Randomized Controlled Trial
Evaluating the effects of Esmolol on cardiac function in patients with Septic cardiomyopathy by Speck-tracking echocardiography-a randomized controlled trial.
Esmolol as one treatment of sepsis induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) is still controversial. The objective of this study is to evaluate cardiac function after reducing heart rate by Esmolol in patients with SIC using speck-tracking echocardiography. ⋯ In SIC patients, the application of Esmolol to lower heart rate decreased their short-term mortality while not making any impairment on the myocardial contractility.

Clinical Trial
Preliminary evaluation of SaCoVLM video laryngeal mask-guided intubation in airway management for anesthetized children.
To preliminary evaluate the application of novel SaCoVLM video laryngeal mask -guided intubation for anesthetized children. ⋯ The SaCoVLM video laryngeal mask-guided intubation is feasible in children, with a high success rate, could be a new promising device to guide intubation in airway management.

Clinical Trial
Effect of one-lung ventilation on the correlation between left and right cerebral saturation.
To investigate if the correlation between left and right cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO2) was affected by one-lung ventilation (OLV) in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. ⋯ The correlation between left and right SctO2 was affected by one-lung ventilation in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. This result indicates the requirement of bilateral SctO2 monitoring to reflect brain oxygenation.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficacy of transversalis fascia plane block as a novel ındication for varicocelectomy surgery: prospective randomized controlled study.
Varicocele occurs as a result of dilatation of the pampiniform plexus in the spermatic veins. In this study, our primary aim was to evaluate the effect of Transversalis Fascia Plane Block (TFPB) on pain scores in the postoperative period in patients undergoing varicocelectomy surgery, and our secondary aim was to evaluate the effect of TFPB on analgesic consumption. ⋯ This study has shown that TFPB can provide a more effective analgesia when compared to surgical site infiltration.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of continuous and slow tracheal tube cuff deflation on cough reflex during extubation in noncardiac surgery patients: a randomised clinical trial.
The incidence of cough reflex during extubation is 76%. Cough reflex causes severe hemodynamic fluctuations and airway complications. This prospective trial investigated the potential effects of tracheal tube cuff deflation on cough reflex during extubation. ⋯ Compared with deflating a trachal tube cuff with a 10-ml syringe in 1 s, the use of a 10-ml syringe at a speed of 1 ml s-1 or a cuff pressure guage within 5 s can both reduce the incidence of cough reflex, but deflating with a cuff pressure guage can increase the incidence of postoperative hoarseness.
