The aim of this study was to evaluate how anaesthesiologists manage a "cannot intubate, can ventilate" (CI) and "cannot intubate, cannot ventilate" (CICV) scenarios, and how following simulation training will affect their guideline adherence, skills and decision-making immediately after training and 6 months later. ⋯ NCT05913492, clinicaltrials.gov, 22/06/2023.

Primary malignant cardiac tumors are rare in clinic, and surgical resection under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains the main treatment. The non-physiological perfusion process of CPB leads to contact activation, and the resulting coagulopathy and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) are common complications. However, it is difficult to predict the impact of foreign tumor fragments on this pathophysiological process once they enter the bloodstream, making this phenomenon more complex and challenging. ⋯ Patients with intracardiac malignant tumors are at a high risk for serious contact activation during CPB. Preventive application of comprehensive anti-inflammatory measures such as drugs and adsorptive CPB technology, as well as point-of-care (POC) monitoring of coagulation status will be helpful for individualized guidance and optimization of CPB management, and improvement of patient prognosis.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The 50% effective dose of hydromorphone and morphine for epidural analgesia in the hemorrhoidectomy: a double-blind, sequential dose-finding study.
Although previous studies have showed that epidural morphine can be used as a complement to local anesthetics for analgesia after postcesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia, there is little known about the analgesic dosage of epidural morphine and hydromorphone for hemorrhoidectomy. Therefore, we conducted this study to examine the potency ratio of hydromorphone to epidural morphine as well as effective analgesic dose for 50% patients (ED50) undergoing elective hemorrhoidectomy. ⋯ Effective hemorrhoidectomy analgesia requires a 3:1 ratio of epidural morphine to epidural hydromorphone. Both drugs provide excellent patient satisfaction.

To investigate the improvement of perioperative sleep quality and neurocognitive impairment in elderly patients under general anesthesia by nasal administration of dexmedetomidine. ⋯ Dexmedetomidine can effectively improve the sleep disorder of elderly general anesthesia patients, reduce the damage to their neurocognitive function and the occurrence of POD, effectively reduce the anxiety of patients and the occurrence of adverse reactions and complications, and has better sedative, improve postoperative cognitive function and anti-anxiety effects, with a high drug safety, worthy of clinical application and promotion.

This meta-analysis was designed to compare the safety and efficiency of remimazolam with those of propofol in patients undergoing gastroscope sedation. ⋯ Remimazolam can be used safely in gastroscopic sedation and reduces the incidence of respiratory depression, hypoxemia, bradycardia, injection site pain, and dizziness compared with propofol, and doesn't increase the incidence of nausea and vomiting.
