The efficacy and safety of opioid-free anesthesia combined with ultrasound-guided intermediate cervical plexus block vs. opioid-based anesthesia in thyroid surgery —a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionCompared with opioid-based anesthesia, the OFA combined with the ultrasound-guided ICPB can better improve patients' postoperative recovery, reduce nausea, and decrease pain scores.Trial registrationChinese Clinical Trial Regisrty, ChiCTR2200056344,https://www.chictr.org.cn (Source: Journal of Anesthesia)

Continuous cardiac output estimation using a new modified Fick method during off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery: a retrospective observational study
ConclusionsThe original Fick method is not reliable when oxygen extraction is low, but a modification using data-driven approach could enable continuous estimation of cardiac output during the dynamic intraoperative period with minimal bias. However, further improvements in precision and trending ability are needed. (Source: Journal of Anesthesia)

Programmed intermittent epidural bolus in maintenance of epidural labor analgesia: a literature review
AbstractProgrammed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB), administered by the infusion pump programmed to deliver boluses of epidural solution at certain intervals, is gradually gaining more attention as a technique to maintain the labor analgesia in recent years. Many studies find that it may have some advantages when compared with other methods. However, its exact effectiveness and optimal regimen are still unclear. We conducted a literature search in PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews for studies published between January 2010 and June 2022. Of the 263 publications identified, 27 studies we...
