Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic technique of surgery allows surgeons to perform complex procedures in difficult-to-access areas of the abdominal/pelvic cavity (eg, radical prostatectomy and radical hysterectomy) with improved access and precision approach. At the same time, automated techniques efficiently deliver propofol total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with lower anesthetic consumption. As both above are likely to bring benefit to the patients, it is imperative to explore their effect on postanesthesia recovery. Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) is a comprehensive patient-reported measure of the quality of postanesthesia recovery and assesses compendious patients' experiences (physical and mental well-being). This randomized study assessed the effect of automated propofol TIVA versus inhaled desflurane anesthesia on postoperative quality of recovery using the QoR-15 questionnaire in patients undergoing elective robotic surgery. METHODS One hundred twenty patients undergoing robotic abdominal surgery under general anesthesia (GA) were randomly allocated to receive propofol TIVA administered by closed-loop anesthesia delivery system (CLADS) (CLADS group) or desflurane GA (desflurane group). Postoperative QoR-15 score on postoperative day 1 (POD-1) and postoperative day 2 (POD-2) (primary outcome variables), individual QoR-15 item scores (15 nos.), intraoperative hemodynamics (heart rate, mean blood pressure), anesthesia depth consistency, anesthesia delivery system performance, early recovery from anesthesia (time-to-eye-opening, and time to tracheal extubation), and postoperative adverse events (sedation, postoperative nausea and vomiting [PONV], pain, intraoperative awareness recall) (secondary outcome variables) were analyzed. RESULTS On POD-1, the CLADS group scored significantly higher than the desflurane group in terms of "overall" QoR-15 score (QoR-15 score: 114.5 ± 13 vs 102.1 ± 20.4; P = .001) and 3 individual QoR-15 "items" scores ("feeling rested" 7.5 ± 1.9 vs 6.4 ± 2.2, P = .007; "good sleep" 7.8 ± 1.9 vs 6.6 ± 2.7, P = .027; and "feeling comfortable and in control" 8.1 ± 1.7 vs 6.9 ± 2.4, P = .006). On the POD-2, the CLADS group significantly outscored the desflurane group with respect to the "overall" QoR-15 score (126.0 ± 13.6 vs 116.3 ± 20.3; P = .011) and on "5" individual QoR-15 items ("feeling rested" 8.1 ± 1.4 vs 7.0 ± 2.0, P = .003; "able to return to work or usual home activities" 6.0 ± 2.2 vs 4.6 ± 2.6, P = .008; "feeling comfortable and in control" 8.6 ± 1.2 vs 7.7 ± 1.9, P = .004; "feeling of general well-being" 7.8 ± 1.6 vs 6.9 ± 2.0, P = .042; and "severe pain" 9.0 ± 1.9 vs 8.1 ± 2.5, P = .042). CONCLUSIONS Automated propofol TIVA administered by CLADS is superior to desflurane inhalation GA with respect to early postoperative recovery as comprehensively assessed on the QoR-15 scoring system. The effect of combined automated precision anesthesia and surgery (robotics) techniques on postoperative recovery may be explored further.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) tool, validated for measuring postoperative recovery following scheduled surgeries, has not been psychometrically assessed in emergency contexts. Moreover, the QoR-15's associations with long-term outcomes remain underexplored. This study aimed to confirm the validity and reliability of the QoR-15 following emergency surgery and assess its association with three-month postoperative quality of life. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study (August 2021-April 2022) on adult patients who underwent emergency surgery. The QoR-15 questionnaire was administered before surgery (H0) and at 24 hr (H24) and 48 hr (H48) after surgery. We examined the H24 score's associations with both the three-month quality of life, as assessed by the EQ-5D scale, and the number of days spent at home at 30 (DAH30) and 90 (DAH90) days. RESULTS Of the 375 included patients, 352 (94%) completed the QoR-15 at H24 and 338 (90%) were followed up at three months. The population represented the following diverse surgical specialties: orthopedic (51%), gastrointestinal (27%), urologic (13%), and others (9%). The QoR-15 questionnaire confirmed all psychometric qualities (internal consistency, reproducibility, responsiveness, acceptability, construct, and convergent validities) in the emergency context. The average minimum clinical difference was 8.0 at H24. There was an association between QoR-15 at H24 and the three-month quality of life (r = 0.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.14 to 0.34; P < 0.001), DAH30 (r = 0.33; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.41; P < 0.001), and DAH90 (r = 0.31; 95% CI, 0.22 to 0.40; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The QoR-15 score is valid for measuring early postoperative recovery after emergency surgery. The H24 score significantly correlated with both the three-month quality of life and the number of days at home. STUDY REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04845763); first submitted 11 April 2021.

