To investigate the prescription rate of short-term systemic use of glucocorticoids during hospitalization in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS), and outcomes related with glucocorticoid use. ⋯ Real-world data showed that short-term systemic use of glucocorticoids was common in CS patients. Importantly, these prescriptions were associated with increased risks of adverse events.

The use of intravenous analgesics during emergency cesarean section may lead to adverse neonatal outcomes. In our study, we investigated whether a single intravenous (i.v.) dose of 25 mg esketamine administered to parturients with inadequate analgesia during epidural anesthesia for cesarean section would affect the neonate. ⋯ Intravenous esketamine (25 mg) is safe for neonates when it is given to parturients transferred from labor analgesia to emergency cesarean section.

Clinical Trial
Efficacy of perioperative duloxetine as a part of multimodal analgesia in laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgeries.
Although laparoscopic surgery provides earlier recovery, less morbidity and hospital stay, however, severe pain is still a problem after it. Duloxetine has been recently used in postoperative pain management. We tested perioperative duloxetine to evaluate its effect on patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. ⋯ Perioperative duloxetine had reduced postoperative pain, decreased opioid consumption, and improved the quality of recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Acute postoperative hypertension (APH) is a common complication during the anesthesia recovery period that can lead to adverse outcomes, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. Identification of risk factors for APH will allow for preoperative optimization and appropriate perioperative management. This study aimed to identify risk factors for APH. ⋯ The risk of acute postoperative hypertension increased with age over 65 years, female patients, intraoperative hypertension and restlessness during anesthesia recovery. Intraoperative use of dexmedetomidine was a protective factor for APH.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Use of sugammadex is associated with reduced incidence and severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting in adult patients with obesity undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery: a post-hoc analysis.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common but troublesome complication in patients who undergo laparoscopic bariatric surgery (LBS). Whether sugammadex use is related to the persistent decrease in the occurrence of PONV during postoperative inpatient hospitalization, which is critical for the rehabilitation of patients after LBS, remains unknown. ⋯ Compared with neostigmine, sugammadex can reduce the incidence and severity of PONV, increase postoperative water intake, and shorten the time to first flatus in bariatric patients during postoperative inpatient hospitalization, which may play a pivotal role in enhanced recovery.
