Multicenter StudyOutcomes of Anesthesia Selection in Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke.
The association between anesthesia type and outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular treatment (EVT) remains a subject of ongoing debate. ⋯ The data indicated that the selection of GA or CS during EVT had no impact on the independent outcomes of patients with anterior circulation occlusion.

Multicenter StudyProlonged Anesthetic Exposure in Children and Factors Associated With Exposure Duration.
Anesthetic exposure duration has come under scrutiny because of a Food and Drug Administration warning against prolonged use of anesthesia in children, defined as exposures longer than 3 hours. ⋯ Most pediatric anesthetic exposures last <1 hour with a small percentage lasting over 3 hours. Anesthetic duration for inpatient pediatric procedures, however, is associated with specific patient and hospital characteristics. These results may help identify children potentially at risk for prolonged anesthetic exposure and inform procedure time prediction and operating room scheduling.