Abstract
BACKGROUND General anesthesia is often necessary for dental treatment of outpatients with mental disabilities. Rapid recovery and effective management of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are critical for outpatients. This study aimed to investigate the effect of transitioning from propofol to remimazolam with flumazenil reversal administered toward the end of surgery during propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) on recovery. METHODS Adults with mental disabilities scheduled to undergo dental treatment were randomly assigned to receive either propofol-based TIVA (Group P) or propofol-remimazolam-based TIVA with flumazenil reversal (Group PR). Propofol was replaced with remimazolam 1 h before the end of surgery in Group PR; moreover, 0.5 mg of flumazenil was administered after the neuromuscular blockade reversal agent. The primary outcome was the duration of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). The secondary outcomes included time to eye-opening, time to extubation, occurrence of PONV, and quality of recovery. RESULTS Fifty-four patients were included in this study. The duration of stay in the PACU in Group PR was significantly shorter than that in Group P (mean difference, 8.7 min; confidence interval [95% CI], 3.3-14.2; P = 0.002). Group PR exhibited a shorter time to eye opening (mean difference, 5.4 min; 95% CI, 3.3-8.1; P < 0.001) and time to extubation (mean difference, 5.5 min; 95% CI, 3.6-7.9; P < 0.001) than Group P. Neither group required the administration of rescue analgesics, and the incidence of PONV was not reported. CONCLUSIONS Transitioning from propofol to remimazolam 1 h before the end of surgery followed by flumazenil reversal reduced the duration of stay in the PACU and the time to eye opening and extubation without affecting the incidence of PONV and quality of recovery.

Abstract
Quality of recovery (QoR) is a significant component of peri-operative health status and is influenced by patients' characteristics and surgical and anesthetic methods. The QoR-15 scale is a patient-reported outcome questionnaire that measures postoperative QoR. The validity of the QoR-15 scale has been proven in many languages. In this study, we aimed to translate the QoR-15 questionnaire into Turkish and evaluate its validity in the Turkish population. After being translated into Turkish, the questionnaire was administered to 190 patients who underwent obstetric, gynecological, orthopedic, or thoracic surgery under general or regional anesthesia. The Turkish version of QoR-15 (QoR-15T) was administered 2 times: before surgery and 24 hour after surgery. The feasibility, reliability, validity and responsiveness of the QoR-15T were evaluated. Because 13 patients were discharged within 24 hour postoperatively, the study was completed with 177 patients. The recruitment and completion rates of questionnaire were 95% and 93.1% respectively. The completing time of the questionnaire was 2.5 minutes preoperatively and 3.5 minutes postoperatively. The scale yielded a Cronbach α value of 0.75, a Cohen effect size of 1.42, and a standardized response mean of 1.39. There was a significant positive correlation (95% confidence interval; R = 0.68, P < .001) between QoR-15T and visual analog scale postoperatively. The correlation of the items with the total QoR-15T score ranged from 0.19 to 0.60. The total scores of preoperative and postoperative QoR-15T were mean: 130.67, standard deviation: 15.78 and mean: 108.23, standard deviation: 13.06, respectively, with a significant difference between them (P < .01). The QoR-15T is feasible, reliable, valid, and responsive among patients undergoing surgery under general and regional anesthesia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Due to the lack of specific antagonists for general anaesthetics, the pharmacological stimulation of the arousal pathways might contribute to reduce recovery time. We aimed at assessing the effect of methylphenidate on physiological parameters, nociceptive withdrawal reflex thresholds, electroencephalographic variables and time of reappearance of reflexes in pigs undergoing propofol anaesthesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two experiments have been performed. Five (experiment 1) and sixteen (experiment 2) healthy juvenile pigs were anaesthetised with propofol. In experiment 1, saline, methylphenidate 10 mg/kg or methylphenidate 20 mg/kg was administered intravenously at the end of propofol administration, using a cross-over design. In experiment 2, saline (n = 8) or methylphenidate 20 mg/kg (n = 8) was administered immediately after extubation. In both experiments, physiological parameters, nociceptive withdrawal reflex thresholds, electroencephalographic variables and time of reappearance of reflexes were assessed. Comparison among groups was performed using either the two-way repeated measures ANOVA followed by Bonferroni-Test or the t-test in case of parametric data, and either the Kruskal-Wallis test or the Mann-Whitney Rank Sum test in case of non-parametric data. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS No clinically relevant changes were observed in both experiments for physiological parameters, nociceptive withdrawal reflex thresholds and electroencephalographic variables. CONCLUSIONS Methylphenidate does not shorten or modify anaesthesia recovery in pigs, when the sole propofol is administered.

