Levosimendan for patients with heart failure undergoing major oncological surgery: A randomised blinded pilot study
Conclusion: In patients with low EF <35% and CHF, administration of levosimendan for 24 hours before major abdominal oncologic surgeries may reduce the risk of hypotension and decompensated heart failure and may improve cardiac function.

Lactate/pyruvate monitoring during carotid endarterectomy under general anaesthesia versus cervical plexus block: A randomised controlled study
Conclusion: In patients undergoing Carotid endarterectomy, serum levels of both lactate and pyruvate were higher under general versus regional anaesthesia.

Mild Sedation Exacerbates or Unmasks Focal Neurologic Dysfunction in Neurosurgical Patients with Supratentorial Brain Mass Lesions in a Drug-specific Manner
Conclusions Midazolam and propofol augmented or revealed neurologic dysfunction more frequently than fentanyl and dexmedetomidine at equivalent sedation levels. Patients with high-grade gliomas were more susceptible than those with low-grade gliomas.

Hemodynamic changes and stress response during BIS-guided TCI anesthesia with propofol-fentanyl in laparoscopic versus open cholecystectomy
Conclusion BIS-guided TCI anesthesia with propofol-fentanyl offers a good and safe anesthesia technique for patients undergoing either laparoscopic or open cholecystectomy. The hemodynamic stability guided by esophageal Doppler monitor makes it a very appealing choice.

Treatment of status migrainosus by general anesthesia: a case report
Conclusion Status migrainosus is a rare disabling complication and anesthetics have been the subject of research in its treatment; the option for general anesthesia with agents that stimulate GABA receptors, propofol and isoflurane, in association with fentanyl, proved effective and should encourage new research.

The minimally invasive MitraClip™ procedure for mitral regurgitation under general anaesthesia: immediate effects on the pulmonary circulation and right ventricular function
Summary A relatively new minimally invasive cardiological procedure, called the MitraClip™, does not require sternotomy and may have a number of advantages compared with open mitral valve surgery, but its acute impact on the pulmonary circulation and right ventricular function during general anaesthesia is unclear. We prospectively assessed the effects of the MitraClip procedure in 81 patients with or without pulmonary hypertension (defined as mean pulmonary artery pressure > 25 mmHg), who were anaesthetised using fentanyl (5 μg.kg−1), etomidate (0.2–0.3 mg.kg−1), rocuronium (0.5–0.6 mg.kg−1) and isofl...
