Randomized Controlled Trial
Thoracic impedance pneumography in propofol-sedated patients undergoing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement in gastrointestinal endoscopy: A prospective, randomized trial.
To assess the efficacy of an ECG-based method called thoracic impedance pneumography to reduce hypoxic events in endoscopy. ⋯ thoracic impedance pneumography, capnography, sedation, monitoring, gastrointestinal endoscopy, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Femoral vs sciatic nerve block to provide analgesia after medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy in the setting of multimodal analgesia: A randomized, controlled, single-blinded trial.
Medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOW HTO) is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain. The proximal part of the tibia is innervated by branches from the femoral nerve anteriorly and the sciatic nerve posteriorly. There is a paucity of information regarding the optimal peripheral nerve block for postoperative analgesia with minimal impact on motor function. This study tested the hypothesis that a femoral nerve block provides superior analgesia to a sciatic nerve block after MOW HTO in the setting of multimodal analgesia. ⋯ This trial failed to demonstrate that a femoral nerve block provides superior analgesia to a sciatic nerve block after MOW HTO under general anesthesia in the setting of multimodal analgesia. There was no significant difference in quality of life and functional outcomes at 6 months postoperatively between groups.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Determinants of postoperative complications in high-risk noncardiac surgery patients optimized with hemodynamic treatment strategies: A post-hoc analysis of a randomized multicenter clinical trial.
This post-hoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial was undertaken to establish the determinants of postoperative complications and acute kidney injury in high-risk noncardiac surgery patients supported with hemodynamic treatment strategies. ⋯ Surgical complications, a lower preoperative hemoglobin concentration, age, and vascular surgery were associated with postoperative complications in a high-risk noncardiac surgery population supported with hemodynamic treatment strategies.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of remimazolam vs propofol on emergence from general anesthesia in patients undergoing cerebral endovascular procedures: A randomized controlled, non-inferiority trial.
This study aimed to compare the time to emergence from general anesthesia with remimazolam versus propofol in patients undergoing cerebral endovascular procedures. ⋯ In patients undergoing cerebral endovascular procedures, remimazolam did not increase the time from anesthesia vs propofol.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane block in patients undergoing major gynecologic surgery: A randomized controlled study.
To investigate the analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in major gynecologic surgery, expressed as cumulative opioid consumption 24 h after surgery. ⋯ ESPB did not reduce opioid consumption during the 24 h postoperative but attenuated pain intensity during the early period after surgery.
