A novel balanced anesthesia shortens time to emergence in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy: a randomized prospective trial.

Background: In balanced anesthesia, protocol during the last 30 min is very important to guarantee rapid emergence and smooth extubation. In clinical practice, sevoflurane and propofol are often used in combination to achieve a better anesthetic effect and less adverse reaction. Approximately 30 min before surgical completion, sevoflurane inhalation is often discontinued and propofol is adjusted to keep sufficient depth of anesthesia.

Remifentanil injected during analepsia shortens length of postanesthesia care unit stay in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: To guarantee efficient operating room (OR) activity, tracheal extubation is often performed in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). Therefore, the ability of PACU to accommodate postoperative patients is crucial. Optimizing extubation management may speed up the turnover of PACU beds.

The Relationship Between Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio and Clinical Outcome in Pediatric Patients After Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery: A Retrospective Study.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic role of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in pediatric patients undergoing open-heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). A retrospective cohort study of 61 pediatric patients who underwent CPB in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2017 to October 2018 was conducted. All perioperative clinical data, including neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, and C-reactive protein (CRP), were collected retrospectively.
