Randomized Controlled TrialINJEX50 could improve the success rate of local anesthesia for arterial cannulation in the pediatric intensive care unit: A randomized, double-blind, single-center study.
Quick arterial cannulation is required in pediatric emergency situation, which require effective local anesthesia to avoid withdrawal movement. However, pediatric local anesthesia could be difficult because of withdrawal movement. Jet injectors, which are needleless and provide local anesthesia quickly, could be helpful for pediatric local anesthesia during arterial cannulation. ⋯ Seventy patients were randomly assigned to groups C and I. The local anesthesia success rate in group I (30/35 [86%]) was significantly higher than that in group C (15/35 [43%], odds ratio, 8.00; 95% confidence interval, 2.51-25.5; p = .0005). In conclusion, INJEX50 could improve success rate of local anesthesia for arterial cannulation in pediatric intensive care unit compared with 26-gauge needle.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The association between physical intervention use and treatment outcomes in patients participating in an online and psychologically informed pain management program.
The availability of multidisciplinary care for the management of chronic pain is uncommon outside specialist clinics. The present study aims to determine the physical intervention use of patients participating in an online psychological pain management program and whether exposure to physical interventions in these patients alters treatment outcomes compared with patients who do not access physical interventions. ⋯ Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12613000252718 and ACTRN12615001003561).

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of low-dose ketamine on electroencephalographic spectrum during gynecology surgery under desflurane anesthesia.
The perioperative administration of low-dose ketamine has shown potential in postoperative pain management, opioid sparing, and enhancing pain control. This study aimed to investigate the impact of low-dose ketamine on processed electroencephalography (EEG) signals during anesthesia. ⋯ Low-dose ketamine administration during desflurane anesthesia led to notable changes in EEG patterns and PSi values. These findings provide valuable insights into the impact of ketamine on brain activity, and offer essential information for clinical anesthesiologists.
