Abstract
OBJECTIVES To reduce the drug side effects and facilitate the emergence from anesthesia after complex spine surgery, various methods have been proposed. One of these methods is ESPB, which has been less studied. Hence, we conducted this study to evaluate the effectiveness of ESPB on the use of anesthetic drugs in lumbar spine surgery. METHODS In this study, 70 patients undergoing lumbar spine fusion surgery were studied. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: the case group (n=35), in which bilateral ESPB was done, and the control group (n=35). After standard anesthesia protocols, anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane in both groups. Intraoperative isoflurane and perioperative opioid consumption were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software version 21. RESULTS Intraoperative use of fentanyl in the case group was significantly lower than the control group (14.29±21.5 vs. 65.96±73.33 µg, p<0.001). Furthermore, isoflurane consumption in the intervention group compared to the controls was significantly lower (20.71±5.02 versus 28.83±8.68 mL, p<0.001). Moreover, the emergence time was significantly shorter in the case group than in the control group (8.49±4.30 minutes versus 15.00±4.94, p<0.001). In the post-anesthesia care unit 1 h after surgery, the pain scores in the case group were significantly lower than the controls (p<0.001). CONCLUSION ESPB under ultrasound guidance is an effective method of regional anesthesia/analgesia for lumbar spine surgery (fusion) by decreasing the consumption of anesthetics during and following the surgery.

Abstract
Background After graduation, physicians should be able to provide professional and safe services without the need for supervision by their clinical professors, mandating a competency-based medical education (CBME) approach. Objectives This study aimed to develop a national model of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) based on our experiences in the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care (DACC), Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (SBMU). Methods The primary EPA design plan was designed in a 10-step model as a career roadmap for the project. The texts were prepared according to a consensus-based approach. On the other hand, the texts were reviewed and revised by a broad team of faculty in a daily workshop. Results The final product included 14 topics for EPA as the first round of targeting topics for anesthesiology residents. The texts were developed using previous studies and were standardized considering national standards. Conclusions We described a clear path toward designing and implementing EPAs in anesthesiology residency programs to improve the quality of the graduated residents. Though the basic theory is the same, each country needs its formula for implementing the process.

Abstract
A loose tooth is a great concern for anaesthesiologists either as a potential foreign body or a bleeding source. A 48-year-old male patient scheduled to undergo a lumbar discectomy had a loose maxillary incisor; he got his tooth fixed by using a thermoplastic external nasal splint. Different approaches such as modification in laryngoscopy or removal of loose teeth have been proposed, but fixing and keeping it in place is not a usual practice which was successfully applied for our patient. Loose incisors could be fixed and protected by using a thermoplastic nasal splint as a mouth guard.

Abstract
One of the main objectives in neurosurgical procedures is the prevention of cerebral ischemia and hypoxia leading to secondary brain injury. Different methods for early detection of intraoperative cerebral ischemia and hypoxia have been used. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a simple, non-invasive method for monitoring cerebral oxygenation increasingly used today. The aim of this study was to systematically review the brain monitoring with NIRS in neurosurgery. The search process resulted in the detection of 324 articles using valid keywords on the electronic databases, including Embase, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. Subsequently, the full texts of 34 studies were reviewed, and finally 11 articles (seven prospective studies, three retrospective studies, and one randomized controlled trial) published from 2005 to 2020 were identified as eligible for systematic review. Meta-analysis was not possible due to high heterogeneity in neurological and neurosurgical conditions of patients, expression of different clinical outcomes, and different standard reference tests in the studies reviewed. The results showed that NIRS is a non-invasive cerebral oximetry that provides continuous and measurable cerebral oxygenation information and can be used in a variety of clinical settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Difficult Intubation (DI) is a constant concern for anesthesiologists and being able to predict it will improve patient safety. Different tests have been presented in anesthesiology practice to increase the accuracy of the DI prediction. Since there is no single sensitive and specific test, most of the practitioners use a combination of them. Here we report a new and novel index of ratio of height to rhinion-mentum distance (RHRMD) to improve the prediction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four hundred adult patients' candidate for elective surgery were enrolled into the study. Initially, patients' data such as weight, height and rhinion-mentum distance (RMD) were recorded by the first anesthesiologist. After anesthesia induction, the second anesthesiologist performed laryngoscopy and recorded the Cormack-Lehane (CL) score. CL score III or higher was considered as DI. Finally, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) for RHRMD was calculated. RESULTS DI was reported in 7.75% of patients. RHRMD is related with CL grade: as the former increased, the latter decreased. RHRMD with cut-off point 25.4 has 90.6% sensitivity, 29.9% specificity, 10.1% PPV and 97.3% NPV in predicting DI. CONCLUSION RHRMD with 90.6% sensitivity and 97.3% NPV could be a valuable tool for prediction of DI.

