Background: Anesthesia with desflurane or propofol enables rapid emergence. In patients undergoing lung cancer surgery, however, the speed of emergence from desflurane, but not from propofol, may be affected by the deteriorated postoperative respiratory function. We prospectively compared the speed and quality of emergence between desflurane and propofol.
Methods: We conducted a parallel study. Eighty patients scheduled for lung cancer surgery were randomly allocated to Desflurane group (Group D) and Propofol group (Group P). Combined general and epidural anesthesia was performed in the identical way except for the anesthetic.
Results: There was no significant difference between the groups in the time to awakening, extubation, or orientation. However, emergence agitation (EA) occurred more frequently in Group D than in Group P (20/40 4/40, P<0.001). Numbers of patients not achieving full scores in respiration and circulation components of the modified Aldrete score 5 min after extubation were more in Group D (4/40 0/40, P=0.040; and 8/40 2/40, P=0.043, respectively). More patients required antiemetics during postoperative 24 hours in Group D (15/40 7/40, P=0.045).
Conclusions: Desflurane was not inferior to propofol in the speed of emergence from anesthesia after lung cancer surgery, but it was slightly inferior to propofol in the quality of emergence.

Background: The effect of anesthesia methods on non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) recurrence post-resection remains uncertain. We aimed to compare the oncological outcomes of spinal anesthesia (SA) and general anesthesia (GA) in patients with NMIBC.
Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial recruited 287 patients with clinical NMIBC at Seoul National University Hospital from 2018 to 2020.

Background: Non-ketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by defects in the glycine cleavage system, leading to elevated glycine levels in the central nervous system. NKH manifests in various forms, with the neonatal type being the most severe and often associated with high mortality and significant neurological impairment. This case report highlights the successful uses of desflurane and nitrous oxide for anesthetic management in a patient with NKH.

Purpose: Intraoperative neurologic monitoring can be useful, but transcranial motor evoked potentials (TcMEPs) are sensitive to anesthetic agents. We compared the effects of anesthetics on the newly developed transesophageal motor evoked potentials (TeMEPs) with those on TcMEPs.

Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) is common in aged mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients and can accelerate the progression to dementia. This process involves heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1 (hnRNPA2/B1)-mediated aggregates of stress granules (SGs), while RUVBL2 influences the dynamics of these SGs. Our research explored a new target for modulating hnRNAPA2/B1-SGs dynamics to accelerate their disassembly and potentially delay MCI progression due to PND.

Background: Aperiodic (nonoscillatory) electroencephalogram (EEG) activity can be characterised by its power spectral density, which decays according to an inverse power law. Previous studies reported a shift in the spectral exponent α from consciousness to unconsciousness. We investigated the impact of aperiodic EEG activity on parameters used for anaesthesia monitoring to test the hypothesis that aperiodic EEG activity carries information about the hypnotic component of general anaesthesia.
