Article Synopsis
- Single-injection adductor canal block (SACB) enhances pain management for total knee arthroplasty, particularly when combined with intrathecal dexmedetomidine during surgery.
- In a study of 78 patients, those receiving SACB reported significantly lower pain levels (NRS scores) at various time points compared to a control group, particularly within the first 12 hours after the block.
- Patients in the SACB group also expressed higher satisfaction and required less morphine for pain relief in the initial hours post-surgery, indicating its effectiveness in improving postoperative comfort.
Background: TOFscan is a three-dimensional acceleromyography neuromuscular monitoring device that does not require initial calibration before muscle relaxant injection. This study aimed to compare TOFscan with TOF-Watch SX, the currently widely accepted uni-dimensional acceleromyography, for use among the pediatric population. We aimed to assess the agreement between TOFscan with TOF-Watch SX in the pediatric population's neuromuscular recovery.

The objective of this study was to compare 3-month post-operative neuroendocrine functional outcomes between sevoflurane and propofol anesthesia in patients undergoing endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (ETS) for removal of non-functional pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) retrospectively.
Methods: Among 356 patients who underwent ETS for removal of NFPAs under sevoflurane-remifentanil anesthesia (sevoflurane group, n = 103) or propofol-remifentanil anesthesia (propofol group, n = 253), 92 patients in each group were selected and their 3-month post-operative neuroendocrine functional outcomes (primary outcome measure) were compared after propensity score matching.
Background: Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common, undesirable result of endotracheal intubation during general anaesthesia. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of benzydamine hydrochloride (BH) spray in reducing the incidence of POST in paediatric patients.
Methods: This randomized, double-blind, prospective study included 142 children 6-12 years of age, who were randomly assigned to receive either BH spray or control.
Background: Anesthetic technique affects the neuroendocrine stress response to surgery. In this retrospective study, we compared the neuroendocrine stress response in patients undergoing endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma surgery (ETSPAS) with total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol-remifentanil or balanced anesthesia (BAL) with sevoflurane-remifentanil.
Materials And Methods: Eighty-nine patients undergoing ETSPAS were anesthetized with either propofol-remifentanil (TIVA group, n=62) or sevoflurane-remifentanil (BAL group, n=27).
Article Synopsis
- Patients undergoing heart transplantation in Korea were analyzed for the impact of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions on their clinical outcomes.
- The study found that 8.4% of patients died during their hospital stay, with higher mortality rates for those receiving 6 or more units of RBCs compared to those who received fewer or none.
- Long-term survival was also significantly lower for patients who received 6 or more units of transfusions, indicating a potential link between high perioperative transfusion levels and increased mortality risk after heart transplantation.
