Efficacy of a surgical mask during high-flow nasal oxygen therapy in preventing aerosol dispersion: a randomized controlled study
ConclusionIn conclusion, treating a patient in a negative-pressure room, or applying a surgical mask, during high-flow nasal oxygenation (with the flow rate of 60 l.min−1) would inhibit, but would not completely prevent, dispersion of aerosols by coughing. (Source: Journal of Anesthesia)

The effect of implementation of pain neuroscience education and rehabilitation exercise on post-operative pain and recovery after laparoscopic colorectal surgery: a prospective randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsThe addition of peri-operative rehabilitation exercise and pain neuroscience education into multi-modal analgesia provided better analgesic effect compared with routine practice for patients receiving laparoscopic colorectal surgery and also facilitated better post-operative recovery. This composite psycho-somatic algorithm for peri-operative analgesia merits further application in clinical practice. (Source: Journal of Anesthesia)

Renal safety of critical care sedation with sevoflurane: a systematic review and meta-analysis
AbstractVolatile anesthetic agents are increasingly widely used for critical care sedation. There are concerns that sevoflurane presents a risk of renal injury when used in this role. RCTs comparing the use of critical care sevoflurane sedation with any control in humans were systematically identified using MEDLINE, Cochrane CENTRAL, web of Science, and CINAHL (until May 2022), if they presented comparative data on renal function or serum inorganic fluoride levels. Pooled SMDs (95% CI) were calculated where possible after assessment of quality with GRADE and risk of bias with ROB-2. Eight studies analyzing 793 patients wer...

Remimazolam: a randomized controlled study of its suitability for insertion of a supraglottic airway
ConclusionRemimazolam frequently does not inhibit response to jaw thrusting, and thus remimazolam is not a suitable induction agent for uncomplicated insertion of a supraglottic airway unless either a neuromuscular blocking agent or an opioid is co-administered. (Source: Journal of Anesthesia)
