Impact of deep neuromuscular blockade on intraoperative NOL-guided remifentanil requirement during desflurane anesthesia in laparoscopic colorectal surgeries: A randomised controlled trial.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) affects pain and opioid use during laparoscopic colorectal surgery compared to moderate NMB.
- 100 patients were randomly divided into deep and moderate NMB groups, with the deep group requiring significantly less remifentanil (an opioid) during surgery.
- Results indicated that deep NMB improved surgical conditions, evidenced by a better Leiden Surgical Rating Scale and lower intra-abdominal pressure, while postoperative pain and analgesic use were similar to the moderate group.
Article Synopsis
- A study looked at a special fencing program called RIPOSTE for women who had surgery for breast cancer, aiming to improve their lives.
- The study used a method called RE-AIM to evaluate how well the program reached people, how effective it was, and if it could be kept going over time.
- Results showed that many young women joined, and although both groups felt some improvements in their health, there weren't huge differences between those who started right away and those who waited.
Introduction: There is a sizable niche for a minimally invasive analgesic technique that could facilitate ambulatory video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Our study aimed to determine the analgesic potential of a single-shot erector spinae plane (ESP) block for VATS. The primary objective was the total hydromorphone consumption with patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) 24 h after surgery.

Currently in anesthesia, teleconsultation (TC) is becoming widespread, although the benefit and quality have not been well evaluated. The objective of this study was to assess the quality, the patient satisfaction, as well as the ecological and medicoeconomic impacts of the preanesthesia TC.

Traditional radial artery cannulation is performed by using anatomical knowledge and pulse palpation as a guide. Arterial cannulation using ultrasound (US) requires specific training, especially for new US users.
