Article Abstract
Background And Aims: Propofol is the drug of choice when used as sole anesthetic agent for placement of supraglottic airway devices. We aimed to find and compare the propofol dose required for smooth first attempt insertion of I-gel versus the classic laryngeal mask airway (cLMA) using Dixon's up-and-down method.
Material And Methods: Prospective randomized controlled trial (n-60) was planned. I-gel or cLMA was inserted 60 s after propofol injection whose dose was calculated based on previous patients response as per Dixon's up-and-down method. Propofol requirements for successful placement of devices was noted and compared. Difference between the groups was measured by ANOVA. A P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results: Significantly lower (P < 0.001) propofol dose was required for I-gel (2.02 ± 0.26 mg/kg) insertion than cLMA (2.70 ± 0.28 mg/kg).
Conclusions: I-gel requires significantly lower dose of propofol for insertion when compared to cLMA.

Ciprofol, a novel γ-aminobutyric acid receptor agonist, outperforms propofol with minimal cardiovascular effects, higher potency, reduced injection pain, and a broader safety margin. Despite these advantages, ciprofol's clinical research is still emerging. This study compares the median effective dose (ED) and adverse reactions of ciprofol and propofol, in conjunction with sufentanil, for suppressing cardiovascular responses during tracheal intubation.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the necessary dose of remifentanil to suppress cough during fiberoptic bronchoscopy under ciprofol sedation in elderly patients.
- The research involved 39 patients, revealing that males require a higher effective concentration (3.25 ng/mL) of remifentanil compared to females (2.25 ng/mL) to manage responses during the procedure.
- Overall, findings suggest gender differences in medication dosage requirements for effective cough suppression during bronchoscopy while maintaining normal breathing.
Determining the effective dose of esketamine combined with propofol for painless hysteroscopy: a prospective dose-finding study.

Department of Anesthesiology, Women's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.
Background: The combination of esketamine and propofol has become a common choice for total intravenous anesthesia in hysteroscopic procedures. However, the optimal effective dose has not yet been determined. The aim of this study was to determine the median effective dose (ED) and 95% effective dose (ED) of esketamine compounded with propofol for painless hysteroscopy.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the analgesic effects of a single preoperative dose of dexamethasone on the effective concentration of remifentanil during a specific medical procedure (P-ESWL) in 60 patients.
- Results indicated that the group receiving dexamethasone needed a significantly lower dose of remifentanil compared to the placebo group (2.02 ng/mL vs 2.65 ng/mL), suggesting enhanced pain relief with dexamethasone.
- Both groups showed similar hemodynamic parameters, but the placebo group experienced notable decreases in blood pressure and heart rate, and fewer adverse events were reported in the dexamethasone group.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of ropivacaine for pain relief in elderly patients with hip fractures undergoing surgery by using an ultrasound-guided block technique.
- A total of 27 patients aged 65 or older were enrolled, and the 50% effective concentration (EC) of ropivacaine was determined through a systematic approach of adjusting dosages based on patient response.
- Results showed that 48% of patients achieved successful pain management with an estimated EC range of 0.259% to 0.289%, indicating effective pain relief after the procedure.
