Decrease in histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG) was reported as a cause of dysregulation of the coagulation-fibrinolysis and immune systems, leading to multi-organ failure, and it may be a biomarker for sepsis, ...
To use gastric ultrasound to evaluate function and to determine the start time of enteral nutrition (EN) in patients with acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI).
Persistent postoperative pain causes influence the life quality of many patients. The Epac/PKC pathway has been indicated to regulate mechanical hyperalgesia. The present study used skin/muscle incision and re...
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) are a common complication of the central nervous system following surgery and anesthesia. The specific pathogenesis and effective therapeutics of POCD need to be furt...
To compare the effects of unassisted spontaneous breathing (SB) and complete muscle paralysis (PC) on early severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in an animal model, and to explore the possibility ...
Early randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the benefits of tight glucose control. Subsequent NICE-SUGAR study found that tight glucose control increased mortality. The optimal glucose target in diabe...
Remimazolam is a novel intravenous benzodiazepine that is appropriate for the maintenance of anesthesia. Quality of recovery is an important component of health care quality, but there is no published randomiz...
To investigate the analgesic effect and rehabilitation quality of patients undergoing thoracoscopic wedge resection of the lung under erector spinae plane (ESP) block with dexmedetomidine combined with the sam...
To investigate the effect of a bilateral paravertebral block (PVB) on cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Previous studies examining removal of endotracheal tubes and supraglottic devices under deep anesthesia were underpowered to identify rare complications. This study sought to report all adverse events associat...
The erector spinae plane (ESP) block has recently been shown to effectively alleviate postoperative pain and reduce opioid consumption in breast surgery patients. However, data are still limited concerning the...
Methods for improving the safety of medical treatments for patients, reducing the occurrence of postoperative complications and optimizing medical resources for primary hip replacement are needed. Previous lit...
The neural integrity monitor (NIM) electromyogram (EMG) endotracheal (ET) tube is a widely used device to monitor neural response through muscle activity. It is helpful in surgical procedures with high risk of...
