Introduction: Hypovolaemia is presumed to be a common risk factor of postinduction hypotension (PIH), despite worldwide improvement in preoperative volume optimization. Correct assessment of fluid status in patients undergoing general anaesthesia remains a major challenge for anaesthesiologists. Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is a sensitive method that allows objective assessment of patient fluid status as it can detect subclinical changes.

Background: Off-label intranasal administration of injectable dexmedetomidine has been widely applied in the pediatric sedation setting. However, the development of an improved drug delivery system that is easy to use is needed. We developed a novel dexmedetomidine nasal spray that can be administered directly without dilution or configuration for pediatric pre-anesthetic sedation.

Introduction: Recent years have seen an increasing number of elective total knee (TKA) and hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures.

Material And Methods: With the help of the LimeSurvey application, questionnaires for anaesthesio-logists and orthopaedists were prepared to gain insight into the preparation of patients for TKA and THA procedures and perioperative care.

This negatively impacts adenoma and sessile serrated lesion detection rates, procedural time, requirement for repeat colonoscopies, healthcare costs and likelihood of patient withdrawal from screening programmes.
