ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare anesthesiology residents' acquisition of gripping and needling skills in either single-or double-operator ultrasound-guided nerve block using a hand-made phantom. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized controlled study. METHODS: After a tutorial session, 47 ultrasound-novice residents performed needling with double and single operator (Jedi, Bedforth, On-lock) grip techniques in each of the 3 interventional task sessions. RESULTS: The time to perform the correct grip and needling decreased significantly between sessions for each technique (P < .001). While the double operator tasks required a shorter time than the single operator tasks in all 3 sessions (P < .001), there was no significant difference between the single-operator techniques. The number of needling attempts was similar between techniques and sessions. Participants rated the workload higher for the single-operator techniques on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index. CONCLUSION: Hands-on training of phantom models may be beneficial for the acquisition of single-operator grip skills.

ABSTRACT

Introduction This prospective, randomized controlled study aimed to investigate the efficacy and respiratory effects of postoperative pain management with an erector spinae plane block in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Methods Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I-II patients aged 18-65 years, scheduled to undergo percutaneous nephrolithotomy, were randomized either to the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) or control group. Fifteen mL 0.5% bupivacaine at the T11 level was administered preoperatively using the in-plane technique in the ESPB group. In both groups, 1 gr of intravenous paracetamol was administered intraoperatively. Postoperative pain and agitation were evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS), dynamic VAS at zero, six, and 24 hours, and the Riker sedation-agitation scale at the 0th hour after surgery. Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and oxygen saturation (SpO2) were measured in preoperative examination and at the 0th, 6th, and 24th hours postoperatively. The time and number of the analgesic requirement, mobilization, and discharge time were also recorded. Results A significantly lower VAS and dynamic VAS were observed at the 0th, 6th, and 24th hours in the ESPB group (p<0.05 for each timepoint). The postoperative/preoperative PEFR ratio was lower and there were more agitated patients in the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion An erector spinae plane block may have additional clinical advantages while providing effective analgesia in patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy compared to intravenous analgesia.
