Cricothyroidotomy competence and injuries using nonmedical equipment: A crossover noninferiority randomised controlled trial in a porcine cadaver model
CONCLUSION
Regularly trained anaesthetists are able to accomplish cricothyroidotomy irrespective of the equipment used. A pocketknife with a ballpoint pen barrel was just as effective as a commercially available surgical set. (Source: European Journal of Anaesthesiology)

DESIGN
A prospective, single-centre, parallel randomised controlled trial.
SETTING
Operating room and PACU at a hospital in China from June to September 2019.
PATIENTS
Four hundred and eight patients aged 18 to 65 years with American Society of Anaesthesiologists physical sta...

Ultrasound-guided versus conventional lung recruitment manoeuvres in laparoscopic gynaecological surgery: A randomised controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS
The use of ultrasound-guided recruitment manoeuvres improves peri-operative lung aeration; these effects may persist in the postanaesthesia care unit. However, the long-term effects of ultrasound-guided recruitment manoeuvres on clinical outcomes should be the subject of future trials.

Ultrasound increases the success rate of spinal needle placement through the epidural needle during combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia: A randomised controlled study
BACKGROUND
Combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia (CSEA) using a needle-through-needle technique is currently widely used. However, successful epidural needle placement does not mean a successful spinal needle placement during CSEA. Whether ultrasound assistance could increase the first-pass success rate of spinal needle placement for CSEA remains unknown.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate if ultrasound assistance could increase the first-pass success rate of spinal needle placement through the epidural needle during CSEA performed by experienced anaesthesiologists in patients undergoing caesarean...

European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Guidelines on peri-operative use of ultrasound for regional anaesthesia (PERSEUS regional anesthesia): Peripheral nerves blocks and neuraxial anaesthesia
Nowadays, ultrasound-guidance is commonly used in regional anaesthesia (USGRA) and to locate the spinal anatomy in neuraxial analgesia. The aim of this second guideline on the PERi-operative uSE of UltraSound (PERSEUS-RA) is to provide evidence as to which areas of regional anaesthesia the use of ultrasound guidance should be considered a gold standard or beneficial to the patient. The PERSEUS Taskforce members were asked to define relevant outcomes and rank the relative importance of outcomes following the GRADE process. Whenever the literature was not able to provide enough evidence, we decided to use the RAND method wit...

Effects of digital learning in anaesthesiology: A systematic review and meta-analysis
BACKGROUND
Digital methods of instruction have proven to be effective in assisting learning in many fields at various levels. However, none of the meta-analyses have studied the effects of digital learning vs. traditional learning in the field of anaesthesiology.
OBJECTIVE
We conducted a meta-analysis to review the role of digital learning in anaesthesiology by comparing the effect sizes of the involved studies.
DESIGN
A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials and assessment of the quality of evidence by the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument.

Incidence of gastric insufflation at high compared with low laryngeal mask cuff pressure: A randomised controlled cross-over trial
BACKGROUND
The success of ventilation with a laryngeal mask depends crucially on the seal between the mask and the periglottic tissue. Increasing the laryngeal mask's cuff volume is known to reduce oral air leakage but may lead to gastric insufflation.
OBJECTIVE
We hypothesised that a lower cuff pressure would result in less gastric insufflation. We sought to compare gastric insufflation with laryngeal mask cuff pressures of 20 cmH2O (CP20) and 60 cmH2O (CP60) during increasing peak airway pressures in a randomised controlled double-blind cross-over study. We also evaluated the incidence of gastric insufflat...

Serratus anterior plane block for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: A meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
BACKGROUND
The serratus anterior plane block (SAPb) is a promising interfascial plane technique able to provide profound thoracic analgesia. As only a few studies with quite small patient samples are presently available, the analgesic efficacy of adding SAPb to general anaesthesia in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), compared with general anaesthesia only, remains unclear.
OBJECTIVES
Our primary aim was to assess the analgesic efficacy of SAPb for VATS peri-operative pain control. The secondary aims were to evaluate differences in postoperative opioid use, intra-operative hypotension, postoperative si...
