Purpose: Emergence delirium (ED) after sevoflurane anesthesia remains a serious issue in children. We aimed to compare different ratios of propofol-ketamine combinations to determine a better option for preventing ED.
Design: A prospective, randomized clinical trial.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the impact of lumbar sympathetic block (LSB) on patients with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) for whom revascularization was not an option.
- The review of 21 patients' medical records showed significant reductions in pain scores and improvements in the Fontaine Classification and collateral perfusion status after LSB treatment over six months.
- Results indicated that LSB not only lowered pain levels but also improved blood flow by promoting neovascularization in many patients, with statistically significant findings at various follow-up points.
Introduction: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are life-threatening conditions which increase in frequency over the years. Electrical storm (ES) is defined as the occurrence of 3 or more continuous ventricular arrhythmia. The sympathetic nervous system has an important role in Ventricular arrythmias (VA) and is the target of treatment.

This study was designed to compare the sedative efficacy of remifentanil–ketamine combination with propofol–ketamine combination in children undergoing colonoscopy.
Methods: Seventy patients, between 2 and 16 years of age, scheduled for diagnostic colonoscopy were randomly allocated into two groups.
Brugada Syndrome was first described in 1992 by Pedro Brugada as a genetic syndrome that is characterized by ventricular arrhythmias that may result in sudden cardiac arrest. In particular, a right bundle branch block and ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads are observed. Many perioperative pharmalogical and physiological factors can trigger malignant arrhythmias.

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by reduced activity of the C1 esterase inhibitor. Clinically, angioedema most often involves the upper extremities, face, neck and larynx. The most common cause of death is asphyxia related to laryngeal oedema.
