Central venous catheterization (CVC) is a frequent procedure, practiced by intensivists, anesthesiologists and advanced practice nurses in intensive care units and operative rooms. To reduce CVC-associated morbidity, it is essential to strive for best practices, based on the latest evidence. This narrative review aims to synthesize current knowledge on evidence-based best practices for CVC that improve the use and feasibility of real-time ultrasound-guided insertion procedures. Optimization of the vein puncture technique and the development of new technologies are discussed to reinforce the use of the subclavian vein catheterization as first choice. The search for alternative site of insertions, without increasing infectious and thrombotic risks, deserves further research.

Fracture surgeries are frequently accompanied by severe pain, necessitating efficacious pain management strategies to enhance postoperative recovery. Nerve block techniques, which are critical in mitigating pain, involve the targeted administration of local anesthetics to disrupt nerve signal transmission, thereby achieving significant analgesia. Traditionally, these techniques rely on anatomical landmarks and the clinician's expertise, which can introduce variability and potential risks.

This study evaluates the feasibility of Apple Vision Pro goggles as an augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation tool for laparoscopic-assisted ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of liver tumors. Traditional RFA is effective but challenging due to the integration of multiple imaging modalities. The primary aim of this research is to assess how Vision Pro goggles can enhance the surgical navigation process during RFA, improving tumor localization and the overall effectiveness of the procedure.

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a cornerstone in minimally invasive thoracic lymph node sampling. In lung cancer staging, precise assessment of lymph node position is crucial for clinical decision-making. This study aimed to demonstrate a new deep learning method to classify thoracic lymph nodes based on their anatomical location using EBUS images.

Objective: This review explores recent advancements in anesthesia care, focusing on the integration of innovative practices to enhance patient outcomes across the perioperative period.
Methods: Following the framework of Whitmore and Knafl, we systematically searched six databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, CINAHL, OVID, and Cochrane Library) for studies published from January 2020 to January 2024, relating to advancements in anesthesia care, best practice implementation, and patient outcomes. After independent screening and data extraction by two reviewers, the review focuses on innovations in anesthetic drugs, monitoring technologies, anesthesia techniques, and evidence-based practices in anesthesia and clinical guidelines.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of a novel retrograde ultrasound-guided A1 pulley release technique for the treatment of trigger thumb. We conducted a retrospective, single-center study of 42 patients who underwent ultrasound-guided A1 pulley release for clinically diagnosed trigger thumb between September 2022 and December 2023. All cases were graded according to the Green classification of trigger finger severity.
