<![CDATA[Cesarean section is a major surgical procedure frequently associated with significant postoperative pain, which may delay mobilization and prolong hospital stay, particularly in rural hospitals with limited healthcare resources. Wound infiltration with local anesthetic represents a simple and practical analgesic component within the multimodal pain management strategy of the Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean Surgery (ERACS) pathway. This case series describes ten parturients scheduled for elective cesarean section with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status II and body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m2. All patients received regional anesthesia using subarachnoid block without intrathecal adjuvants. Local wound infiltration was performed before skin closure using 0.2% isobaric bupivacaine with adrenaline (1:200,000) along the incision margins. Postoperative outcomes included pain intensity was assessed by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 2, 4, and 6 hours, as well as postoperative nausea and vomiting, early ambulation, early initiation of breastfeeding and length of hospital stay. Across all cases, low early postoperative pain scores were observed, with VAS score ≤ 2 during the first 4 hours and decreasing to 1 at 6 hours postoperatively. Eight patients achieved early ambulation and successfully initiated breastfeeding within 24 hours. Two patients experienced postoperative nausea and vomiting, which delayed mobilization and prolonged hospital stay beyond 24 hours. No wound complications or signs of local anesthetic systemic toxicity were observed. In this rural hospital setting, wound infiltration with bupivacaine and adrenaline was associated with favorable early postoperative outcomes and appears to be feasible, low-resource adjunct within ERACS protocols to support early recovery after cesarean delivery.]]>

<![CDATA[Supraclavicular block (SCB) is a well-established regional anesthesia technique for upper limb surgery; however, its application in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving antiplatelet therapy presents distinct clinical challenges. This case is noteworthy because of the coexistence of ESRD, ongoing clopidogrel therapy, anemia, and potential respiratory compromise, all of which complicate anesthetic decision-making. We report a 44-year-old female with ESRD on regular hemodialysis who sustained a comminuted intra-articular distal humerus fracture and underwent open reduction and internal fixation under ultrasound-guided SCB. The block was performed using 15 mL of 0.75% ropivacaine with dexamethasone as an adjuvant, following careful consideration of bleeding risk, local anesthetic dosing, and pneumothorax prevention. The procedure provided effective intraoperative anesthesia and prolonged postoperative analgesia without neurological, respiratory, or bleeding complications. Postoperative pain scores remained low, opioid consumption was minimal, and motor function recovered uneventfully. This case highlights that ultrasound-guided SCB can be safely and effectively performed in carefully selected ESRD patients receiving antiplatelet therapy when meticulous technique, dose justification, and risk mitigation strategies are applied. The key learning point is the importance of individualized anesthetic planning rather than a generalized preference for regional over general anesthesia.]]>

<![CDATA[Tetanus is an acute infectious disease caused by Clostridium tetani and remains associated with high mortality, particularly in severe cases requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The neurotoxin tetanospasmin induces persistent muscle spasms, autonomic dysfunction, and respiratory failure, rendering ICU management complex and resource-intensive. This narrative review aims to synthesize current evidence on multimodal supportive care strategies that improve clinical outcomes in patients with severe tetanus managed in the ICU. This literature review identifies several interrelated components as central to successful management, including early airway control and mechanical ventilation, optimized sedation and spasm control using benzodiazepines, magnesium sulfate, and selected adjuvant agents, targeted nutritional and metabolic support through early enteral feeding, prevention of ICU-related complications, and early rehabilitation to mitigate ICU-acquired weakness. Collectively, evidence indicates that a comprehensive, evidence-based supportive care approach improves hemodynamic stability, reduces complication rates, and facilitates functional recovery in patients with severe tetanus.]]>

