Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Effects of neuromuscular block reversal with neostigmine/glycopyrrolate versus sugammadex on bowel motility recovery after laparoscopic colorectal surgery: A randomized controlled trial.
To compare the effects of neostigmine/glycopyrrolate (a traditional agent) and sugammadex on bowel motility recovery and the occurrence of digestive system complications after colorectal surgery. ⋯ The time to the first flatus was shorter using 2 mg.kg-1 sugammadex to reverse the neuromuscular block for laparoscopic colorectal surgery compared to reversal with conventional neostigmine/glycopyrrolate.

Effect of remimazolam versus propofol on hypotension after anesthetic induction in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting: A randomized controlled trial.
There is scarce evidence on the hemodynamic stability of remimazolam during anesthetic induction in patients with significant coronary artery disease. This study aims to compare the effects of remimazolam and propofol on post-induction hypotension in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). ⋯ Remimazolam may offer improved hemodynamic stability during anesthetic induction in patients undergoing CABG, suggesting its potential advantage over propofol for patients with significant coronary artery disease in terms of hemodynamic stability.

Randomized Controlled Trial
A new video laryngoscope combined with flexible laryngeal mask insertion: A prospective randomized study.
The video laryngoscope (VLS) has been proven to be an effective insertion device for airway management. However, no laryngoscope has been specifically designed for the placement of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA). We improved the current VLS and developed a novel VLS method. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of an improved VLS for inserting a flexible laryngeal mask airway (F-LMA) compared with the standard blind method. ⋯ The new VLS-guided insertion technology has a high success rate, achieves greater OLP, and provides an ideal anatomical position with minimal adjustment, without increasing the risk of hemodynamic stress or adverse events.

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a two-step patient blood management (PBM) program in red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirements among patients undergoing elective cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery. ⋯ This study suggests that health care education and systematic deficiency correction are associated with reduced RBC transfusion rates in elective CPB surgery. However, further randomized, controlled studies are needed to validate these findings and refine their clinical application.
