Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare outcomes in anesthesia between patients monitored by newly recruited nurse anesthetists and those monitored by newly recruited anesthesiologists from 2017 to 2022.
- - After analyzing data from over 9,400 patients, results showed that the demographics of the two groups varied, with nurse anesthetists tending to monitor younger and lighter patients, but no significant differences in postoperative complications were found between the two groups.
- - The conclusion drawn indicates that having nurse anesthetists solely responsible for anesthesia maintenance is both feasible and safe, as patient outcomes were similar to those monitored by anesthesiologists.
Unplanned transfer to intensive care unit (ICU) lead to reduced trust of patients and their families in medical staff and challenge medical staff to allocate scarce ICU resources. This study aimed to explore the incidence and risk factors of unplanned transfer to ICU during emergence from general anesthesia after cerebral surgery, and to provide guidelines for preventing unplanned transfer from post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) to ICU following cerebral surgery. This was a retrospective case-control study and included patients with unplanned transfer from PACU to ICU following cerebral surgery between January 2016 and December 2020.

However, the clinical effect of the route of administration on postoperative analgesia as well as on postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing general anesthesia remains unclear. This study aimed to explore whether the route of administration of acetaminophen affects postoperative analgesia, nausea, and vomiting in patients undergoing general anesthesia.
