Transversus abdominis plane block with different bupivacaine concentrations in children undergoing unilateral inguinal hernia repair: A single-blind randomized clinical trial

BACKGROUND: Current knowledge on the ideal local anesthetic concentration for the ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) in pediatrics is scarce. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of US-guided TAPB at two different concentrations of bupivacaine in pediatrics undergoing unilateral inguinal hernia repair. METHODS: After random allocation, 74 children aged 1-8 were randomized to receive US-guided TAPB by using 1 mg.kg RESULTS: Sixty-four children were recruited for the study. Postoperative pain scores were equal between the two groups. There was no need for a rescue analgesic in any group after the postoperative 6 CONCLUSION: TAPB using 1 mg.kg TRIAL REGISTRATION: This trial was retrospectively registered at Clinicaltrals.gov , NCT04202367

The frequency, risk factors, and complications of gastrointestinal dysfunction during enteral nutrition in critically ill patients

Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders in intensive care patients remain relatively unexplored. Nowadays, the frequency, risk factors and complications of GI dysfunction during enteral nutrition (EN) become more questionable
