Local anesthesia as a distinct comparator versus conscious sedation and general anesthesia in endovascular stroke treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Waleed Butt et al.

Summary: This study found that LA without sedation did not show significant superiority over CS or GA in improving outcomes for EVT in AIS, but there were tendencies in some aspects. Future well-designed multicenter, randomized controlled trials are needed to further validate these findings.

General Anesthesia versus Sedation, Both with Hemodynamic Control, during Intraarterial Treatment for Stroke: The GASS Randomized Trial

Axelle Maurice et al.

Summary: This single-blind, randomized trial investigated the impact of different anesthetic strategies during endovascular therapy for stroke on the functional outcome of patients. The results showed that the functional outcomes 3 months after treatment were similar with general anesthesia and conscious sedation, suggesting that clinicians can choose either approach based on individual circumstances.

General anesthesia during endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke: benefits beyond better reperfusion?

Claus Z. Simonsen et al.

Summary: This study investigated the outcomes of endovascular therapy under general anesthesia (GA) or conscious sedation (CS) for stroke caused by large vessel occlusion. The results showed that the better outcome in the GA arm was mainly a direct effect rather than mediated by better reperfusion. Future research is needed to explore whether the stable condition and blood pressure under GA have a neuroprotective effect.

Effect of Intraoperative Phrenic Nerve Infiltration on Postoperative Ipsilateral Shoulder Pain After Thoracic Surgeries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Studies

Yi-An Hung et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis demonstrates that phrenic nerve infiltration (PNI) can reduce the incidence of ipsilateral shoulder pain (ISP) after thoracic surgery and improve its severity, with a prophylactic effect lasting up to 48 hours.

Summary: This meta-analysis shows that preoperative oral gabapentinoids can reduce analgesic consumption and the risk of nausea/vomiting in patients undergoing bariatric surgery, and can also provide pain relief in the early postoperative period.

Comparison of video-stylet and conventional laryngoscope for endotracheal intubation in adults with cervical spine immobilization: A PRISMA-compliant meta-analysis

I-Wen Chen et al.

Summary: By comparing the outcomes of video-stylets and conventional laryngoscopes in tracheal intubation of patients with cervical immobilization, the study found no significant differences in intubation success rate, time, and risk of tissue damage between the two, but video-stylets had a lower risk of causing sore throat.

Intravenous Propofol Versus Volatile Anesthetics For Stroke Endovascular Thrombectomy

William K. Diprose et al.

Summary: In ischemic stroke patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy with general anesthesia, there may be a differential effect between intravenous propofol and volatile inhalational agents. Patients treated with propofol anesthesia showed improved functional independence at 3 months, suggesting the need for further research to explore these findings.

Summary: The study found that the use of PFT tubes for airway manipulation was associated with a shorter intubation time compared with standard polyvinylchloride tubes, but further trials and meta-analysis are needed to compare other intubation outcomes.

Xuesong Bai et al.

Summary: This study found that general anesthesia (GA) was superior to conscious sedation (CS) in terms of successful recanalization and functional independence at 3 months in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), but at the cost of higher risk of mean arterial pressure drop and pneumonia.

Hypotension during endovascular treatment under general anesthesia for acute ischemic stroke

Sabine L. Collette et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively collected data from 366 patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing EVT treatment and found that approximately half of the patients experienced procedural hypotension. The occurrence of hypotension was associated with poor functional outcome, while the extent and duration of hypotension did not show a significant association with functional outcome.
