Randomized Controlled TrialPain monitoring in intensive care: How does the nociception level index affect treatment and prognosis? A randomized, controlled, double-blind trial.
Effective pain management is vital in critical care settings, particularly post-surgery. Clinicians should maintain objective and efficient standards to assess pain in a patient-centered manner, in order to effectively manage this complex issue. A newer technology, the nociception level (NOL) index, shows promise in achieving this task through its multi-parameter evaluation. ⋯ Monitoring pain using the nociception level index is an effective method for detecting pain compared to standard pain scores utilized in critical care. Its guidance facilitates personalized analgesic titration. Additionally, the potential of nociception level index guidance to reduce the duration of intensive care and hospital stays may be linked to its effects on delirium, a connection that awaits further exploration in future studies.

Randomized Controlled TrialAnesthesiological and surgical perspectives on using 8 mmHg versus 12 mmHg pneumoperitoneum pressures during robotic radical prostatectomy: Results of a prospective randomized study.
This study aims to compare the effects of 8 mmHg and 12 mmHg pneumoperitoneum (PNP) pressures on operative, postoperative, and anesthesiological parameters in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP). ⋯ In RARP, while the 8 mmHg PNP pressure does not demonstrate differences in operative parameters compared to the 12 mmHg pressure, it offers the advantage of requiring fewer anesthetic interventions, thus minimizing the impact on cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
