Randomized Controlled Trial
Value of narcotrend anesthesia depth monitoring in predicting POCD in gastrointestinal tumor anesthesia block patients.
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of Narcotrend (NT) monitoring on cognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing anesthesia blockade for gastrointestinal tumors and its effect on cerebral oxygen metabolism and inflammatory response. ⋯ NT monitoring of anesthetic depth has a less physical impact on patients with gastrointestinal tumor anesthetic block, reduces the degree of postoperative POCD, and has significant clinical value.

Wire-in-needle versus conventional syringe-on-needle technique for ultrasound-guided central venous catheter insertion in the internal jugular vein: the WIN randomized trial.
There are different techniques for ultrasound-guided central venous catheter (CVC) insertion. When using the conventional syringe-on-needle technique, the syringe needs to be removed from the needle after venous puncture to pass the guidewire through the needle into the vein. When, alternatively, using the wire-in-needle technique, the needle is preloaded with the guidewire, and the guidewire-after venous puncture-is advanced into the vein under real-time ultrasound guidance. We tested the hypothesis that the wire-in-needle technique reduces the time to successful guidewire insertion in the internal jugular vein compared with the syringe-on-needle technique in adults. ⋯ The wire-in-needle technique-compared with the syringe-on-needle technique-did not reduce the time to successful guidewire insertion in the internal jugular vein. Clinicians can consider either technique for ultrasound-guided CVC insertion in adults.

Given the lack of global consensus on anesthesia selection for peritoneal dialysis catheter (PDC) placement via open surgery, this study investigates the safety and efficacy of combining local infiltration anesthesia (LIA) with monitored anesthesia care (MAC) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). ⋯ Open surgery for PDC placement under LIA + MAC is both safe and effective.

Effect of needle types and diameters using in spinal anesthesia on optic nerve sheath diameter: Prospective randomized study.
This prospective randomized study aimed to investigate the impact of needle types and diameters used in spinal anesthesia (SA) on optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in patients undergoing lower extremity orthopedic surgery. ⋯ In conclusion, our study suggests that while subarachnoid injection and tourniquet inflation do not impact intracranial pressure (ICP), tourniquet deflation leads to an increase in ICP during lower limb surgery under SA. Therefore, caution should be exercised when using a tourniquet in patients at risk of elevated ICP.
