Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of bispectral index (BIS) and neuromuscular blockade monitoring on the depth of anaesthesia and recovery in cardiac patients, scheduled to undergo open cholecystectomy operation with desflurane anaesthesia.
Methods: After the approval of the Ethics Committee and consent from the patients, patients were randomly divided into two groups. All patients received standard induction drugs, and 4-6% desflurane was used for maintenance of anaesthesia. In Group I, the anaesthesiologist was blind to BIS, and end-tidal volatile agent concentration (ETVAC) of desflurane was titrated according to the patients' hemodynamic changes. In Group II, ETVAC of desflurane was titrated to maintain BIS at 50-60. The hemodynamic data, BIS values, end-tidal volatile agent concentration (ETVAC) and train of four (TOF) values were recorded at pre-induction, post-induction, post-intubation, 1st and 5th minutes after surgical incision and then every 15 min. At the end of the operation, extubation time and the time to reach an Aldrete recovery score ≥9 were recorded in each group. Additionally, neuromuscular agent and narcotic agent doses were recorded.
Results: The BIS values were lower for Group I in all times, except pre- and post-induction times (p<0.05). ETVAC values of all times were lower for Group II (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The requirement of volatile agent, which was given according to BIS monitoring, was lower than in the standard technique, but it is considered not to affect the early extubation, recovery and neuromuscular agent requirement dependent on TOF monitoring.

Background/objectives: Emergence delirium (ED) is one of the most frequent postoperative complications in pediatric patients after general anesthesia. In adults, a deeper intraoperative level of anesthesia has been reported as an independent predictor of postoperative delirium. However, the effect of anesthetic depth on ED has rarely been demonstrated in the pediatric population.

Background: Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are not rare and often require an intervention at some point of time. Pediatric cardiac catheterization, a minimally invasive procedure, is performed to diagnose and to correct many cardiac abnormalities. Deep sedation with spontaneously breathing patients is the preferred technique for pediatric catheterization in the pediatric population.

Objective: To evaluate the sparing effects of fentanyl and maropitant on sevoflurane minimum alveolar concentrations that block autonomic responses (MACBAR) and the hemodynamic and electroencephalographic responses to noxious stimuli in dogs.
Methods: The sevoflurane MACBAR was determined in 5 healthy male Beagles with or without continuous infusions of fentanyl and maropitant. Then, intermittent noxious stimulation was applied at 1.

Background: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of different doses of ciprofol for the induction of general anesthesia in elderly patients with diabetes undergoing spinal surgery.
Methods: Ninety elderly diabetic patients scheduled for elective single-level posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) under general anesthesia were enrolled and randomly assigned to three groups according to the induction dose of ciprofol: group A (0.2 mg/kg), Group B (0.

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.
