Background: Appendicectomy is a common procedure in children. Regional anaesthesia helps reduce requirements for opioids and hospital stay and enhances recovery. Laparoscopic-assisted Transversus Abdominus Plane block (L-TAP) was shown to be efficient and potentially superior to port site infiltration (PSI); however, this was not previously studied in paediatric appendicitis.

Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are widely employed as primary non-surgical cancer treatments; however, their non-selective cytotoxicity often leads to adverse events such as oral mucositis (OM), particularly in head and neck cancer therapies. International guidelines provide recommendations for managing chemoradiotherapy-induced OM in various clinical contexts. Subsequently, emerging researches have introduced evidence supporting novel approaches or existing regimens for OM prevention and treatment.

Different additives have been used to improve the duration and quality of analgesia of the local anaesthetic used in the single-dose caudal block technique, such as opioids, epinephrine, clonidine, neostigmine, etc. Dexmedetomidine is a potent and a highly selective α2-adrenergic agonist having a sympatholytic, sedative, and analgesic effect and has been described as a safe and effective additive in many anaesthetic and analgesic techniques. Another agent is Fentanyl, a lipophilic opioid, is added frequently to local anaesthetics which least likely to cause respiratory depression when given extradurally, because of its high lipid solubility.

Introduction: Shivering affects 52 % of patients undergoing caesarean delivery under neuraxial anaesthesia. Despite extensive research focused on its prevention, there is still no consensus regarding optimal pharmacological treatment. This systematic review and network meta-analysis aims to compare available intravenous treatments of perioperative shivering in patients undergoing caesarean delivery under neuraxial anaesthesia.

Background: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is minimally invasive, ambulatory endoscopic surgical procedure usually performed in most paranasal sinus diseases. Controlled hypotension during anaesthesia (hypotensive anesthesia) improves surgical field visibility and reduces risk of injuring surrounding structures. Clonidine (C) and dexmedetomidine (D) are both used to reduce blood pressure and heart rate while maintaining tissue perfusion.
