Multicenter Study Observational Study
Operator gender differences in major mechanical complications after central line insertions: a subgroup analysis of a prospective multicentre cohort study.
A previous study on mechanical complications after central venous catheterisation demonstrated differences in complication rates between male and female operators. The objective of this subgroup analysis was to further investigate these differences. The hypothesis was that differences in distribution of predefined variables between operator genders could be identified. ⋯ The hypothesis was confirmed as differences in distribution of predefined variables between operator genders were found. Despite being less experienced, female operators had a lower rate of major mechanical complications. Furthermore, male operator gender was independently associated with a higher risk of major mechanical complications. Future studies are needed to further investigate differences in risk behaviour between male and female operators.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of esketamine combined with propofol-induced general anesthesia on cerebral blood flow velocity: a randomized clinical trial.
Esketamine is increasingly used in clinical anesthesia. The effect of esketamine on the blood flow velocity of the middle cerebral artery has a clinical guiding effect. To investigate the effect of esketamine combined with propofol-induced general anesthesia for endotracheal intubation on the blood flow velocity of middle cerebral artery and hemodynamics during the induction period. ⋯ The induction of esketamine combined with propofol does not increase the blood flow velocity of middle cerebral artery. Esketamine is advantageous in maintaining hemodynamic stability during induction. Furthermore, the administration of esketamine did not result in an increased incidence of adverse effects.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effectiveness of perioperative low-dose esketamine infusion for postoperative pain management in pediatric urological surgery: a prospective clinical trial.
Postoperative pain is common in pediatric urological surgery. The study assess the impact of perioperative intravenous infusion of low-dose esketamine on postoperative pain in pediatric urological surgery. ⋯ The use of low-dose esketamine infusion in analgesia pump can effectively alleviates postoperative pain in pediatric urological patients, leading to a significant reduction in the number of analgesic pump button press. The combined approach of perioperative anesthesia induction and analgesia pump administration is recommended for optimal pain management in these patients.

Oral midodrine for prophylaxis against post-spinal anesthesia hypotension during hip arthroplasty in elderly population: a randomized controlled trial.
We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of midodrine as a prophylaxis against post-spinal hypotension in elderly patients undergoing hip arthroplasty. ⋯ gov/ct2/show/NCT05548985 .

Case Reports
Metabolic acidemia due to saline absorption during transurethral and transcervical surgery: a report of 2 cases.
The development of endoscopic systems that include bipolar electrocautery has enabled the use of normal saline irrigation in transurethral or transcervical endoscopic surgery. However, excessive saline absorption can cause hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis. ⋯ Anesthesiologists should be aware of acidemia, cardiopulmonary complications, and airway obstruction caused by excessive saline absorption after saline irrigation in endoscopic surgery.
