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.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Lung-protective ventilation and postoperative pulmonary complications during pulmonary resection in children: A prospective, single-centre, randomised controlled trial.
Children are more susceptible to postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) due to their smaller functional residual capacity and higher closing volume; however, lung-protective ventilation (LPV) in children requiring one-lung ventilation (OLV) has been relatively underexplored. ⋯ LPV did not decrease the occurrence of PPCs compared to non-protective ventilation. Although lung compliance and oxygenation were higher in the driving pressure group than in the 5 cmH 2 O PEEP group, these benefits did not translate into significant reductions in PPCs. However, the study is limited by a small sample size, which may affect the interpretation of the results. Future research with larger sample sizes is necessary to confirm these findings.

Randomized Controlled TrialUltrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane block in the management of postoperative analgesia in living liver donors: a randomized, prospective study.
Living donor hepatectomy is a procedure associated with notable postoperative pain, impacting patient recovery and satisfaction. Addressing this challenge, we aimed to examine the effect of ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in postoperative analgesia management of patients undergoing living donor hepatectomy for liver transplantation. ⋯ ESPB displayed promise in effectively managing post-living donor hepatectomy pain, resulting in decreased opioid consumption, improved pain relief, and reduced rescue analgesia requirements. This technique holds potential to enhance recovery and patient satisfaction following donor hepatectomy.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Continuous vital sign monitoring on surgical wards: The COSMOS pilot.
Alerts for vital sign abnormalities seek to identify meaningful patient instability while limiting alarm fatigue. Optimal vital sign alarm settings for postoperative patients remain unknown, as is whether alerts lead to effective clinical responses reducing vital sign disturbances. We conducted a 2-phase pilot study to identify thresholds and delays and test the hypothesis that alerts from continuous monitoring reduce the duration of vital sign abnormalities. ⋯ gov registration: NCT05280574.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
High-frequency, high-intensity TENS compared to standard treatment with opioids for postoperative pain relief after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A multicentre randomized controlled trial.
Adverse effects of opioids could prolong the duration of stay in the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU). This study aimed to assess time in the PACU and the pain-relieving effect of high-frequency, high-intensity transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (HFHI TENS) versus standard treatment with intravenous (IV) opioids. ⋯ In this multicentre, RCT time in the PACU and the pain-relieving effect of HFHI TENS was compared to standard treatment with IV opioids. There were no differences between the groups regarding time in the PACU, time to pain relief and side effects but opioid consumption in the HFHI TENS group was significantly lower. Both groups reported high satisfaction with pain treatment and care. In summary, HFHI TENS should be considered a safe, fast-onsetting, opioid-sparing option for postoperative pain relief.
