Meta AnalysisRemimazolam versus propofol for procedural sedation and anesthesia: a systemic review and meta-analysis.
The aim of this systemic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of remimazolam compared with propofol when used for procedural sedation and general anesthesia. ⋯ Remimazolam could be alternatively used in procedural sedation and general anesthesia. Additional research is needed to develop higher quality evidence on the use of remimazolam, especially in general anesthesia.

Meta AnalysisNorepinephrine versus phenylephrine for post-spinal hypotension in parturients undergoing caesarean section: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Multiple studies have compared varying prophylactic and therapeutic doses of norepinephrine and phenylephrine given as either intermittent bolus or fixed-rate infusion to combat postspinal hypotension in patients undergoing cesarean section (CS). We conducted a systematic review to figure out the best alternative to treat postspinal hypotension. ⋯ Comparable efficacy for management of postspinal hypotension, though, norepinephrine was found to cause less incidence of maternal bradycardia as compared to phenylephrine.
