Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at increased risks of rapid oxygen desaturation during anesthesia, highlighting the need for effective strategies to extend safe apnea time. This study aims to e...
Sedatives are often used to facilitate mechanical ventilation in patients with sepsis. Ciprofol is a new promising sedated candidate with a higher binding activity to the gamma-aminobutyric acid-A receptor tha...
General anesthesia (GA) combined with regional anesthesia (RA) is commonly used to enhance perioperative analgesia and hemodynamic stability. This study aimed to compare the hemodynamic effects and postoperati...
Negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is a non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema primarily resulting from upper airway obstruction, particularly following laryngospasm during the post-anesthesia recovery period.
Cardiac output (CO) monitoring is essential for diagnosing and managing critically ill patients. Recently, a non-invasive haemodynamic monitoring technique, electrical cardiometry (EC), has gathered increasing...
Pericardiectomy is the curative treatment for constrictive pericarditis, yet postoperative low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) may occur. The application of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-...
