To explore the relationship between the timing of non-emergency surgery in mild or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) infected individuals and the quality of postoperative recovery from the time of confirmed infection to the day of surgery. ⋯ The timing of surgery in mild or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infected patients does not affect long-term recovery quality but does impact short-term recovery quality, especially for elective general anaesthesia surgeries within 2 weeks of confirmed infection. Therefore, it is recommended to wait for a surgical timing of at least greater than 2 weeks to improve short-term recovery quality and enhance patient prognosis.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparisons of different general anesthetic techniques on immune function in patients undergoing flap reconstruction for oral cancer.
Anesthetic-induced immunosuppression is of particular interest in tumor surgery. This study aimed to investigate the influence of the 4 most common general anesthetic techniques on immune function in patients undergoing flap reconstruction for oral cancer. ⋯ These findings suggest that PD as a probably optimal choice can alleviate immunosuppression in patients undergoing flap reconstruction for oral cancer.

Observational Study
Accuracy of oscillometric noninvasive blood pressure at the ankle in the lateral position during general anesthesia.
This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of ankle blood pressure measurements in relation to invasive blood pressure in the lateral position. ⋯ In patients under general anesthesia in the lateral position, ankle blood pressure measurements are not interchangeable with the corresponding invasive measurements. However, an ankle MAP > 86 mmHg can exclude hypotension with 99% accuracy, and an ankle SBP < 144 mmHg can exclude hypertension with 95% accuracy.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A randomized comparison of three intubation techniques/tube materials for nasotracheal intubation.
We sought to compare three intubation methods using different intubation techniques/tube materials for tube advancement from the nasal cavity into the oral cavity during nasotracheal intubation. ⋯ ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04695444); first submitted 30 December 2020.

Review Meta Analysis
Effectiveness of preoxygenation strategies: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Preoxygenation is universally recommended before induction of general anaesthesia to prolong safe apnoea time. The optimal technique for preoxygenation is unclear. We conducted a systematic review to determine the preoxygenation technique associated with the greatest effectiveness in adult patients having general anaesthesia. ⋯ PROSPERO CRD42022326046.
