Patients were divided into three groups of 30 each. During SAD insertion, the table height was adjusted so that the patient’s forehead was at the level of 5 cm above the xiphoid process in group I, at the level of the xiphoid process in group II, and at the level of 5 cm below the xiphoid process in group III of the anesthesiologist. We measured SAD insertion time, first attempt success rate, ease of insertion, and anesthesiologist comfort during the procedure.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 The SAD insertion time (in seconds) was lower in group III than in groups I and II, and a significant difference was found between the groups (P < 0.05). The mean ease of insertion score, anesthesiologist comfort, and the first-attempt success rate of SAD insertion were higher in group III than in groups I and II, and the difference among the groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05).\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 We conclude that the lower table height with the patient’s forehead at the level of 5 cm below the xiphoid process of the anesthesiologist is ergonomically more efficient during SAD (I-gel) insertion.

As a method of pain management, multimodal analgesia is commonly used. In recent years, interfascial plane blocks like erector spine plane block (ESPB), retrolaminar block (RLB), transverse thoracic plane block, and pectointercostal plane block have been increasingly utilized as important components of acute postoperative pain management in truncal surgeries. Here, we reviewed the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided retrolaminar block in patients undergoing truncal surgeries. The primary objective of this review was total opioid consumption within 24 hours of the postoperative period. The secondary objectives were postoperative pain score, time to first analgesic requirement, and adverse effects. All articles relevant to the retrolaminar block were searched in six major databases (PubMed, Embase, Medline, Ovid, PMC, and Google Scholar). A total of 706 records were identified, out of which only 11 kinds of literature were included in this review article, based on our inclusion criteria. The published literature suggests that retrolaminar (RLB) provides more effective analgesia in comparison to the erector spinae block (ESP), is associated with reduced opioid consumption and numeric rating scale (NRS) score, and is not inferior to paravertebral (PVB). There is an evidence that a retrolaminar block can effectively relieve pain during truncal surgery. RLB had a lower rate of complications, was simpler to perform, and required shorter hospital stays.","PeriodicalId":508221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology","volume":"103 32","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141820754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
