Review Meta Analysis
Comparison of local and regional anesthesia modalities in breast surgery: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Moderate to severe postoperative pain occurs in up to 60% of women following breast operations. Our aim was to perform a network meta-analysis and systematic review to compare the efficacy and side effects of different analgesic strategies in breast surgery. ⋯ In breast surgery, regional anesthesia modalities were preferable from an analgesic perspective to control or LA infiltration, with a clinically significant decrease in pain score and cumulative opioid consumption, and limited differences were present between regional anesthetic techniques themselves.

To clarify whether intraoperative hypotension contributes to the development of postoperative cognitive dysfunction. ⋯ This systematic review showed no conclusive association between intraoperative hypotension and the development of postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Given the vast methodological differences of the included studies, the role of intraoperative hypotension in the development of postoperative cognitive dysfunction remains uncertain. Future research into the association between intraoperative hypotension and postoperative cognitive dysfunction should be conducted in a standardized manner.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Perioperative high inspired oxygen fraction induces atelectasis in patients undergoing abdominal surgery: A randomized controlled trial.
We evaluated the feasibility of use and effects on postoperative atelectasis and complications of lower inspired oxygen fraction (FIO2) compared to conventional oxygen therapy. ⋯ Based on our findings, decreased inspired oxygen fraction during anesthesia and recovery did not cause hypoxic events, but instead reduced immediate postoperative atelectasis. The use of intraoperative conventional higher inspired oxygen did not afford any clinical advantages for postoperative recovery in abdominal surgery.