<![CDATA[Emergency neurosurgical procedures in geriatric patients with an anticipated difficult airway pose major anesthetic challenges due to limited physiological reserve and the risk of hemodynamic instability during general anesthesia. We report the use of a scalp nerve block (SNB) as the primary anesthetic technique for urgent external ventricular drain (EVD) placement in a female patient in her mid-70s with intracerebral hemorrhage and obstructive hydrocephalus. She presented with decreased consciousness and a LEMON score of 6, indicating a high likelihood of difficult airway, and was classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status IIIE. Given the elevated intracranial pressure and anticipated difficulty in airway management, SNB with lidocaine and dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant was performed under standard monitoring. The procedure was completed uneventfully, with stable hemodynamics and adequate analgesia, without the need for airway manipulation or conversion to general anesthesia. This case highlights that SNB may be a feasible alternative anesthetic approach for selected high-risk geriatric patients undergoing EVD placement, particularly when airway intervention may be hazardous or when advanced airway and critical care resources are limited. Further reports and larger studies are required to determine safety and generalizability.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Weaning from mechanical ventilation is a critical step in intensive care, and inaccurate assessment may increase the risk of complications. The rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) is widely used to evaluate weaning readiness but does not directly assess diaphragmatic function. Diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF), measured by bedside ultrasound, has been proposed as an additional predictor of weaning success. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of DTF and RSBI in mechanically ventilated ICU patients. Patients and Methods: This prospective diagnostic accuracy study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Denpasar, Indonesia, from September to December 2022, in accordance with STARD 2015 guidelines. Adult patients aged 18–65 years who received invasive mechanical ventilation for >24 hours and were considered ready for weaning were included. RSBI and right-sided DTF were measured at the fifth minute of a spontaneous breathing trial. Weaning success was defined as extubation without reintubation, noninvasive ventilation, or death within 48 hours. Results: Fifty-six patients were included, of whom 73.2% achieved successful weaning. DTF demonstrated high sensitivity (95.4%) and moderate specificity (75.0%), with a positive predictive value of 93.3% and a negative predictive value of 81.8%. RSBI showed sensitivity of 97.5% and specificity of 80.0%, with higher discriminative performance (AUC 0.88 vs 0.79). Confidence intervals and statistical comparisons between AUCs were not performed. Conclusion: Both RSBI and DTF were associated with weaning success. RSBI demonstrated superior overall diagnostic performance and remains the primary assessment tool. DTF may provide additional physiological information on diaphragmatic function and serve as a complementary parameter during weaning assessment.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: General anesthesia induction-related hypotension is common and is associated with postoperative organ injury. Dynamic indices derived from echocardiography may help identify patients at risk, although stroke volume variation (SVV) is conventionally more robust under controlled mechanical ventilation than during spontaneous breathing. We investigated whether pre-induction transthoracic echocardiography-derived SVV was associated with arterial pressure 10 min after induction in adult elective non-cardiac surgical patients. Patients and Methods: This single-centre cross-sectional observational study enrolled consecutive adult patients undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery with general anesthesia at a tertiary hospital (August–September 2022). Pre-induction SVV was measured in the supine position using the left ventricular outflow tract method during standardized spontaneous breathing. Anesthesia was induced with propofol 1.5 mg kg−1, fentanyl 2 µg kg−1, and atracurium 0.5 mg kg−1. Non-invasive arterial pressure was recorded for 10 min after induction. The prespecified primary outcomes were systolic blood pressure (SBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 10 min. Spearman’s rank correlation was used. Results: Sixty-four patients were analysed (mean age 48.4 yr; 57.8% male; 62.5% ASA physical status II). Mean pre-induction SVV was 13.4% (SD 4.3). Mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) decreased from 116.1 (7.9) mmHg pre-induction to 93.3 (6.3) mmHg at 10 min; mean arterial pressure (MAP) from 93.4 (12.3) to 76.8 (6.1) mmHg. Higher pre-induction SVV correlated with lower SBP at 10 min (Spearman r = −0.494; 95% CI −0.660 to −0.282; P < 0.001) and lower MAP at 10 min (r = −0.676; 95% CI −0.790 to −0.516; P < 0.001). Conclusion: Pre-induction transthoracic echocardiography-derived SVV was associated with lower arterial pressure 10 min after induction. Because the study was observational and measurements were obtained during spontaneous breathing, the findings should be interpreted as hypothesis-generating and warrant confirmation in prospective studies.]]>

<![CDATA[This editorial underscores the increasing centrality of regional anesthesia in contemporary anesthesiology, as reflected in the current issue. Peripheral nerve blocks and ultrasound-guided techniques are highlighted as key drivers of a broader shift toward precision, safety, and patient-centered perioperative care. Regional anesthesia has evolved beyond its traditional role, contributing to improved postoperative outcomes through optimized analgesia, reduced opioid use, and enhanced recovery. The integration of ultrasound has further strengthened accuracy, reproducibility, and educational value in clinical practice. However, the expansion of these techniques must be supported by adequate training, standardization, and vigilant attention to patient safety. Overall, this issue illustrates an evolving discipline in which innovation must remain aligned with evidence-based practice and clinically meaningful outcomes.]]>