Abstract
Fanconi anaemia (FA) is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disease, which consists of bone marrow failure, skeletal deformities and multi organ nvolvement. Here, we report an emergency surgery on a FA patient with mucormycosis infection of paranasal sinuses. Since there are a few reports about FA, there is no general consensus on anaesthetic considerations so we deal with recommendations that are based on the pathology of FA. Possible difficult air way is the main concern, and low oxygen concentration and avoidance of nitrous oxide are among recommendations.

Abstract
Background The correct placement of the endotracheal tube is a cornerstone of safe anesthesia. Different methods, such as auscultation, capnography, and ultrasound, have their own limitations regarding the confirmation of endotracheal intubation, reinforcing the idea that a single technique is not foolproof. This study proposes a new technique in this regard. Materials and Methods A total of 600 patients were enrolled in this study, and tracheal intubation was checked with palm pressure and disposable plastic glove inflation and pulsation. Results The data were analyzed using the t-test and Mann-Whitney U test that indicate 94% and 94.8% sensitivity for palm pressure and bag pulsation, respectively, and a 100% positive predictive value for both tests. Conclusion Palm pressure and bag pulsation are accurate, inexpensive, and reliable techniques to confirm proper tracheal intubation.

Abstract
Background Reform in medical education is a basic process in every academic department, especially in residency programs. Objectives This study was designed to assess the indices of education and research as part of the Medical Education Reform program (MERP) in the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care (DACC), Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (SBMU) for four years. Methods MERP in DACC, SBMU was designed and implemented as a modern academic reform model; different outcome measures in education and research were assessed to demonstrate the effects of the reform plan in academic improvements. Results there were significant improvements regarding education indices (i.e., teaching methods, passing comprehensive exams, mentorship, assessment methods, faculty development, professionalism in medical education, integration in education, and crisis management) and research indices (targeted research activities, innovation in research approaches, increasing the impact of research). Conclusions Based on the experiences of DACC, SBMU regarding clinical anesthesiology residency, reform could be achieved using painstaking plans and continuous efforts with tangible documented outcomes. Often, the management period is not durable, and these reforms require meticulous care to sustain.

Abstract
Adequate ventilation is the greatest concern of all the anaesthesiologists. Any disturbance in the ventilation process could result in serious hazards: hypoxemia or barotrauma. Deficient devices are one of many causes of such derangements. Some of the typical complications of airway/ventilation tools are described extensively in textbooks, but many other uncommon events can still occur. We described two interesting cases of device-related ventilation inadequacy, hoping that acquaintance with such jeopardizes would be helpful in emergency situations for other colleagues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-operative pain after open cholecystectomy can result in increased oxygen consumption, atelectasis, pneumonia, decreased vital capacity, and increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to compare the analgesic effects of intrapleural meperidine and intravenous morphine in controlling post-cholecystectomy pain. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a double-blinded randomized clinical trial, 72 patients who were candidate for elective open cholecystectomy, were divided randomly into two groups based on accidental randomized numbers. Anesthesia technique was precisely the same for all patients. At the end of surgery, 50 mg of meperidine (diluted in 20 cc normal saline) was injected intrapleurally for meperidine group patients; whereas, 0.1 mg/kg intravenous morphine was injected intravenously in control group. Onset of pain and total dose of rescue analgesic were measured. RESULTS In order to obtain a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) <3, the difference in morphine consumption up to 12 hours in two groups (4.4 ±1.7 mg in meperidine group & 5±2 mg in control group) was not statistically different. However, the first request for analgesia in meperidine group was delayed significantly longer than the control group (146.6 ±6.8 minutes in meperidine group & 40 ±1.8 minutes in control group). CONCLUSION A single injection of intrapleural meperidine can delay the first request for analgesia in open cholecystectomy compared to intravenous morphine.

Abstract
Foreign body (FB) aspiration is a rare event in adults and can mimic other pathologies such as refractory asthma. Most of the objects can be removed using a bronchoscope. Herein, we present a unique case of aspiration of a FB stocked between vocal cords for one week and the anesthetic considerations.