Abstract
PURPOSE To implement a standardized Stir-up Regimen (deep breathing, coughing, repositioning, mobilization [moving arms/legs], assessing and managing pain and nausea) within the first 30 minutes of arrival in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), with a goal of decreasing recovery time in the immediate postanesthesia period (Phase I). DESIGN A pragmatic stepped wedge cluster randomized control trial. Initially, data were collected on time in Phase I in three PACUs (control). Subsequently, the same three units were randomized to sequentially transition to the Stir-up Regimen (intervention). METHODS A stepped wedge cluster randomized control trial design was used to implement a standardized Stir-up Regimen in three PACUs in an academic hospital for adult patients who received at least 30 minutes of general anesthesia. The measured outcome was the PACU time in minutes from patient arrival to when the patient met Phase I discharge criteria. Differences between intervention and control groups were evaluated using a generalized mixed-effects model. Nurses were educated about the Stir-up Regimen in team huddles, in-services, video demonstrations, email notifications and reminders, and immediate feedback at the bedside. Implementation science principles were used to assess the adoption of the Stir-up Regimen through a presurvey, postsurvey and spot-check observations in all three PACUs. FINDINGS A total of 5,809 PACU adult patient admissions were included: control group (n = 2,860); intervention group (n = 2,949); males (n = 2,602), and females (n = 3,206). The intervention was associated with a reduction in overall mean Phase I recovery time of 4.9 minutes (95% CI: -8.4 to -1.4, P = .007). One PACU decreased time by 9.6 minutes (95% CI: -15.3 to -4.0, P < .001). The other units also reduced Phase I recovery time, but this did not reach statistical significance. The spot-check observations confirmed the intervention was adopted by the nurses, as most interventions were nurse-initiated versus patient-initiated during the first 30 minutes in PACU. CONCLUSIONS Standardization of a Stir-up Regimen within 30 minutes of patient PACU arrival resulted in decreased Phase I recovery time.

Abstract
Background Emergence agitation (EA) is one of the most common complications in clinical general anesthesia during recovery in adults. Remifentanil and propofol can reduce the incidence of EA, but with no randomized controlled trial to evaluate their effectiveness for treating EA. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of remifentanil and propofol for treating EA following general anesthesia. Patients and methods Among 152 randomized patients with a mean of 49.5 years, and 99 (65.1%) of them being male, 149 were divided into two groups for subsequent analysis. The remifentanil group (Group R, n = 74) received a 0.5μg kg-1 remifentanil infusion followed by a 0.05μg kg-1 min-1 infusion until 15 minutes, after the onset of agitation. The propofol group (Group P, n = 75) received a 1mg kg-1 propofol infusion once agitation occurred. Emergence agitation was assessed using the Riker Sedation Agitation Score, with a score of ≥5 defining emergence agitation. During the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), the recurrence of emergence agitation, time to extubation, and discharge from PACU were evaluated. Results The incidence of reoccurring emergence agitation was lower in Group R (29.7%) compared with Group P (49.3%), with an odds ratio of 0.44 (95% CI 0.22-0.85; P=0.014). The time to extubation was shorter in Group R (mean 12min, range 8-15 min) compared with Group P (mean 17min, range 13-21 min) (P<0.001), as was the time discharge from the PACU (mean 30.5 min, range 25-40 min) vs Group P (mean 37.5 min, range 31-50 min) (P=0.001). Conclusion Treatment of emergence agitation in adults with remifentanil infusion is more effective than propofol, with a shorter time to extubation and discharge from PACU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children who experience Emergence Delirium following an anaesthetic are at an increased risk of injury, harm to the surgical site, delayed discharge from the recovery room/ post anaesthetic care unit, an increased length of stay in hospital, the requirement of additional nursing staff to care for them and may display additional emotional and behavioural upsets in the weeks following surgery. Many factors have been postulated to be associated with the development of Emergence Delirium in children. However, to date the strength and nature of these associations has not been thoroughly investigated nor discussed considering the specific implications for contemporary nursing practice. AIM The aim of this scoping review is to provide an overview of Emergence Delirium in children, and a critical synthesis of evidence informing development of nursing interventions to prevent or minimise paediatric Emergence Delirium. METHODS This scoping review was conducted guided by the PRISMA checklist. 