Patient-Reported Quality of Recovery after Local Anesthesia versus Brachial Plexus Block in Hand Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Study.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2024;12(14):19 Plast Reconstr Surg . 2023 Dec 1;152(6):1287-1296.Study Summary
98 patients undergoing hand surgery were randomized to receive either local anesthetic (LA; n=54) or a brachial plexus block (n=44). The primary outcome of interest was Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15). Secondary outcomes of interest included postoperative pain on a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), opioid consumption, block performance time, block onset time, total anesthesia time, and time in the postoperative anesthesia care unit (PACU). QoR-15, pain, opioid consumption, total anesthesia time, and time in PACU were comparable between the two groups. Block performance time and block onset time were significantly better in the LA group compared to the BP group.
