Such patients, especially those with a wide QRS complex, are susceptible to developing dangerous ventricular arrhythmias that can adversely affect circulatory function. Close vigil is the key to avoiding adverse perioperative outcomes.Pectoral type I and II (Pecs I and II) blocks are regional anesthesia methods that have shown to decrease postoperative analgesia after breast surgery. Typically, these blocks consist only of a local anesthetic. We performed preoperative Pecs I and II blocks in a female patient undergoing surgical excision and biopsy of a breast mass. The anesthetic consisted of ropivacaine, dexmedetomidine, and dexamethasone (Dex-Dex). The patient experienced an extended postoperative pain relief period. She did not require any opiates postoperatively. Adding dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone to a local anesthetic for peripheral nerve blocks seems to have a synergistic effect and can extend the duration of pain relief. This combination has the potential to decrease postoperative opiate requirements for analgesia. Further studies need to be conducted to further determine the safety and efficacy of the Dex-Dex block.Suturing thin, fragile skin, particularly in elderly patients, is often problematic and presents a challenge to many clinicians. We describe a novel technique that re-enforces the edges of such thin fragile skin, with the use of topical skin adhesive, 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (Dermabond™; Ethicon, Somerville, NJ). This allows secure suture placement and application of tension to facilitate wound closure.Background The clinical utility of antimicrobial prophylaxis in clean pediatric surgical cases remains enigmatic. The present study aims to evaluate the prevalence of surgical site infections in instances where antibiotic prophylaxis is not employed prior
