Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of goal-directed analgesia using the analgesia nociception index in children undergoing surgery for moyamoya disease: A randomised controlled trial.
The potential benefits of Analgesia Nociception Index guided intra-operative analgesia on intra-operative opioid consumption remains to be demonstrated in paediatric anaesthesia. ⋯ The Analgesia Nociception Index guided analgesic protocol can reduce intra-operative sufentanil consumption and postoperative pain within 24 h with fewer nausea symptoms in paediatric patients with moyamoya disease who undergo encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Single-Dose Intraoperative Methadone for Pain Management in Pediatric Tonsillectomy: A Randomized Double Blind Clinical Trial.
More than 500,000 elective tonsillectomies are performed in U.S. children annually. Pain after pediatric tonsillectomy is common, often severe, and undertreated. There is no consensus on the optimal management of perioperative tonsillectomy pain. Methadone, with an elimination half-life of 1 to 2 days, has a longer duration of effect than short-duration opioids such as fentanyl. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the intraoperative use of methadone for pediatric tonsillectomy. It tested the hypothesis that methadone would result in less postoperative opioid use compared with short-duration opioids in children after tonsillectomy. ⋯ This small initial study in children undergoing tonsillectomy found that single-dose intraoperative methadone at 0.15 mg/kg age ideal body weight was opioid-sparing compared with intermittent fentanyl.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEffect of Volatile Anesthesia Versus Intravenous Anesthesia on Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Patients Undergoing Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
The effect of intraoperative anesthetic regimen on pulmonary outcome after minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer is yet undetermined. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of volatile anesthesia (sevoflurane or desflurane) compared with propofol-based intravenous anesthesia on pulmonary complications after minimally invasive esophagectomy. ⋯ In patients undergoing minimally invasive esophagectomy, the use of volatile anesthesia (sevoflurane or desflurane) resulted in the reduced risk and severity of pulmonary complications within the first 7 postoperative days as compared to propofol-based intravenous anesthesia.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of nitric oxide delivery via cardiopulmonary bypass circuit on postoperative oxygenation in adults undergoing cardiac surgery (NOCARD trial): a randomised controlled trial.
Cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass induces a significant systemic inflammatory response, contributing to various postoperative complications, including pulmonary dysfunction, myocardial and kidney injuries. ⋯ Patients with baseline hypoxaemia undergoing cardiac surgery and receiving nitric oxide exhibited lower hypoxaemia rates and higher p a O2 /FiO 2 ratios. No significant differences were found regarding postoperative pulmonary complications and overall outcomes.
