Observational Study
An observational study on the application of fast-track cardiac anesthesia using target-controlled infusion of sufentanil and propofol in valve replacement surgery.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of fast-track cardiac anesthesia using target-controlled infusion of sufentanil and propofol in valve replacement surgery. The clinical data of 88 patients with rheumatic heart disease undergoing valve replacement surgery were retrospectively analyzed and grouped based on different treatment methods. Among them, 44 cases received fast-track cardiac anesthesia using target-controlled infusion of fentanyl and propofol from November 2019 to July 2021 were set as the control group, and 44 cases received fast-track cardiac anesthesia using target-controlled infusion of sufentanil and propofol from August 2021 to February 2022 were set as the study group. ⋯ At T5 and T6, both groups exhibited higher ACTH, cortisol (Cor), and C3a than at T0, and the study group showed significantly lower ACTH, Cor, and C3a at T5 and T6 than the control group (P < .05). At T7, the control group showed higher ACTH, Cor, and C3a than at T0, and ACTH, Cor, and C3a were significantly lower in the study group than in the control group at T7 (P < .05). Fast-track cardiac anesthesia using target-controlled infusion of sufentanil and propofol in valve replacement surgery has demonstrated favorable application effects, which stabilizes hemodynamics, alleviates myocardial damage, suppresses endocrine stress responses, and does not increase adverse reactions, thereby exhibiting good safety.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparative efficacy and safety of ciprofol, propofol, and propofol and etomidate mixture, and ciprofol and etomidate mixture in patients undergoing painless gastroscopy: A randomized, double-blind controlled clinical trial.
To compare the efficacy and safety of ciprofol, propofol, propofol and etomidate mixture or ciprofol and etomidate mixture in patients undergoing painless gastroscopic anesthesia, and to explore the optimal plan to relieve the patient's discomfort. ⋯ Ciprofol demonstrated efficacy in inducing sedation or anesthesia during painless gastroscopy that was similar to propofol, while exhibiting a comparable safety profile. Moreover, the combination of propofol and etomidate, as well as the combination of ciprofol and etomidate, were both shown to be equally safe and effective for this clinical application. These findings suggest that ciprofol can be considered as a safe and effective alternative for painless gastroscopy, and the ciprofol-etomidate mixture may be a better choice.

Perioperative inflammatory responses are a series of endogenous immune responses produced by the body following surgical trauma. Excessive inflammatory response weakens the body's ability to repair surgical trauma and reduces the body's defense against the invasion of harmful factors, leading to a series of complications, such as infections, pain, and organ damage, which prolong the length of hospitalization and increase the risk of death. ⋯ Several recent studies have shown that lidocaine modulates the body's inflammatory response, and that its anti-inflammatory properties can lead to analgesia, organ protection, and improved postoperative recovery. In this paper, we introduce the mechanism of the modulating effect of lidocaine on the perioperative inflammatory response and its clinical application, to provide a reference for the clinical prevention and treatment of the perioperative inflammatory response.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of systemic lidocaine infusion on optic nerve sheath diameter during laparoscopic hysterectomy: a randomized controlled study.
During laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH), the elevation of intra-abdominal and intra-thoracic pressures due to pneumoperitoneum (PP) results in an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP). The Trendelenburg position (TP) is an accentuating factor. This trial aimed to assess the effect of intravenous (IV) lidocaine infusion on optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), a widely accepted surrogate measure for ICP, during PP and TP. ⋯ IV lidocaine during LH can attenuate the ONSD distension, decrease pain scores at PACU arrival, and reduce the incidence of postoperative headache.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Visceral Block in Bariatric Surgery: A Pilot Double Blind Randomized Clinical Study.
Local anesthetics are used in various sites and mechanisms to maximize perioperative analgesia and reduce opioid use and side effects. Pain management in the bariatric setting is challenging and the efficacy of local anesthetics intraoperatively is under current evaluation. ⋯ Visceral block is a safe and feasible intraoperative procedure. A trend toward its efficacy warrants future larger scale studies.
