INTRODUCTION: Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) impair many aspects of everyday life and may prevent access to dental care, often limiting it to emergencies. Impaired oral health has long-lasting negative consequences on health status and on the acquisition of oral habits (e.g., oral respiration and grinding) or competencies (e.g., proper speech production). Children with ASD may be scared in the dental setting, which is rich in sensory stimuli and requires physical contact. Due to their behavioral manifestations, they represent a challenge for dentists and hygienists...

INTRODUCTION: We aimed to evaluate the difference in intraoperative oxygen reserve index (ORi) between the sedatives remimazolam (RMMZ) and dexmedetomidine (DEX). METHODS: Seventy-eight adult patients scheduled for sedation under regional anesthesia were randomly assigned to either the DEX ( n = 39) or RMMZ ( n = 39) group. The primary outcome was the difference in perioperative ORi between the groups. The secondary outcomes included respiratory depression, hypo- or hypertension, heart rate (HR), blood pressure, respiratory rate and postoperative outcomes...

BACKGROUND: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a postoperative complication that often occurs in the elderly. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare intravenous anesthetics (propofol) with inhalation anesthetics (sevoflurane) regarding the occurrence of POCD in the elderly who underwent non-cardiac surgery.

INTRODUCTION: Graduate trainees from diverse backgrounds may experience discrimination, mistreatment, and microaggressions. While the ability to identify and respond to microaggressions is a much-needed skill for all emerging trainees, limited training workshops exist for residents, especially within perioperative medicine. To embody the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism (DEIA), we aimed to empower trainees in the perioperative environment with several strategies for addressing microaggressions to bridge this training gap...

Introduction Gender affirmation surgery includes procedures of the face, larynx, chest, reproductive system, external genitalia, and adipose tissue performed to ameliorate incongruence between gender identity and phenotype. The annual number of gender affirmation surgeries performed in the United States has increased significantly. There have been no investigations into the frequency of peripheral neuropathy after gender affirmation surgery, which is an important topic, given transgender individuals are at increased risk for delaying necessary medical care...

Opioids are mainly used as adjuncts to the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia, postoperative analgesia, and treating moderate to severe cancer pain and chronic pain. However, the hazards of these drugs to various organ organs still need to be further explored. This study used the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database to determine whether commonly receiving opioids was higher than the baseline risk for all other medications. FAERS was asked about adverse events (AEs) for the opioids "morphine," "fentanyl," "oxycodone," "hydromorphone," "sufentanil," and "remifentanil" from the first quarter of 2004 (2004Q1) through the second quarter of 2023 (2023Q2)...

Cardiovascular instability is common during the reperfusion phase of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), and some patients experience a postreperfusion syndrome (PRS). However, there are no reports comparing the cardiac dysfunction between patients with PRS and those without. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate cardiac dysfunction in patients exhibiting PRS. This observational retrospective study included 34 patients who underwent OLT and were monitored with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)...

BACKGROUND: Bispectral index (BIS) is a processed electroencephalography monitoring tool and is widely used in anesthetic depth monitoring. Deep anesthesia exposure may be associated with multiple adverse outcomes. However, the relationship between anesthetic depth and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) remains unclear. We sought to determine the effect of BIS-based deep anesthesia duration on postoperative AKI following noncardiac surgery. METHODS: This retrospective study used data from the Vital Signs DataBase, including patients undergoing noncardiac surgeries with BIS monitoring...

RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

BACKGROUND Emergence cough during endotracheal extubation can lead to complications. This cough is triggered by the deviation of the endotracheal tube from the airway anatomy, causing pressure on the airway mucosal wall. Head elevation has the potential to align the airway passage with the tube's configuration. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of head elevation using a pillow on the prevalence and severity of emergence cough in male patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 71 male patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly assigned to either the head elevation group (n=35) or the control group (n=36)...
