Prophylaxis for paediatric emergence delirium in desflurane-based anaesthesia: a network meta-analysis
ConclusionsThe current NMA showed that ketamine  + propofol administration was associated with the lowest incidence of pedED among all of the pharmacologic interventions studied. Future large-scale trials to more fully elucidate the comparative benefits of different combination regimens are warranted.Trial registrationPROSPERO CRD42021285200. (Source: Journal of Anesthesia)

Dynamic vocal cord behavior and stridor during emergence from general anesthesia in small children with supraglottic airway
ConclusionLaryngeal narrowing occurs in half of the children with SGA during emergence from anesthesia, and temporal stridor-like sound is relatively common.Clinical trial registrationUMIN (University Hospital Information Network) Clinical Registry: UMIN000025058 (https://upload.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr_e/ctr_view.cgi?recptno=R000028697).
