For nasotracheal intubation, which nostril results in less epistaxis: right or left?: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION
On the basis of the current available evidence, when both nostrils are patent, the right nostril is more appropriate for nasotracheal intubation, with a lower incidence and severity of epistaxis and faster intubation time.

Clinical reasoning in anaphylactic shock: addressing the challenges faced by anaesthesiologists in real time: A clinical review and management algorithms
Acute hypersensitivity reactions to drugs occur infrequently during anaesthesia and the peri-operative period. When clinical presentation includes the classical triad, erythema, cardiovascular abnormalities and increased airway pressure, the diagnosis is evident and the challenge is to prescribe a therapeutic regimen according to guidelines and to manage refractory signs in a timely manner. In many situations, however, the initial clinical signs are isolated, such as increased airway pressure or arterial hypotension. Rendering a differential diagnosis with causes and mechanisms other than acute hypersensitivity reactions (...

Hypercapnia versus normocapnia for emergence from desflurane anaesthesia: Single-blinded randomised controlled study
BACKGROUND
Rapid emergence from general anaesthesia is desirable only if safety is not sacrificed. Mechanical hyperventilation during hypercapnia produced by carbon dioxide infusion into the inspired gas mixture or by rebreathing was reported to shorten emergence time from inhalation anaesthesia.
OBJECTIVES
To test the hypothesis that hypercapnia produced by hypoventilation before desflurane cessation shortens emergence time from general anaesthesia (primary hypothesis) and reduces undesirable cardiorespiratory events.
DESIGN
A single-blinded randomised controlled study.

Dexmedetomidine vs. total intravenous anaesthesia in paediatric emergence delirium: A network meta-analysis
CONCLUSION
Clinical judgement, considering the patient's risk factors for the development of clinically significant outcomes such as emergence delirium and PONV, should be used when choosing between TIVA and sevoflurane with adjuvant dexmedetomidine. These findings are limited by the low quality of evidence (conditional recommendation). (Source: European Journal of Anaesthesiology)

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: comparing organised groups to individual first responders: A qualitative focus group study
CONCLUSION
Team spirit and peer-support engages group first responders, whereas individual first responders are impaired by lack of social support. Involvement with society triggers both first responder types to become and stay first responders. As first responders in groups have substantial additional benefits, enhancing such groups might strengthen current first responder systems. (Source: European Journal of Anaesthesiology)

Sex difference and intra-operative tidal volume: Insights from the LAS VEGAS study
BACKGROUND
One key element of lung-protective ventilation is the use of a low tidal volume (VT). A sex difference in use of low tidal volume ventilation (LTVV) has been described in critically ill ICU patients.
OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study was to determine whether a sex difference in use of LTVV also exists in operating room patients, and if present what factors drive this difference.

Effects of positive end-expiratory pressure/recruitment manoeuvres compared with zero end-expiratory pressure on atelectasis in children: A randomised clinical trial
CONCLUSIONS
The reduced atelectasis provided by lung-protective ventilation does not persist from 15 min after extubation onwards. Further studies are needed to determine if it yields better results in other types of surgery.

Optimal positive end-expiratory pressure to prevent anaesthesia-induced atelectasis in infants: A prospective, randomised, double-blind trial
CONCLUSION
To reduce anaesthesia-induced atelectasis measured by ultrasound in healthy infants undergoing low abdominal, genitourinary or superficial regional operations, 6 cmH2O of PEEP was more effective than 3 cmH2O. PEEP of 9 cmH2O was comparable with 6 cmH2O.

Pain management after complex spine surgery: A systematic review and procedure-specific postoperative pain management recommendations
CONCLUSIONS
The analgesic regimen for complex spine surgery should include pre-operative or intra-operative paracetamol and COX-2 specific inhibitors or NSAIDs, continued postoperatively with opioids used as rescue analgesics. Other recommendations are intra-operative ketamine and epidural analgesia using local anaesthetics with or without opioids. Although there is procedure-specific evidence in favour of intra-operative methadone, it is not recommended as it was compared with shorter-acting opioids and due to its limited safety profile. Furthermore, the methadone studies did not use non-opioid analgesics, which shoul...

Effects of pupillary reflex dilation-guided opioid administration on remifentanil and morphine consumption during laparoscopic surgery: A randomised controlled trial
BACKGROUND
Analysis of pupillary reflex dilation (PRD) assesses the balance of nociception--antinociception. Laparoscopic surgery induces haemodynamic variations that are misleading. During laparoscopy, PRD guidance helps differentiate haemodynamic changes because of excess nociception from secondary changes related to the reflex release of endocrine factors.
OBJECTIVE
The present study evaluated the effect of PRD-guided antinociception on the administration of intra-operative remifentanil and immediate postoperative morphine consumption in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery.

Comparison of the ‘4-item assessment test’ and ‘nursing delirium screening scale’ delirium screening tools on non-intensive care unit wards: A prospective mixed-method approach
CONCLUSION
The observational NuDESC showed a higher completion rate than the bedside 4AT, although overall testing rates were low. The necessary time needed to conduct the screening, the negative reactions by patients, insufficient team communication and a lack of initiation of any therapy were identified as major barriers in the implementation of the guideline-compliant screening protocol. For all staff, further education and awareness of the importance of POD diagnosis and treatment might improve the screening rates. The NuDesc received better results concerning acceptance, practicability and introduction into daily ...
