Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyHands-free induction of general anaesthesia: a randomised pilot study comparing usual care and high-flow nasal oxygen.
Pre-induction high-flow nasal oxygenation may be an acceptable alternative to traditional face-mask pre-oxygenation, with patient-comfort benefits.

Multicenter StudySurvival after primary breast cancer surgery following propofol or sevoflurane general anesthesia - aretrospective, multicenter, database analysis of 6,305 Swedish patients.
Retrospective studies indicate that the choice of anesthetic can affect long-term cancer survival. Propofol seems to have an advantage over sevoflurane. However, this is questioned for breast cancer. We gathered a large cohort of breast cancer surgery patients from seven Swedish hospitals and hypothesized that general anesthesia with propofol would be superior to sevoflurane anesthesia regarding long-term breast cancer survival. ⋯ It seems that propofol may have a survival advantage compared with sevoflurane among breast cancer patients, but the inherent weaknesses of retrospective analyses were made apparent.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyEfficacy and safety of remimazolam versus propofol for general anesthesia: a multicenter, single-blind, randomized, parallel-group, phase IIb/III trial.
This trial was conducted to confirm the non-inferiority of remimazolam versus propofol in the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in surgical patients. ⋯ This trial is registered with the Japan Pharmaceutical Information Center - Clinical Trials Information (JapicCTI). JapicCTI number: 121973.
