Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficacy and safety of ciprofol for general anesthesia induction in female patients with frailty: a prospective randomized controlled trial.
Ciprofol, a recently developed anesthetic agent, is not inferior to propofol in terms of efficacy and safety. However, most previous clinical experience with ciprofol was based on a robust population. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of ciprofol for anesthesia induction in female patients with frailty. ⋯ The results of this study suggest that the efficacy of ciprofol for inducing general anesthesia in patients with frailty is comparable to that of propofol, with more stable hemodynamics.

This article reviews point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in the perioperative period. Ultrasound-guided techniques for regional anaesthesia and vascular access have been well-established in anaesthesia for many years. ⋯ There is a growing body of evidence highlighting the benefits of POCUS throughout the perioperative period. Widespread use may help to improve patient care in anaesthesia.
