Article Abstract
Activation of the peripheral nerve system by endotracheal intubation is accompanied by an increase in bispectral index (BIS). Esmolol produces a dose-dependent attenuation of the adrenergic response to endotracheal intubation. Desflurane increases sympathetic nerve activity and plasma norepinephrine relative to sevoflurane. The authors hypothesized that esmolol might blunt the BIS response to endotracheal intubation more during sevoflurane anesthesia than desflurane anesthesia. In this double blind, randomized study, after the induction of anesthesia, patients were mask-ventilated with either sevoflurane or desflurane (end-tidal 1 minimum alveolar concentration) and received normal saline or esmolol (0.5 mg/kg) 1 minute before intubation (sevoflurane-control, sevoflurane-esmolol, desflurane-control, and desflurane-esmolol groups, n=20/group). BIS, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate were measured before the induction of anesthesia (awake), before esmolol injection (time point -1), immediately before intubation (time point 0), and every minute for 5 minutes after tracheal intubation (time point 1 to 5). Compared with preintubation, esmolol attenuated the increase in BIS at 1 minute after intubation during sevoflurane anesthesia (5.1% for esmolol and 31.7% for control) but not during desflurane anesthesia (28.6% for esmolol and 30.8% for control). Mean arterial pressure and heart rate increased after intubation in all groups but the changes were greater in the control groups than the esmolol groups. In conclusion, a single dose of esmolol blunted the increase in BIS to tracheal intubation during sevoflurane but not desflurane anesthesia.

Effect of total intravenous anesthesia versus sevoflurane anesthesia on intraoperative facial nerve monitoring: a randomized controlled trial.
Can J Anaesth

Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, 81 Irwon-ro Gangnam-gu, Seoul, 06351, Republic of Korea.
Purpose: Intraoperative facial nerve monitoring (IFNM) facilitates effective nerve preservation during ear and head and neck surgeries. Quantitative differences in the timely feasibility of IFNM during total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) vs sevoflurane anesthesia have not been investigated.
Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial in which 98 patients undergoing ear surgery were allocated to either the TIVA or sevoflurane group.

Article Synopsis
- Neurosurgical anesthetic management involves careful planning, focusing on positioning during intubation, neuromonitoring, and selecting appropriate anesthetic agents to enhance patient outcomes.
- A detailed case study of a 64-year-old woman with a cervical spine schwannoma showcases the implementation of video laryngoscopy to minimize neck movement and the use of propofol, remifentanil, and sevoflurane for continuous neuromonitoring.
- The surgery was successful, with stable neurological function during the procedure, and the patient had no complications post-operation, being successfully extubated afterward.
Comparison of Inhalational and Intravenous Anesthesia Induction on Electroencephalogram and Cerebral Perfusion in Children With Congenital Heart Disease: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objectives: The effects of anesthetics on electroencephalograms and cerebral perfusion remain understudied in children with congenital heart disease. With regard to this, we compared inhalational anesthesia induction and intravenous anesthesia induction.
Design: A randomized controlled trial.
Article Synopsis
- Pfeiffer syndrome (PS) is a rare genetic disorder affecting facial and limb bones, with the most severe forms being types 2 and 3.
- In this case, a 10-year-old boy with PS type 2 needed dental surgery under general anesthesia, and special care was taken due to his Chiari malformation to avoid neck hyperextension.
- The anesthesia team used a combination of sevoflurane and nitrous oxide for induction and opted for oral intubation instead of nasotracheal intubation, successfully managing the procedure with no complications.
A systematic review on the use of sevoflurane in the management of status asthmaticus in adults.

Department of Anaesthesia, National University Hospital, 5 Lower Kent Ridge Rd, Singapore, 119074, Singapore.
Background: To conduct a systematic review looking into the use of sevoflurane in the management of status asthmaticus (SA) in adults.
Methods: We performed a systematic search on PubMed, EMBASE, and The Cochrane Library - CENTRAL through 23rd August 2023, restricting to studies reported in English. We included studies reporting use of sevoflurane in asthmatics beyond its use as an anaesthetic agent in surgeries i.
