In this study, we aimed to compare 2 regional techniques used to decrease perioperative pain. Methods In this parallel group randomized controlled clinical trial we enrolled 68 patients from both sexes scheduled for hip surgery after femoral neck fractures. The patients were randomly allocated to 2 equal groups with one receiving ultrasound- guided supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block (FIB) and the other receiving ultrasound- guided anterior quadratus lumborum block (QLB). Our primary outcome was the duration of postoperative analgesia. The secondary outcome was measuring the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) during patient positioning while applying the neuraxial block, the total analgesic requirement in the postoperative period, patient satisfaction in the postoperative period, and the frequency of adverse effects. Results The group receiving supra-inguinal FIB had a significantly longer time of postoperative analgesia 18 (4–24), compared to the group receiving anterior QLB 2 (1–24), P = 0.005. They consumed less morphine throughout 24 hours postoperatively, 5.3 ± 0.9 mg compared to 6.9 ± 1.87 mg (95% CI: 6.45–3.92, P = 0.008), and they showed less pain during positioning for spinal anaesthesia. Conclusions Supra-inguinal FIB provides prolonged postoperative analgesia compared to anterior QLB in patients undergoing hip surgery. It was associated with less pain during positioning in spinal anaesthesia and decreased total morphine consumption.","PeriodicalId":7750,"journal":{"name":"Anaesthesiology intensive therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/61/98/AIT-55-51279.PMC10496094.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41107052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This population of patients is transferred from acute care facilities where they have been deemed “non-weanable” and require prolonged ventilation. Methods Admissions to our CVF were audited over a period of 3 years. We collected demographic and outcome data as well as the patients’ length of stay and disposition. Weaning in our centre proceeds step-wise with a reduction in the adaptive support ventilation (ASV) minute ventilation target. Once the target reaches 50% of minute ventilation, spontaneous breathing trials are introduced and progressively lengthened until the patient is weaned. Results In total, 125 patients were admitted during the 3 years. 109 were not weaned, and 16 were weaned, i.e. 12.8% of patients were safely weaned off mechanical ventilation. Of the patients not weaned, the mortality rate was 34.8%, and 38.5% were discharged alive to either home or another facility. Conclusions Weaning chronically ventilated patients is possible without intensivists or respiratory therapists on staff when a standardised approach/manner is implemented. However, weaning success appears to be mainly related to patients’ co-morbidities.","PeriodicalId":7750,"journal":{"name":"Anaesthesiology intensive therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45839560","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}
