Epidemiology and outcome of postural headache management in spontaneous intracranial hypotension.

abstract：:Conventional opioids are widely used for acute pain management in the postoperative setting. However, a primary concern with conventional opioids is their therapeutic window-the range between doses that produce the desired therapeutic effect (analgesia) and doses that produce unwanted opioid-related adverse events (OR...

abstract：BACKGROUND:The ideal spread of local anesthetic for effective, rapid, and safe sciatic nerve block is debated. We hypothesized that subparaneural ultrasound-guided injection results in faster onset and has a better success rate than extraneural circumferential spread.
