Comparative Evaluation of Dexmedetomidine-Midazolam and Fentanyl-Midazolam for Sedation and Analgesia in Lower Extremity Orthopedic Surgery under Spinal Anesthesia: A Randomized Double-Blind Clinical Trial

Despite a slightly higher rate of hypotension, DM appears to offer a more favorable sedative profile compared to fentanyl plus midazolam, with more stable cardiopulmonary parameters during orthopedic surgery under spinal anesthesia.

End-of-Surgery Remimazolam Bolus Reduces Emergence Delirium in Children Undergoing Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy: A Randomized, Triple-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

Background/Objectives: Emergence delirium (ED) is common after sevoflurane anesthesia in children undergoing otolaryngologic surgery. Remimazolam is an ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine that may reduce ED without delaying recovery. This study evaluated the effect of a single remimazolam bolus administered at the end of...

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DEXMEDETOMIDINE AS BOLUS OR LOW-DOSE INFUSION FOR PREVENTION OF EMERGENCE AGITATION AFTER SEVOFLURANE IN PAEDIATRIC ANAESTHESIA

A 0.3 μg/kg bolus of dexmedetomidine is hemodynamicallysafe and clinically superior to an equivalent continuous infusion and effectively mitigates sevoflurane-induced emergence agitation without extending recovery or extubation times.

Effect of Low‐Dose Propofol Administered at the End of Sevoflurane Anesthesia on Emergence Agitation in Pediatric Patients Undergoing MRI: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Background Emergence agitation (EA) is a common postanesthetic problem in pediatric patients, particularly with sevoflurane anesthesia, and may lead to injury to patients, prolonged postanesthesia care unit (PACU) stay, and a risk of long‐term maladaptive behavioral changes. Evidence regarding EA in nonpainful procedur...

PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY TO ASSESS TWO DIFFERENT DOSES OF BUPRENORPHINE (30 µG AND 75 µG) GIVEN INTRATHECALLY ALONG WITH HYPERBARIC BUPIVACAINE AS ANALGESIC IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING LOWER LIMB ORTHOPEDIC SURGERIES

Intrathecal buprenorphine at a dose of 75 μg provided superior sensory and motor block characteristics, prolonged postoperative analgesia, lower postoperative pain scores, and reduced rescue analgesic requirements compared with 30 μg buprenorphine, and both doses demonstrated comparable hemodynamic stability and safety...

The effect of BIS-guided sevoflurane anesthesia on postoperative nausea and vomiting in pediatric adenoidectomy: a prospective randomized controlled trial

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a frequent complication in pediatric patients undergoing adenoidectomy. Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring, an electroencephalography-based method for assessing anesthetic depth, enables individualized sevoflurane titration and may reduce unnecessary expos...
