We compared the analgesic effects of ultrasound-guided intercostal nerve (ICN) blocks, subcostal transversus abdominis plane (SCTAP) block, and a control group in open cholecystectomy. This was a prospective, randomized controlled, double-blind, multi-arm and parallel study. The study was conducted on patients of American Society of Anaesthesiology Physical Status Classes I and II, either sex, 18-60 years of age, and body mass index 18-30 kg.m . Exclusion criteria were infection at the injection site, coagulopathy, thrombocytopenia, and allergy to the drugs used. Group I ( = 41) received ICN blocks, Group T ( = 41) SCTAP block, and Group C ( = 41) no postoperative block. The duration of analgesia was the primary outcome, and the analgesic consumption, the pain intensity, adverse events, and patient satisfaction were the secondary outcomes. For the continuous data, analysis nalgesia and patient satisfaction for cholecystectomy. Both the ICN and SCTAP blocks have similar results in terms of analgesia and patient satisfaction for cholecystectomy. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is used to protect the health-care professional from bacterial, viral, or other hazards during this COVID-19 pandemic, and they should be made aware of proper usage of this equipment. The aim was to evaluate how adequate knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of health-care worker toward the appropriate use of PPE, which can prevent them and the community from virus contamination. This study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic in a span of approximately 50 days. This cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey was done in 155 health-care providers posted in the COVID-19 area. Data were described in terms of range; mean ± standard deviation, frequencies (number of cases) and relative frequencies (perc
