January 2022, 30 patients underwent PCI following attempted RAO recanalization via dTRA. Among these cases, the target radial arteries could not be recanalized in five patients, necessitating alternative vascular access.
