Patients undergoing corneal abrasion as part of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) under general anesthesia suffer from early burning pain postoperatively. This pain appears to be poorly treatable with systemic analgesics. This study aims to evaluate postoperative pain management using topical lidocaine gel after DMEK with iatrogenic corneal abrasion. ⋯ Patients undergoing DMEK with corneal abrasion suffer significant pain in the recovery room. A single dose of topic lidocaine gel reduces the early postoperative burning pain sufficiently and does not affect the surgical outcome.

Randomized Controlled Trial
A comparative study of esketamine-dexmedetomidine and sufentanil-dexmedetomidine for sedation and analgesia in lung tumor percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PRFA): a randomized double-blind clinical trial.
To observe and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Esketamine or Sufentanil combined with Dexmedetomidine for sedation and analgesia in lung tumor percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PRFA) to provide a clinical basis for the optimization of sedation and analgesia in lung tumor PRFA protocols outside the operating room. ⋯ Esketamine or Sufentanil combined with Dexmedetomidine is safe for lung tumor PRFA. However, in elderly patients with multiple underlying diseases, low-dose Esketamine combined with Dexmedetomidine has fewer hemodynamic effects on patients, milder respiratory depression, shorter recovery time, and better radiologist satisfaction because of its better controllability of sedation depth.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Nasal splinting and mouth breathing training reduce emergence delirium after endoscopic sinus surgery: a randomized controlled trial.
Emergence delirium (ED) is generally occurred after anesthesia associated with increased risks of long-term adverse outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of preconditioning with nasal splint and mouth-breathing training on prevention of ED after general anesthesia. ⋯ Preoperative nasal splinting and mouth breathing training significantly reduced the incidence of emergence delirium in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Direct versus indirect epiglottis elevation in cervical spine movement during videolaryngoscopic intubation under manual in-line stabilization: a randomized controlled trial.
During videolaryngoscopic intubation, direct epiglottis elevation provides a higher percentage of glottic opening score than indirect epiglottis elevation. In this randomized controlled trial, we compared cervical spine movement during videolaryngoscopic intubation under manual in-line stabilization between the two glottis exposure methods. ⋯ When performing videolaryngoscopic intubation under manual in-line stabilization, direct epiglottis elevation can be more beneficial than indirect epiglottis elevation in reducing cervical spine movement during videolaryngoscopic intubation at the occiput-C1.

Meta Analysis
The effect of intravenous lidocaine on postoperative cognitive dysfunction: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) has been reported as a significant complication in elderly patients. Various methods have been proposed for reducing the incidence and severity of POCD. Intravenous lidocaine administration has been reported in the literature to reduce POCD, but the effect of lidocaine remains controversial. ⋯ Lidocaine administered intravenously could attenuate the overall incidence of POCD and its severity in the short term.
