Review Meta AnalysisRespiratory and haemodynamic perioperative adverse events in intravenous versus inhalational induction in paediatric anaesthesia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Perioperative respiratory and hemodynamic adverse events are still a cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric anesthesia. It has been suggested that volatile agents might be associated with more respiratory adverse events compared to intravenous agents (eg, propofol), which have been associated with a higher risk of bradycardia compared to volatile agents. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the risk of perioperative hemodynamic and respiratory adverse events, comparing intravenous induction with inhalational induction in pediatric anesthesia. ⋯ More respiratory adverse events during and after inhalation induction were found, in particular in children with multiple risk factors for respiratory adverse events. This did not reach significance. Future research should include a large randomized controlled trial comparing inhalation and intravenous induction with respiratory and hemodynamic adverse events as primary outcome and adequately blinded outcome assessors.

Volatile Anesthetics versus Propofol for Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Meta-analysis of Randomized Trials.
Volatile anaesthesia is associated with both lower long-term mortality and less myocardial infarction compared to propofol anaesthesia for cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass.

Recent studies have suggested that propofol combined butorphanol (PB) has anesthetic effect in laparoscopic surgery (LS) for ectopic pregnancy (EP). But investigations of its potential effects are inconsistent. We will explore the current literature examining PB in LS for EP. ⋯ INPLASY202040044.

Review Meta AnalysisPropofol versus midazolam with or without short-acting opioids for sedation in colonoscopy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of safety, satisfaction, and efficiency outcomes.
Propofol is increasingly being used for sedation in colonoscopy; however, its benefits over midazolam (± short-acting opioids) are not well quantified. The objective of this study was to compare safety, satisfaction, and efficiency outcomes of propofol versus midazolam (± short-acting opioids) in patients undergoing colonoscopy. ⋯ Both propofol and midazolam (± short-acting opioids) result in high patient satisfaction and appear to be safe for use in colonoscopy. The marginal benefits to propofol are small improvements in satisfaction and recovery time.

Meta AnalysisKetamine sedation in mechanically ventilated patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Ketamine use as a sedative agent in mechanically ventilated patients is increasing. This systematic review and meta-analysis collates existing literature and quantifies the impact of ketamine in mechanically ventilated patients. ⋯ The data regarding ketamine use in mechanically ventilated patients is limited in terms of quantity, methodological quality, and demonstrated clinical benefit. Ketamine may play a role as a sedative-sparing agent, but may be associated with harm. High-quality studies are needed before widespread adoption of ketamine earlier in the sedation pathway.
