Introduction: Subdural haematoma (SDH) is rare following spinal anaesthesia and has not been reported previously in an infant. Non-accidental injury is the commonest cause of subdural haematoma in infants.
Methods: We describe two cases of SDH following spinal anaesthesia in infants.
Results: In both cases, forensic investigation was commenced and no evidence of child abuse was found. Both children are well 2 years after diagnosis.
Conclusion: Paediatric health workers should be aware of the possibility of SDH after spinal anaesthesia and consider this as a differential diagnosis when investigating possible non-accidental injury in an infant.

Objectives: After cesarean, optimal analgesia is important for early mobilization, mitigating thromboembolic risks, and mother-infant communication. Our study aims to compare the postoperative analgesic effects of intrathecal morphine (ITM) and Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) in elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
Methods: 82 patients were randomized into ESPB and ITM groups.

Introduction: Patient positioning for spinal anaesthesia in patients with femur fracture is extremely painful and various methods have been tried to reduce mobilisation pain.
Aim: To compare the analgesic efficacy of intravenous dexmedetomidine, ketamine and femoral nerve block in patients posted for fractured femur for alleviating the positional pain before spinal anaesthesia.
Materials And Methods: A total of 75 patients (25 per group) of American Society of Anaesthetists Grade I-III patients of age group 18-80 years with fractured femur scheduled for elective surgery.

Aims: Communication within glial cells acts as a pivotal intermediary factor in modulating neuroimmune pathology. Meanwhile, an increasing awareness has emerged regarding the detrimental role of glial cells and neuroinflammation in morphine tolerance (MT). This study investigated the influence of crosstalk between astrocyte and microglia on the evolution of morphine tolerance.

Background: The use of local anesthetics (LA) in individuals with Brugada syndrome (BrS) remains a subject of debate due to the lack of large-scale studies confirming their potential risks. This study primarily aimed to evaluate the incidence of new malignant arrhythmias or defibrillation events in patients diagnosed with BrS during the perioperative period, following the administration of local anesthetics, and within 30 days postoperatively. The secondary objective was to analyze the occurrence of adverse effects during hospitalization, as well as 30-day readmission and mortality rates.
