Randomized Controlled Trial
Long-term Efficacy of Pectoserratus Plane Block for Prevention of Post-mastectomy Pain Syndrome: Extended Follow-up From a Randomised Controlled Trial.
Pectoserratus plane block (PSPB) leads to lower postoperative pain intensity. We examined whether PSPB could also reduce the incidence of post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS) in women undergoing breast cancer surgery. ⋯ The results suggest that, in the long term, PSPB-treated participants were associated with a statistically significantly lower risk of PMPS than those who received standard general anesthesia.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Comparison of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting Incidence between Remimazolam and Sevoflurane in Tympanoplasty with Mastoidectomy: A Single-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial.
Background and Objectives: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common adverse effect of general anesthesia, especially in middle ear surgery. Remimazolam is a newer benzodiazepine recently approved for use in general anesthesia. This study aimed to compare the incidence rate of PONV after tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy between using remimazolam and sevoflurane. ⋯ The incidence rate of adverse hemodynamic events was lower in the remimazolam group than in the sevoflurane group, but there was no difference in the overall trends of hemodynamic data between the two groups. There was no difference in recovery profiles between the two groups. Conclusions: Remimazolam can significantly reduce the incidence rate of early PONV after tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy under general anesthesia.

Meta Analysis
Meta-analysis of the effect of entropy-assisted general anesthesia on the quality of postoperative recovery.
To evaluate the effect of the quality of postoperative anesthetic resuscitation in patients with entropy index monitoring assisted general anesthesia versus standard clinical practice. ⋯ The application of the entropy index can improve the recovery quality of patients under general anesthesia, not only shortening the postoperative recovery time but also reducing the occurrence of agitation and PONV. It does not affect the incidence of intraoperative awareness.

Associations of systemic oxygen consumption with age and body temperature under general anesthesia: retrospective cohort study.
Body temperature (BT) is thought to have associations with oxygen consumption (VO2). However, there have been few studies in which the association between systemic VO2 and BT in humans was investigated in a wide range of BTs. The aims of this study were 1) to determine the association between VO2 and age and 2) to determine the association between VO2 and BT. ⋯ VO2 increases in parallel with increase in body temperature in a hyperthermic state but remains constant in a hypothermic state. Neonates and infants, who have high VO2, may have a large systemic organ response in VO2 to change in BT.
