This study aimed to compile data on the effectiveness of music therapy for patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. ⋯ Music therapy can significantly reduce anxiety, pain, HR, SBP, and postoperative opioid use and even improve SpO2 in patients who undergo cardiothoracic surgery. Music therapy has a positive effect on patients after cardiothoracic surgery with few side effects, so it is promising for use in clinics.

Meta AnalysisEffectiveness of Adaptive Support Ventilation in Facilitating Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation in Postoperative Patients.
This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of adaptive support ventilation (ASV) in facilitating postoperative weaning from mechanical ventilation in cardiac surgery patients. ⋯ ASV appears to facilitate a shorter time to extubation in postoperative cardiac surgery patients compared to conventional ventilation, suggesting benefits in accelerating the weaning process and reducing mechanical ventilation duration.

Meta AnalysisAssociation between elevated preoperative VE/VCO2 slope and increased mortality following major surgery: a meta-analysis.
The relationship between preoperative VE/VCO
2 slope and mortality in adults undergoing major surgery is not well-established. ⋯ Elevated preoperative VE/V CO2 slope is associated with an increased risk of postoperative short- and long-term mortality in adults undergoing major surgery. -

Efficacy of different routes of acetaminophen administration for postoperative pain in children: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Acetaminophen is the most common drug used to treat acute pain in the pediatric population, given its wide safety margin, low cost, and multiple routes for administration. We sought to determine the most efficacious route of acetaminophen administration for postoperative acute pain relief in the pediatric surgical population. ⋯ PROSPERO (CRD42021286495); first submitted 19 November 2021.

Adductor Canal Block versus Femoral Nerve Block in Total Knee Arthroplasty: Network Meta-Analysis.
The quality of postoperative analgesia in total knee arthroplasty is crucial for patient recovery, rehabilitation, and hospital stay duration. In line with the above, а single-shot adductor canal block has been considered as an improved method over continuous femoral nerve block. However, continuous adductor canal block and single-shot femoral nerve block have been not adequately addressed in the discussion. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of various types of adductor and femoral nerve blocks on clinically relevant outcomes in patients following total knee arthroplasty. ⋯ The shift from continuous femoral nerve block to single-shot adductor canal block as the preferred method for pain relief after total knee arthroplasty may be premature. While the latter improves mobility, it falls short in pain control and does not shorten hospital stays. Continuous adductor canal block shows promise but is currently underappreciated, and single-shot femoral nerve block is often overshadowed by other techniques in regional anesthesia. Further high-quality, multicenter randomized controlled trials are needed to validate these findings.
