Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of anesthetics on early postoperative cognitive outcome and intraoperative cerebral oxygen balance in patients undergoing lung surgery: a randomized clinical trial.
One-lung ventilation (OLV) may impair cerebral oxygen balance and induce postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). It is unclear whether the type of anesthetic influences the incidence of POCD in patients undergoing OLV. This prospective study compared the incidence of POCD and intraoperative cerebral oxygen desaturation in OLV patients anesthetized with propofol vs sevoflurane during lung surgery. ⋯ UMIN 000002826).

We sought to develop a temperature-based respiratory instrument to measure respiration noninvasively outside critical care settings. ⋯ Respiratory rates using the LRMD, a novel temperature-based respiratory instrument, were consistent with those using capnometry.
