Laryngeal transoral surgery classically requires a neuromuscular block (NMB) to facilitate tracheal intubation and to improve surgical conditions. However, the short duration of most procedures and the potential complications of...
This updated network meta-analysis aims at exploring whether the concurrent use of midazolam or antiemetics may enhance the efficacy of other pharmacological regimens for delirium prophylaxis in pediatric population after...
The application of regional anesthesia techniques as a component of multimodal analgesia in knee arthroscopic surgeries increases the quality of postoperative analgesia. Adductor canal block (ACB) is an effective “motor...
The digital nerve block is an effective method of anesthesia before minor surgical interventions on the fingers. However, patients may experience a lot of pain and anxiety during this procedure. The efficacy of topical...
Arterial lactate, mixed venous O saturation, venous minus arterial CO partial pressure (PCO) and the ratio between this gradient and the arterial minus venous oxygen content (PCO/CO) were proposed as markers of tissue...
During carotid artery stenting (CAS), hemodynamics may be affected by the carotid sinus reflex in some cases. Although general anesthesia has been reported to stabilize intraoperative hemodynamics, the patient’s...
Failure to identify difficult intubation is the leading cause of anesthesia-related death and morbidity. Despite preoperative airway assessment, 75-93% of difficult intubations are unanticipated, and airway examination methods...
Preoperative optimization and protocols for joint replacement care pathways have led to decreased length of stay (LOS)and narcotic use, and are increasingly important in delivering quality, cost savings, and shifting appropriate...
Postoperative delirium (POD), a syndrome of confusion and inattention, frequently occurs after anesthesia and surgery. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays key roles in executive functions and cognitive controls. However, the...
A few studies have compared the static functional connectivity between awake and lightly anesthetized states in rodents by resting-state fMRI. However, impact of light anesthesia on static and dynamic fluctuations in functional...
The STOP-Bang questionnaire is a simple screening tool with high sensitivity for the detection of severe obstructive sleep apnea. Predicting airway obstruction would allow the safe management of sedative patients to prevent...
Thoracic epidural analgesia is known to have superior perioperative pain control over intravenous opioid analgesia in open abdominal surgery and is an essential enhanced recovery after surgery component in major abdominal...
