Safe Landing: Feasibility and Safety of Operating Room Extubation in Minimally Invasive Cardiac Valve Surgery.
This study was designed to explore key safety outcomes after operating room (OR) extubation in minimally invasive cardiac valve surgery. ⋯ OR extubation was not associated with increased postoperative delirium or reintubation rates but did decrease intubation duration. Successful OR extubation relies upon the consideration of various patient perioperative characteristics.

Comparative Study Observational StudyA Retrospective Comparative Study of the Frequency of Hypotension in Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization under General Anesthesia: Remimazolam versus Sevoflurane.
To compare the incidence of hypotension between remimazolam and sevoflurane under general anesthesia for cardiac catheterization in patients with congenital heart disease. ⋯ Remimazolam was not associated with a lower incidence of hypotension compared to sevoflurane during pediatric cardiac catheterization for congenital heart disease while maintaining significantly higher blood pressure overall.
