Article Abstract
Objective: Emergence agitation (EA) is a common and challenging postoperative problem in children. We aim to investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus block on emergence agitation in children undergoing hip surgery.
Methods: This prospective, randomized, controlled study was conducted in children aged 1-6 year undergoing elective hip surgery. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive either ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus block combined with general anesthesia (Group Block, = 172) or routine general anesthesia (Group Control, = 172). The primary outcome was the incidence of EA at 30 min after emergence from general anesthesia, assessed using the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale. The secondary outcomes included the incidence of severe EA, postoperative pain evaluated by the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (CHEOPS) and the incidence of postoperative adverse complications.
Results: The incidence of EA was significantly lower in Group Block than in Group Control (13.4% vs. 44.2%, < 0.001). Group Block had a lower incidence of severe EA than Group Control (3.5% vs. 19.1%, < 0.001). CHEOPS was lower in Group Block than in Group Control [mean (95%CI), 4.4(4.3-4.5) vs.4.9 (4.8-5.0), < 0.001].
Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus block could effectively decrease the incidence and severity of emergence agitation in children undergoing hip surgery.

Background: With ultrasound-guided nerve block technology being increasingly used in hip surgery, the choice between fascia iliaca block (FIB) and lumbar plexus block (LPB) is still inconclusive. This study aims to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of FIB and LPB in hip surgery.
Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and CNKI were searched from inception to October 4, 2022.

Background: Low back pain is a prevalent issue with various etiologies, one of which includes pars interarticularis (pars) defects. While traditional fluoroscopic guidance has been the standard for administering injections, both fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided injections for the management of low back pain have been shown to be similar in efficacy. The benefits of ultrasound guidance include real-time visualization, reduced radiation exposure, and improved patient access.

Introduction: Effective pain management is essential for patients undergoing limb-sparing procedures as well as amputation in patients with cancer.
Objectives: This study evaluated the analgesic effects of the ultrasound-guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca block (SIFIB) and the ultrasound-guided lumbar erector spinae plane block (L-ESPB) in patients who underwent oncologic thigh surgery.
Methods: Seventy-five patients with thigh cancers and ASA class II, III were randomized into 3 groups: SIFIB, ESPB, and control groups.

Introduction: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with severe pain. We examined whether an ultrasound-guided, single-injection L2 erector spinae plane block could improve analgesia compared to an ultrasound-guided iPACK (infiltration between the popliteal artery and capsule of the knee) block with adductor canal block (ACB) in patients undergoing TKA under spinal anesthesia.
Material And Methods: Ninety patients aged 65-89 years of both sexes (ASA I-III) scheduled for TKA were randomly allocated to receive iPACK block (ropivacaine 0.
