Background: Intraoperative awareness, without explicit recall, occurs after induction of anaesthesia in approximately 10% of persons under 40 yr of age. Most anaesthetic agents minimally suppress the noradrenergic system. We hypothesised that addition of dexmedetomidine, which suppresses noradrenergic activity, may reduce encephalographic (EEG) arousal in response to tracheal intubation; such an effect would lay the foundation for future studies of dexmedetomidine in reducing intraoperative awareness.

Background: Ciprofol, a novel intravenous anesthetic derived from propofol, exhibits high lipophilicity. Its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics may vary across different body mass indices (BMI) categories, but data on its optimal dosing as well as its safety and efficacy during colonoscopy anesthesia in varying BMI groups are lacking.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ciprofol during anesthesia for painless colonoscopy in patients with varying BMI, and to explore the correlation between BMI and induction dose.

Background: Propofol is one of the most used intravenous anesthetic agents in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients undergoing emergency neurosurgical procedures. Despite being efficacious, its administration is associated with dose-related adverse effects. The use of adjuvants along with propofol aids in limiting its consumption, thereby mitigating the side effects related to propofol usage.

Introduction: Radiotherapy is currently used in approximately one-third of children with cancer. Treatments are typically received as weekday outpatient appointments over 3-6 weeks. The treatment is painless but requires a still, co-operative patient who can lie alone in set positions, facilitated by the use of immobilisation devices, for up to 1 h.

Background: Remimazolam is a novel intravenous sedative/anesthetic drug that belongs to the ultra-short-acting class of benzodiazepines. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of postoperative use of remimazolam in preventing emergence agitation (EA) in adults following nasal surgery.
Methods: Patients who underwent nasal surgery were randomly divided into Group R and Group C.
