Review Meta Analysis
The effect of intravenous ketamine on depressive symptoms after surgery: A systematic review.
The development of depressive symptoms is an important complication experienced by patients postoperatively and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Ketamine is a feasible treatment option for depressive symptoms after surgery due to its known antidepressant effect. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the current body of research regarding the effects of intravenous ketamine on depressive symptoms after surgery. ⋯ The current evidence supports intravenous ketamine administration for the treatment of depressive symptoms after surgery. While ketamine administration has clinically significant side effects, future studies are needed in surgical populations at high risk of complications.

To evaluate the impact of high flow nasal oxygenation (HFNO) on the risk of hypoxemia during gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures (GEPs) under sedation. ⋯ Our results demonstrated the efficacy of high flow nasal oxygenation for reducing the risk of hypoxemia in patients receiving elective gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures under sedation. Further studies are warranted to verify its cost-effectiveness in the gastrointestinal endoscopy setting.
