Article Synopsis
- Mechanical thrombectomy is a common treatment for ischemic strokes, but sedation during the procedure can cause agitation in patients.
- This study, part of the AMETIS research, evaluated patients who experienced agitation and found that 38% had at least one episode during the procedure.
- Although agitation didn’t significantly affect thrombolysis scores or overall outcomes, it did correlate with a higher need for intubation and poorer radiological image quality.
Accidental awareness during general anaesthesia is a major complication. Despite the routine use of continuous electroencephalographic monitoring, accidental awareness during general anaesthesia remains relatively frequent and constitutes a significant additional cost. The prediction of patients' arousal during general anaesthesia could help preventing accidental awareness and some researchers have suggested that heart rate variability (HRV) analysis contains valuable information about the patient arousal during general anaesthesia.

The Prevention of postOperative Cognitive dysfunction by Ketamine (POCK) study aimed to assess the effect of ketamine on this condition.
Methods: This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, interventional study.
