Randomized Controlled TrialGastroscopy sedation: clinical trial comparing propofol and sufentanil with or without remimazolam.
Propofol-sufentanil is often used in clinical anesthesia for patients undergoing sedative gastroscopy, but there are still adverse events such as longer recovery time, respiratory depression and higher doses of propofol etc. This study was to evaluate the sedative effect of remimazolam-propofol-sufentanil in sedative gastroscopy. ⋯ In clinical practice, remimazolam-propofol-sufentanil sedative scheme has more advantages than propofol-sufentanil sedative scheme.

Ten conditions where lung ultrasonography may fail: limits, pitfalls and lessons learned from a computer-aided algorithmic approach.
Lung ultrasonography provides relevant information on morphological and functional changes occurring in the lungs. However, it correlates weakly with pulmonary congestion and extra vascular lung water. Moreover, there is lack of consensus on scoring systems and acquisition protocols. The automation of this technique may provide promising easy-to-use clinical tools to reduce inter- and intra-observer variability and to standardize scores, allowing faster data collection without increased costs and patients risks.
