Observational Study
Changes of endotracheal tube cuff pressure and its indicators in laparoscopic resection of colorectal neoplasms: an observational prospective clinical trial.
Laparoscopic surgery is a popular alternative for resection of colorectal neoplasms. Carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg positioning in procedure can significantly increase airway pressure, when endotracheal tube cuff pressure is not monitored. This prospective observational study aimed to evaluate indicators, changes and its correlation factors of endotracheal tube cuff pressure during laparoscopic resection of colorectal neoplasms. ⋯ Patients with normal BMI undergoing laparoscopic resection of colorectal neoplasms require continuous monitoring and timely adjustments of tracheal tube cuff pressure. Compared with BMI, waist-to-hip ratio is a better predictor of out-of-range tracheal tube cuff pressure.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Ciprofol versus propofol for anesthesia induction in cardiac surgery: a randomized double-blind controlled clinical trial.
Ciprofol, a novel intravenous general anesthetic with a chemical structure similar to propofol, exhibits significantly enhanced potency. It offers a rapid onset, reduced incidence of injection pain, and has comparable effects on heart rate and blood pressure to propofol. However, clinical data on its use for anesthesia induction in cardiac surgery remain limited. ⋯ Ciprofol demonstrated a significantly lower incidence of injection pain compared to propofol, potentially improving patient comfort during anesthesia induction. Additionally, ciprofol showed comparable circulatory stability to propofol during anesthesia induction in cardiac surgery, suggesting it may be a suitable alternative to propofol for this application.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
The efficacy and safety of ciprofol versus propofol in patients undergoing painless hysteroscopy: a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial.
Studies have reported that ciprofol has the advantage of reducing injection pain compared to propofol during gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The effect of ciprofol on the injection pain in painless hysteroscopy needs to further explore. ⋯ NCT06413862.

Patients undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) are particularly susceptible to infections: 42% experience sepsis and 26% develop a nosocomial infection (NI). Whether antibiotic prophylaxis is effective in reducing mortality and its effects on the rate of NIs is currently unclear. ⋯ PROSPERO: International prospective register of systematic reviews, 2024, CRD42024567037.

Comparative Study
Effects of GlideScope, Pentax Airway Scope, and Macintosh Blade on the incidence of postoperative sore throat: a cohort study of 9,881 patients.
Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common complaint after general anesthesia. POST is defined by the presence of a self-reported foreign body sensation or a painful sensation in the throat after general anesthesia. This condition may affect recovery and patient satisfaction and is associated with many factors, including intubation tools. Previous studies have reported conflicting results on POST. This retrospective cohort study, with sample size of 9,881 patients, was conducted to confirm the hypothesis that the use of video laryngoscopy (VL) is associated with a lower incidence of POST compared with direct laryngoscopy (DL). ⋯ Compared with DL, VL is associated with a lower incidence of POST. In addition, the use of AWS is associated with a lower incidence of POST compared with the use of GVL.
