Introduction: We determined the median effective dose and 95% confidence interval (CI) of remimazolam required to inhibit laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion reactions combined with sufentanil 0.3 μg/kg in pediatric anesthesia.
Methods: Children scheduled to undergo elective laryngeal mask anesthesia were divided into the preschool (age: 3-6 years) and school-age (6-12 years) groups.

Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive upper airway collapse resulting in episodes of apnea and hypopnea. Studies have shown worsened coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity due to coexisting respiratory conditions and suggest increased severity of COVID-19 in patients with or at high risk of OSA. However, the extent of this correlation is unclear.

Background: The repeated airway obstructions in the common disorder Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) cause health risks. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), the standard treatment, faces adherence challenges. Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs) have been used successfully for mild to moderate OSA, as a good alternative for these patients.

Purpose: Obesity is a major risk factor in Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is a prevalent disease that leads to significant morbidity. Multi-level Sleep Surgery (MLS) is a method of treatment for patients who cannot tolerate continuous positive airway pressure. Obesity has previously been identified as a risk factor that may decrease the success rate of MLS.

The pathophysiology of residual sleepiness in treated obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) remains poorly understood. Animal models suggest that it may involve neuronal damage due to intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation. In a cohort of 122 continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treated OSA patients referred for maintenance of wakefulness test, we explored the determinants of (objective) alertness and those of (subjective) sleepiness assessed by Epworth Sleepiness Scale.
