Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of postoperative awakening between ciprofol and propofol in elderly patients undergoing hip replacement surgery: a single-blind, randomized, controlled trial.
The aim of this paper was to compare the impact of continuous infusion of ciprofol versus propofol on postoperative awakening in elderly patients following hip replacement surgery. ⋯ Compared to propofol, the administration of ciprofol in elderly patients following hip replacement surgery is associated with prolonged awakening time, spontaneous breathing recovery time, and extubation. The average intravenous maintenance dosage of ciprofol in geriatric patients under general anesthesia was 0.8 mg·kg-1·h-1.

Environmental and economic impact of sustainable anaesthesia interventions: a single-centre retrospective observational study.
Anaesthesia contributes substantially to the environmental impact of healthcare. To reduce the ecological footprint of anaesthesia, a set of sustainability interventions was implemented in the University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland. This study evaluates the environmental and economic implications of these interventions. ⋯ Implementing sustainable anaesthesia interventions can significantly reduce the environmental impact and cost of anaesthesia.

Randomized Controlled TrialAnesthetic-sparing effect of dexmedetomidine during total intravenous anesthesia for children undergoing dental surgery: A randomized controlled trial.
Dexmedetomidine, an α2-adrenergic agonist, reduces propofol and remifentanil requirements when used as an adjunct to total intravenous anesthesia in adults, but studies in a pediatric population are sparse. This study investigates the magnitude of dose-sparing effects of a postinduction dexmedetomidine bolus on propofol and remifentanil requirements during pediatric surgery. ⋯ Dexmedetomidine 1 mcg/kg reduced the propofol and remifentanil requirements during maintenance of anesthesia in children when administered as a postinduction bolus.
