Awareness, preconception, and fear of epidural analgesia among childbearing women in Saudi Arabia: An observational cross-sectional study
Conclusion: This study results demonstrate a good level of desirability toward using EDA for labor pain, yet there is a limited level of preconceptions and a low level of awareness and knowledge about EDA. In addition, the results showed that the average percentage of fear is 44.6%. Therefore, we suggest that more awareness, knowledge, and guidance about EDA should be provided to pregnant women through antenatal clinics. Furthermore, educational campaigns should be made to dispel misconceptions and fears about EDA. (Source: Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia)

Can low dose of intratracheal dexmedetomidine be used to attenuate peri-extubation cough ? - A prospective, double-blinded, randomized clinical trial
Conclusion: We conclude that both 0.3 mic/kg and 0.5 mic/kg of dexmedetomidine when given intratracheally are effective in preventing peri-extubation cough. Further, 0.3 mic/kg dexmedetomidine showed a better recovery profile compared to 0.5 mic/kg dexmedetomidine when administered intratracheally. (Source: Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia)

A low peripheral perfusion index can accurately detect prolonged capillary refill time during general anesthesia: A prospective observational study
Conclusion: A PI <1.8 could accurately predict a low perfusion status during general anesthesia in the operating room. A PI <1.8 could be used to alert the possibility of a low perfusion status in the operating room.

The role of point of care thromboelastography (TEG) and thromboelastometry (ROTEM) in management of Primary postpartum haemorrhage: A meta-analysis and systematic review
Conclusions: Point of care viscoelastic assessment guided transfusion in PPH confederates with reduced morbidity. Nevertheless, more studies on the triggering values for transfusion, long-term survival, and cost-benefit in patients with PPH are warranted to establish its utility.

Preprocedural ultrasonography as an adjunct to landmark technique for identification of epidural space in parturients for labor analgesia
Conclusion: Preprocedural ultrasonography is a simple safe,accurate tool with less number of attempts to determine the needle insertion site, decrease the incidence of accidental dural punctures, and assess epidural space depth in parturients. (Source: Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia)
