Background: Rectal carcinoma (RC) treatment primarily involves laparoscopic surgery, which may induce significant hemodynamic changes and weaken immune function. Certain anesthetic approaches using opioid drugs (including remifentanil and sufentanil) pose risks, such as hypotension.

Aim: To determine the effects of remifentanil combined with propofol on hemodynamics and oxidative stress in patients undergoing RC resection.

Methods: A total of 211 patients one hundred and four patients with RC treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University between November 2018 and November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, the remifentanil group included 45 patients receiving remifentanil with propofol anesthesia and the sufentanil group included 59 patients receiving sufentanil with propofol anesthesia. Changes in the hemodynamic index, oxidative stress index, general data, consumption of remifentanil, and use of vasoactive drugs were compared. The incidences of adverse reactions were calculated.

Results: The two groups did not significantly differ in terms of operation, anesthesia, and extubation times ( > 0.05). At 1 min after intubation, the sufentanil group showed a notably higher heart rate, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) compared with the remifentanil group ( < 0.05), whereas the sufentanil group showed a notably higher SBP and MAP compared with the remifentanil group at 5 min after pneumoperitoneum ( < 0.05). Thirty minutes after surgery, the remifentanil group showed significantly lower plasma cortisol, noradrenaline, and glucose levels than the sufentanil group ( < 0.001). The remifentanil group consumed significantly less remifentanil than the sufentanil group ( < 0.05), and the adoption frequency of ephedrine was lower in the remifentanil group than that in the sufentanil group ( < 0.05). The incidence of hypotension was notably higher in the sufentanil group than that in the remifentanil group ( < 0.05).

Conclusion: Remifentanil combined with propofol can improve hemodynamics and relieve oxidative stress in patients undergoing RC resection.

Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is an acute brain dysfunction that mainly occurs in elderly patients after surgery. Postoperative pain is an important factor in the occurrence of POD, and effective pain management can reduce the risk of POD. Our study aims is to investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block (FNB) on postoperative pain and the occurrence of POD after knee arthroplasty, and whether its mechanism is related to oxidative stress, inflammatory factors.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of general anesthesia combined with transversus abdominis plane block on postoperative sleep disorders in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal tumor surgery.

Methods: For elderly patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumors, we recruited 94 patients, aged 65-80, who were scheduled for radical laparoscopic surgery. Using the random number table method, the patients were randomly divided into two groups, the general anesthesia group (group GA) and the general anesthesia combined with transversus abdominis plane block group (group GT).

Background: To test the novel ultrasound (US)-guided bilateral anterior quadratus lumborum block (QLBA) at the lateral supra-arcuate ligament (supra-LAL) technique combined with postoperative intravenous analgesia was a viable alternative approach of conventional thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) for laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (LRG).

Methods: Three hundred and four patients scheduled for LRG were randomized 1:1 into QLBA group: receiving a novel pathway of US-guided bilateral QLBA at the supra-LAL before general anesthesia (GA) and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after surgery, and TEA group: receiving TEA before GA and patient-controlled epidural analgesia following surgery. The difference in procedure time between the treatment groups was set as the primary endpoint.

Background: The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been increasingly utilized for postoperative analgesia in thoracic, abdominal, and spinal surgeries. This study evaluated the postoperative analgesic outcomes of ESPB with nalbuphine as a ropivacaine adjuvant for lumbar trauma surgery.

Methods: This randomized double-blind clinical trial included 57 participants who underwent lumbar trauma surgery.

Breast cancer surgeries offer challenges in perioperative pain management, especially in the presence of inherent risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postmastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS). Inappropriate opioid consumption was speculated as one of the reasons. Through this study, the influence of objective pain monitoring through a nociception level monitor (NOL) on perioperative course in breast surgeries was investigated.
