Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the effectiveness of the new short-acting benzodiazepine remimazolam for successfully inserting i-gels, combined with fentanyl, in 30 patients.
- Participants were divided into five groups, each receiving different doses of remimazolam, and the success of i-gel insertion was assessed after a set time.
- The estimated effective effect-site concentrations of remimazolam necessary for successful i-gel insertion were found to be 0.88 µg/ml (50% success) and 1.57 µg/ml (95% success).
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated whether carperitide, known for its kidney-protective and diuretic properties, is effective for patients with pulmonary hypertension undergoing cardiovascular surgery.
- It analyzed data from 244 patients, with a focus on outcomes like acute kidney injury, renal replacement therapy use, urine volume, and serum creatinine levels, comparing those with and without preoperative pulmonary hypertension.
- The findings showed no significant differences in these outcomes between the two groups, implying that carperitide's effects during surgery are unaffected by the presence of pulmonary hypertension.
Background: Kagami-Ogata syndrome (KOS) is due to abnormal gene expression in the 14q32.2 imprinted region. Laryngomalacia and bell-shaped thorax of children with KOS can affect airway management of general anesthesia.
