Meta Analysis
Effect of different anesthetic modalities on postoperative delirium in elderly hip fractures: A meta-analysis.
Previous findings on the effect of general versus spinal anesthesia on postoperative delirium in elderly people with hip fractures are somewhat controversial. This article included the latest randomized controlled study for meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of general anesthesia (GA) and spinal anesthesia (SA) on delirium after hip fracture surgery in the elderly, so as to guide the clinical. ⋯ There is no significant difference in the effect of GA and SA on postoperative delirium in elderly patients with hip fracture, and their effects on postoperative complications are similar.

Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Local anesthesia versus general anesthesia for surgical drainage of chronic subdural hematoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
The optimal anesthetic technique for surgical drainage of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is still uncertain. We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to determine if local anesthesia with or without sedation (LA) or general anesthesia (GA) results in better outcomes for surgical drainage of CSDH. ⋯ PROSPERO (CRD42022333388); first submitted 1 June 2022.

Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Comparing perioperative outcomes between regional anesthesia and general anesthesia in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Nearly all patients with hip fractures undergo surgical treatment. The use of different anesthesia techniques during surgery may influence the clinical outcomes. The optimal anesthetic technique for patients undergoing hip fracture surgery is still controversial. We performed this updated systematic review and meta-analysis to compare clinical outcomes of patients undergoing hip fracture surgery with different anesthesia techniques. ⋯ PROSPERO (CRD42023411854); registered 7 April 2023.

Review Meta Analysis
Efficacy and safety of Ciprofol compared with Propofol during general anesthesia induction: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT).
Ciprofol, a newer entrant with similarities to propofol, has shown promise with a potentially improved safety profile, making it an attractive alternative for induction of general anesthesia. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of ciprofol compared with propofol during general anesthesia induction. ⋯ Propofol, frequently utilized as an anesthetic, provides swift onset and quick recovery. However, it has drawbacks such as a narrow effective dosage range and a high occurrence of adverse effects, particularly pain upon injection. Ciprofol, a more recent drug with propofol-like properties, has demonstrated promise and may have an improved safety profile, making it a compelling alternative for inducing general anesthesia. This meta-analysis compared the safety and effectiveness of Ciprofol with Propofol for general anesthesia induction in a range of medical procedures, encompassing thirteen Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and 1998 individuals. The pooled analysis indicated that Ciprofol was associated with a notably lower incidence of pain upon injection [RR: 0.15; 95% CI: 0.10 to 0.23; I^2 = 43%, p < 0.0000001] and was non-inferior to propofol in terms of anesthesia success rate [RR: 1.00; 95% CI: 0.99 to 1.01; I^2 = 0%; p = 0.43]. In terms of safety, the incidence of hypotension was significantly lower in the ciprofol group [RR:0.82; 95% CI:0.68 to 0.98; I^2 = 48%; p = 0.03]. However, no statistically significant differences were found for hypertension, bradycardia, or tachycardia. In conclusion, ciprofol is equally effective at inducing and maintaining general anesthesia as propofol. When compared to propofol, ciprofol is a better alternative sedative for operations including fiberoptic bronchoscopy, gynecological procedures, gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures, and elective surgeries because it has less adverse effects, most notably less painful injections.

Review Meta Analysis
Individualized PEEP guided by EIT in patients undergoing general anesthesia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
The determination of optimal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) values in patients undergoing general anesthesia remains controversial. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) directed individualized PEEP has emerged as a novel approach to PEEP setting and has garnered increasing attention. This meta-analysis aims to systematically assess the effect of EIT-guided PEEP setting compared to traditional fixed PEEP values or other PEEP titration strategies in patients undergoing general anesthesia. ⋯ Our meta-analysis suggests potential benefits of EIT-guided individualized PEEP setting in improving intraoperative oxygenation and lung compliance in patients undergoing general anesthesia. However, further research is needed to establish conclusive evidence, and caution should be exercised in interpreting these findings as the current literature remains inconclusive regarding the impact on intraoperative hemodynamics and postoperative complications.
