Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine cuff inflation techniques and corresponding pressure estimations, as well as associated complications, in patients undergoing general anaesthesia with intubation for cesarean delivery at the Tamale Teaching Hospital's obstetric unit. Finger palpation of the pilot balloon, predetermined volume of air, and a pressure gauge were used to measure endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff pressure after intubation. Associated side effects were determined after 24 hours of endotracheal tube extubation.

Abstract: Although epidural analgesia (EA) is recommended for laparotomic (LT) rectal surgery, there is no consensus regarding pain management in laparoscopic or robotic (LR) rectal cancer surgery. According to our local guidelines, EA is usually chosen for LT rectal procedures and intravenous analgesia for LR rectal procedures. This retrospective study included patients who underwent rectal cancer surgery in our center from January 2016 to February 2020 using either laparotomy (LT) or laparoscopic or robotic (LR) techniques. Analgesia technique varied according to surgery technique, the choice of patient and anesthesia provider.

Abstract: COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic by the WHO in March of 2020. When the COVID-19 pandemic first started, much attention was focused on the respiratory manifestations of the disease. However, as the course of the pandemic continued, more and more attention has been paid to the neurological symptoms after infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Despite this, there is little data with respect to sequelae of pain and musculoskeletal symptoms following infection. We present a case of a 52-year-old female who presented to our pain clinic with new pain symptoms after recovering from COVID-19, as well as worsening of her pre-existing hemi cranial pain.

Abstract: Interscalene brachial plexus blocks are commonly used to provide adjunctive, non-opioid pain relief as part of a multimodal pain control regimen for shoulder arthroscopy and arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical efficacy of liposomal bupivacaine compared with a standard bupivacaine plus dexamethasone mixture in a single shot interscalene nerve block for postoperative pain control.

Abstract: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with the rare, yet potentially fatal, condition known as epiglottitis. Epiglottitis has the potential to lead to complete airway obstruction, and often constitutes emergent management. Here, we describe a case of acute epiglottitis in a 19-year-old man infected with COVID-19 with a past history of angioedema. We discuss the management of this emergent condition, as well as the differential diagnosis and various management complexities inherent in patients presenting with epiglottitis in this new age of the COVID-19 pandemic.
