Patients receiving surgical treatment of acute type A Aortic Dissection (aTAAD) are common to suffer organ dysfunction in the intensive care unit due to overwhelming inflammation. Previous studies have revealed that glucocorticoids may reduce complications in certain patient groups, but evidence between postoperative glucocorticoids administration and improvement in organ dysfunction after aTAAD surgery are lacking. ⋯ The trial will explore the rationale for postoperative application of glucocorticoids in patients after aTAAD surgery.

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.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block on postoperative acute pain and chronic post-surgical pain in patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy: a prospective randomized, controlled trial.
To investigate the effects of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) on acute and chronic post-surgical pain in patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy. ⋯ Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block can significantly reduce acute post-surgical pain, can not reduce the incidence of chronic post-surgical pain, but can significantly reduce the severity of chronic pain in patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Comparison of preoxygenation efficiency measured by the oxygen reserve index between high-flow nasal oxygenation and facemask ventilation: a randomised controlled trial.
High-flow nasal oxygenation and the oxygen reserve index (ORI), which is a non-invasive and innovative modality that reflects the arterial oxygen content, are used in general anaesthesia. This study compares the preoxygenation efficiency (measured by the ORI) of high-flow nasal oxygenation and facemask ventilation during the induction process. ⋯ High-flow nasal oxygenation results in an oxygenation status similar to that provided by facemask ventilation during the induction process of general anaesthesia; therefore, high-flow nasal oxygenation is a feasible preoxygenation method.
