Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of propofol and desflurane for postanaesthetic morbidity in patients undergoing surgery for aneurysmal SAH: a randomized clinical trial.
Surgery for aneurysmal clipping after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) poses a unique anaesthetic challenge. However, data on the influence of anaesthetic agents in these patients are lacking. The study aims to evaluate the superiority of propofol over desflurane for postanaesthetic morbidity in patients undergoing surgery following aneurysmal SAH. ⋯ Propofol and desflurane are comparable in terms of postoperative morbidity in patients undergoing aneurysm neck clipping following SAH.

Impact of intervention time on hospital survival in patients requiring emergent airway management: a preliminary study.
The time in the day of intervention for physiological deterioration reportedly impacts patient outcomes. This study aimed at determining the impact of the time of ETI on hospital survival in critically ill patients. ⋯ Emergent tracheal intubation in the nighttime may not have negative impact on the survival-to-discharge rate compared with that performed in the daytime.

Comparative Study Observational StudySatisfaction rate of patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy as day-case surgery compared to conventional hospitalization: a prospective non-randomized study.
Day-case surgery (DCS) has boomed over recent years. However, day-case bariatric surgery remains controversial due to a lack of evaluation. The objective of this study was to compare the experiences and satisfaction with general anesthesia of patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG) as DCS compared to conventional hospitalization. ⋯ Overall satisfaction of patients undergoing SG as day-case surgery was not inferior to that of patients managed by conventional hospitalization.
