Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of volume-controlled ventilation, pressure-controlled ventilation and pressure-controlled ventilation-volume guaranteed in infants and young children in the prone position: A prospective randomized study.
To explore if the pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) and pressure-controlled ventilation-volume guaranteed (PCV-VG) modes are superior to volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) in optimizing intraoperative respiratory mechanics in infants and young children in the prone position. ⋯ In infants and young children undergoing spinal cord detethering surgery in the prone position, PCV-VG may be a better ventilation mode due to its ability to mitigate the increase in Ppeak and decrease in Cdyn while maintaining consistent VT.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Comparisons in analgesic effects between ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block and surgical intercostal nerve block after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: A randomized controlled trial.
This study aimed to compare the analgesic effects of anesthesiologist-administrated erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and surgeon-administrated intercostal nerve block (ICNB) following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). ⋯ Both anesthesiologist-administered ultrasound-guided ESPB and surgeon-administered VATS ICNB were effective analgesic techniques for patients undergoing VATS for tumor resection.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Fospropofol disodium versus propofol for long-term sedation during invasive mechanical ventilation: A pilot randomized clinical trial.
Fospropofol disodium is a propofol prodrug that is water-soluble and has a reduced risk of bacterial contamination and hypertriglyceridemia compared with propofol. Prior to implementing a large randomized trial, we investigated the feasibility, initial efficacy, and safety of fospropofol disodium compared with propofol in long-term mild-to-moderate sedation in intensive care units (ICUs). ⋯ Fospropofol disodium appears to be a feasible, effective and safe sedative for patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation with long-term sedation.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Flurbiprofen in the subglottic space to prevent postoperative sore throat after cardiac surgery: A randomized double-blind study.
Postoperative sore throat (POST) and hoarseness are common complications of tracheal intubation. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of flurbiprofen administered through the subglottic port of tracheal tubes to prevent POST after cardiac surgery. ⋯ Repeated administration of flurbiprofen through the subglottic port of tracheal tubes reduced the incidence of sore throat and hoarseness after cardiac surgery without evidence of complications.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of postoperative intermittent boluses of subcostal quadratus lumborum block on pulmonary function recovery and analgesia after gastrectomy: a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Following the gastrectomy, the reduction in pulmonary function is partly attributed to postoperative pain. Subcostal quadratus lumborum block (QLB) has recently emerged as a promising component in multimodal analgesia. We aimed to assess the impact of intermittent boluses of subcostal QLB on pulmonary function recovery and analgesic efficacy after gastrectomy. ⋯ Postoperative intermittent boluses of subcostal QLB did not confer advantages in terms of the preservation of FEV1 or pain scores on coughing 24 h after gastrectomy. However, notable effects were observed in analgesia at rest and FVC recovery.
