Non-AT-III mediated heparin-resistance during CPB occurs by complex-forming with heparin-binding proteins. Currently, there are no specific recommendations for non-AT-III mediated heparin-resistance.
Body temperature (BT) is thought to have associations with oxygen consumption (VO2). However, there have been few studies in which the association between systemic VO2 and BT in humans was investigated in a wide ...
Disconcerting reports from different EU countries during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the demand for supporting decision instruments and recommendations in case tertiary triage is neede...
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common postoperative disorder that is frequently observed after general anesthesia, which seriously threatens the quality of patients’ life. Existing studies hav...
General anesthesia results in a state of unconsciousness that is similar to sleep. In recent years, increasing evidence has reported that astrocytes play a crucial role in regulating sleep. However, whether as...

Intraoperative autologous transfusion (IAT) has been used in scoliosis surgery for decades; however, its cost-effectiveness remains debatable. This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of IAT in adol...
Goldenhar syndrome is a congenital disease that involves an absence or underdevelopment of structures that arise from the first and second pharyngeal arches and more or less severe extracranial anomalies. A va...
Postoperative analgesia in breast surgery is difficult due to the extensive nature of the surgery and the complex innervation of the breast; general anesthesia can be associated with regional anesthesia techni...
The Bispectral Index (BIS) and the Patient State Index (PSI) are commonly used measures to assess intraoperative sedation depth. However, model differences lead to different results, which in turn interferes ...
Pediatric airway management is a huge challenge for anaesthetists, and airway-related complications should be actively addressed and focused on.

Critical incident reporting and analysis is one of the key components of patient safety in anesthesiology. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and characteristics of critical incidents during ...
To observe the changes in hemodynamic, stress and inflammatory responses during labor and their labor outcomes after continuous spinal anesthesia labor analgesia for hypertensive pregnant women, and to evaluat...
Patients who undergo gastrointestinal endoscopy often require propofol-based sedation combined with analgesics. At present, the efficacy and safety of esketamine as an adjunct to propofol for sedation during e...
Patients treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) may experience a reversal of day and night. The circadian rhythm in ICU patients can be disturbed.
Transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) has received extensive attention for its utility in tubeless anesthesia. Still, the effects of its carbon dioxide accumulation on emergenc...
Regional anesthesia appears to reduce cancer recurrence, but the optimal anesthesia modality for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) were still under debate. Therefore, we sought to assess the effect of...
Ejection fraction (EF), which is assessed using ultrasonography, is a standard parameter for evaluating cardiac function in clinical cardiology and for cardiovascular management during general anesthesia. Howe...
