Objectives: The goal of this study was to summarize anesthesia management for pediatrics with congenital heart diseases who undergo cardiac catheterization procedure in China.

Methods: The relevant articles were identified through computerized searches in the CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and PubMed databases through May 2020, using different combinations of keywords: "congenital heart diseases," "pediatric," "children," "anesthesia," "cardiac catheterization," "interventional therapy," "interventional treatment," "interventional examination," and "computed tomography."

Results: The database searches identified 48 potentially qualified articles, of which 25 (9,738 patients in total) were determined to be eligible and included. Read More

Background: Double lumen tube (DLT) and Univent are two commonly used lung isolation devices that often require bronchoscopy assistance. In order to facilitate blind placement for situations where bronchoscopy was unavailable, the cricoid displacing maneuver (CDM) was adopted. This study was designed to explore whether the CDM could improve the successful blind placement rate in left lung isolation esophageal surgeries. Read More

Objective: To evaluate the incidence of postoperative complications arising within 30 days of minimally invasive esophagectomy in the prone position with total lung ventilation and their relationship with 30-day and 1-year mortality. Secondary outcomes included possible anesthesia-related factors linked to the development of complications.

Methods: The study is a retrospective single-center observational study at the Anesthesia and Surgical Department of a tertiary care center in the northeast of Italy. Read More

Elderly patients constitute a large segment of healthcare receivers. Considering the functional deterioration of multiple organ systems with aging, achieving a safe perioperative approach is challenging. Our aim is to study the safety and effectiveness of a genuinely regimented co-induction technique in order to minimize anesthesia-related complications. Read More

Purpose Of Review: Quantification and optimization of perioperative risk factors focusing on anesthesia-related strategies to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after lung and esophageal surgery.

Recent Findings: There is an increasing amount of multimorbid patients undergoing thoracic surgery due to the demographic development and medical progress in perioperative medicine. Nevertheless, the rate of PPCs after thoracic surgery is still up to 30-50% with a significant influence on patients' outcome. Read More
