The minimum effective concentration (MEC90) of bupivacaine for an ultrasound-guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block for analgesia in knee surgery: a dose-finding study
CONCLUSION: Our study showed that the MEC90 and MEC95 values for bupivacaine administered via an SFICB for analgesia were 0.123% and 0.188%, respectively. One advantage of using lower concentrations of bupivacaine is the associated reduction in quadriceps weakness.PMID:38480982 | DOI:10.4097/kja.23710 (Source: Korean Journal of Anesthesiology)

Comparison of analgesic effects between programmed intermittent epidural boluses and continuous epidural infusion after cesarean section: a randomized controlled study
CONCLUSION: PIEB provides superior analgesia with less motor blockade than CEI in postpartum women after CS, without any apparent adverse events.PMID:38481356 | DOI:10.4097/kja.23726 (Source: Korean Journal of Anesthesiology)

Comparison of lung aeration loss in open abdominal oncologic surgeries after ventilation with electrical impedance tomography-guided PEEP versus conventional PEEP: a pilot feasibility study
CONCLUSIONS: Individualized PEEP appears to protect against lung aeration loss and intraoperative oxygenation deterioration. The advantage was greater in patients whose individualized PEEP deviated more from the conventional PEEP.PMID:38438222 | DOI:10.4097/kja.23858 (Source: Korean Journal of Anesthesiology)
