Comparing nasopharyngeal apnoeic oxygenation at 18 l/min to preoxygenation alone in obese patients - A randomised controlled study.
Investigate a low-cost, nasopharyngeal apnoeic oxygenation technique, establish its efficacy, and compare it to preoxygenation only in an obese population. The study's hypothesis was that nasopharyngeal apnoeic oxygenation at 18 l.min-1 would significantly prolong safe apnoea time compared to preoxygenation alone. ⋯ PACTR202202665252087; WC/202004/007.

A norepinephrine weaning strategy using dynamic arterial elastance is associated with reduction of acute kidney injury in patients with vasoplegia after cardiac surgery: A post-hoc analysis of the randomized SNEAD study.
To evaluate the impact of a dynamic arterial elastance guided norepinephrine weaning strategy on the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with vasoplegia after cardiac surgery. ⋯ Decreasing norepinephrine exposure by using a dynamic arterial elastance guided norepinephrine weaning strategy was associated with a reduced incidence of acute kidney injury in patients with vasoplegia after cardiac surgery. Further prospective multicentric studies are needed to confirm these results.

Combined use of the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway and a bronchial blocker vs. a double-lumen endobronchial tube in thoracoscopic surgery: A randomized controlled trial.
The combined use of the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway and a bronchial blocker may reduce postoperative hoarseness and sore throat. We aimed to test the feasibility and efficacy of this combination technique in thoracoscopic surgery. ⋯ The combination of ProSeal laryngeal mask airway and bronchial blocker did not significantly reduce hoarseness compared to the double-lumen endobronchial tube.

Comparison between costotransverse foramen block and thoracic paravertebral block for VATS pulmonary resection: A randomized noninferiority trial.
The present study assessed whether costotransverse foramen block (CTFB) is noninferior to thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) for postoperative analgesia in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) pulmonary resection. ⋯ The analgesic effect of CTFB was noninferior to that of TPVB during 24 h postoperatively in VATS pulmonary resection. Moreover, CTFB may offer potential safety benefits by keeping the tip of the needle far from the pleura and vascular structure.
