Unveiling the protective role of sevoflurane in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery associated-acute lung injury: Inhibition of ferroptosis.

Acute lung injury (ALI) frequently occurs after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Ferroptosis is implicated in several lung diseases. Therefore, the disparate effects and underlying mechanisms of the two commonly used anesthetics (sevoflurane (Sev) and propofol) on VATS-induced ALI need to be clarified.

A nomogram to predict postoperative nausea and vomiting in the ward following laparoscopic bariatric surgery.

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common and distressing complication of laparoscopic bariatric surgery (LBS). However, there is a lack of effective integrated prediction models for preventing and treating PONV in patients after LBS.

Methods: Based on a randomized controlled trial conducted between November 1, 2021, and May 13, 2022, we included 334 participants who underwent LBS according to the inclusion criteria.

Role of ferroptosis in effects of anesthetics on multiple organ diseases: A literature review.

Anesthesiologists are often faced with patients combined with a series of organ injuries, such as acute lung injury, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and neurodegenerative diseases. With the in-depth study of these diseases, we are more aware of the choice and rational use of anesthetics for the prognosis of these patients. Ferroptosis is a new type of programmed cell death.

Effects of regional cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring on postoperative cognitive dysfunction in older patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is common after surgery and anesthesia, particularly in older patients. It has been reported that regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO) monitoring potentially influences the occurrence of POCD. However, its role in the prevention of POCD remains controversial in older patients.
