Detrimental effects of poorly controlled acute pain after abdominal surgery range from patient suffering, distress, respiratory complications, delirium, myocardial ischaemia, prolonged hospital stay and an increased likelihood of chronic pain. Traditionally, patients undergoing major abdominal surgery have received systemic drugs, such as opioids, ketamine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ...

this report summarizes the results of 64 percutaneous catheter drainage of abdominal abscesses and fluid collections in 56 patients. aspiration and drainage was guided with computed tomography in 34 patients and with ultrasound in 30 patients. success rate was 90%. infected collections were successfully drained in 94% and noninfected collections in 72% . partial success was achieved in two pati...

Background: Ultrasound imaging techniques have gained great popularity in anaesthesia during the last decade. We aimed to compare an ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and caudal for postoperative analgesia children undergoing lower abdominal surgeries. Methods: This study randomly allocated 62 two groups of 31 each. One group received a with 0.25% bupivacaine 0.5 ml/kg 1...

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Persistence of pain in the postoperative thoracic region is very common with conventional analgesia performed only opioids, which prolongs recovery, increasing costs and morbidity. Erector spinae plane blockage a promising technique for analgesic control period cardiac surgeries. The purpose this study was to describe case erector provided adequate control. C...

OBJECTIVE To determine the relative efficacy of ultrasound-guided embryo transfer and embryo transfer by clinical touch alone. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials comparing ultrasound-guided embryo transfer with embryo transfer by clinical touch alone. SETTING Infertility centers providing treatment with in vitro fertilization/embryo transfer. PATIE...

BACKGROUND Double injection of blood into cisterna magna using a rabbit model results in cerebral vasospasm. An unacceptably high mortality rate tends to limit the application of model. Ultrasound guided puncture can provide real-time imaging guidance for operation. The aim of this paper is to establish a safe and effective rabbit model of cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage with t...

Fused real-time ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used to improve the accuracy of advanced image guided procedures. However, its use in regional anesthesia is practically nonexistent. In this randomized controlled crossover trial, we aim to explore effectiveness, procedure-related outcomes, injectate spread analyzed by MRI, and safety of ultrasound/MRI fusion versus ultraso...
