Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of S-ketamine on Postoperative Quality of Recovery in Patients Undergoing Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery.
S-ketamine is associated with effective postoperative analgesia and enhanced quality of recovery (QoR). The study aimed to investigate the effect of perioperative S-ketamine on postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). ⋯ The present study's findings suggested that perioperative S-ketamine enhanced the quality of recovery in patients undergoing VATS. S-ketamine also improved postoperative analgesia and postoperative depression.

Randomized Controlled TrialImpact of High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation Combined With Volume Guarantee on Lung Inflammatory Response in Infants With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome After Congenital Heart Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Congenital heart disease (CHD) after cardiopulmonary bypass can cause systemic inflammation, and its degree is closely related to the incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) combined with volume guarantee (VG) in reducing systemic inflammation in infants with ARDS after cardiopulmonary bypass for congenital heart surgery. ⋯ Compared with HFOV alone, HFOV-VG reduced proinflammatory systemic reactions after congenital cardiac surgery, decreased the incidences of hypercapnia and hypocapnia, and shortened the postoperative mechanical ventilation duration.
