Effectiveness of deep general anesthesia compared to the standard depth of general anesthesia for acute postoperative pain and patient safety: a systematic review protocol.

Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to synthesize the best available evidence related to the effectiveness of deep general anesthesia on acute postoperative pain and patient safety in adult patients.

Introduction: Acute postoperative pain is a common physiological side effect of surgery that should be alleviated as soon as possible to reduce suffering and other detrimental effects. Given the adverse effects related to the use of opioids for pain management, and in the current opioid epidemic, evidence-based clinical practice recommendations are needed to reduce the use of opioids in the treatment of acute postoperative pain.

Safe injection practices among anesthesia providers: a scoping review protocol.

Objective: The objective of this review is to identify and map literature related to safe injection practices among anesthesia providers in developed nations.

Introduction: A safe injection is one that does not harm the recipient, does not expose the healthcare worker to avoidable risk, and does not result in waste that is a danger to the community.
