  Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study

  Propofol compared with sevoflurane general anaesthesia is associated with decreased delayed neurocognitive recovery in older adults.

  The choice of general anaesthetics may affect postoperative cognitive outcomes. This study was designed to compare the potential impact of propofol-based vs sevoflurane-based general anaesthesia on the development of delayed neurocognitive recovery in older adults early after major cancer surgery. ⋯ NCT02662257; Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (identifier: ChiCTR-IPR-15006209).

  Clinical Trial

  Carotid ultrasound measurements for assessing fluid responsiveness in spontaneously breathing patients: corrected flow time and respirophasic variation in blood flow peak velocity.

  This study evaluated the ability of two Doppler ultrasound-derived parameters, the carotid corrected flow time (FTc) and respirophasic variation in carotid artery blood flow peak velocity (ΔVpeak), to predict fluid responsiveness in spontaneously breathing patients. ⋯ NCT 02843477.