14 peer-reviewed studies and guidelines published between 2000 and 2020 on Emergence Delirium in children and nursing practice were included in the deductive thematic analysis stage. RESULTS The results found the anxiety of the child, the post-operative phase, continuity of care and medication administration were key themes in the nursing management of Emergence Delirium. CONCLUSION There is opportunity for further research to be conducted on child Emergence Delirium in different hospital systems with further exploration of nurse-led interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Emergence delirium (ED) is a postoperative complication in pediatric anesthesia characterized by a perception and psychomotor disorder, with a negative impact on postoperative recovery. As the use of inhalation anesthesia is associated with a higher incidence of ED, we investigated whether titrating the depth of general anesthesia with BIS monitor can reduce the incidence of ED. DESIGN Randomized, prospective, and double-blind. SETTING Patients undergoing endoscopic adenoidectomy under general anesthesia according to a uniform protocol. PATIENTS A total of 163 patients of both sexes aged 3-8 years were enrolled over 18 months. INTERVENTIONS Immediately after the induction of general anesthesia, a bispectral index (BIS) electrode was placed on the patient's forehead. In the study group, the depth of general anesthesia was monitored with the aim of achieving BIS values of 40-60. In the control group, the dose of sevoflurane was determined by the anaesthesiologist based on MAC (minimum alveolar concentration) and the end-tidal concentration. MEASUREMENTS The primary objective was to compare the occurrence of ED during the PACU (post-anesthesia care unit) stay in both arms of the study. The secondary objective was to determine the PAED score at 10 and 30 min in the PACU and the need for rescue treatment of ED. MAIN RESULTS 86 children were randomized in the intervention group and 77 children in the control group. During the entire PACU stay, 23.3% (38/163) of patients developed ED with PAED score >10: 35.1% (27/77) in the control group and 12.8% (11/86) in the intervention group (p = 0.001). Lower PAED scores were also found in the intervention group at 10 (p < 0.001) and 30 (p < 0.001) minutes compared to the control group. The need for rescue treatment did not differ between groups (p = 0.067). CONCLUSION Individualization of the depth of general anesthesia with BIS monitoring is an effective method of preventing ED in children. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT04466579.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Our institution has adopted an informal practice of administering postoperative caffeine to expedite anesthesia recovery for patients with excessive sedation. This study aimed to determine whether caffeine administration was associated with improved sedation recovery and reduced risk of respiratory complications. DESIGN Single-center, retrospective, observational study. SETTING Quaternary medical center. PATIENTS We included adult patients who were admitted to a postanesthesia recovery care unit (PACU) after general anesthesia and had evidence of postoperative sedation (Richmond Agitation Sedation Score [RASS] < 0). Patients were seen from May 5, 2018, through December 31, 2020. INTERVENTIONS Patients were categorized according to caffeine administration (0 vs 250 mg). MEASUREMENTS Sedation was measured with RASS. To account for potential confounding, binary and ordinal logistic regression with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) were used to compare RASS and episodes of severe respiratory complications within 48 h after PACU discharge. MAIN RESULTS We identified 47,222 adult surgical patients with evidence of sedation in the PACU, and of these, 1892 (4.0%) were intravenously administered caffeine. Patients who received caffeine had more sedation in the PACU. In the IPTW-adjusted analysis, caffeine administration was associated with improved sedation scores after PACU discharge (ordinal logistic regression odds ratio [OR], 1.13 [95% CI, 1.00-1.28]; P = .04 for the first RASS score after PACU discharge) but increased risk of respiratory complications (OR, 2.99 [95% CI, 1.44-6.24]; P = .003) and emergency response team activation (OR, 7.18 [95% CI, 2.85-18.10]; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS In this observational study, caffeine administration during anesthesia recovery was associated with improved sedation scores. However, it was also associated with an increased risk of respiratory complications, possibly reflecting selection bias (ie, administering caffeine to higher-risk patients). Patients with signs of excessive sedation during anesthesia recovery may benefit from enhanced postoperative respiratory monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emergence agitation and delirium in children remain a common clinical challenge in the post-anesthetic care unit. Preoperative oral melatonin has been suggested as an effective preventive drug with a favorable safety profile. The oral bioavailability of melatonin, however, is low. Therefore, the MELA-PAED trial aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of intraoperative intravenous melatonin for the prevention of emergence agitation in pediatric surgical patients. METHODS MELA-PAED is a randomized, double-blind, parallel two-arm, multi-center, superiority trial comparing intravenous melatonin with placebo. Four hundred participants aged 1-6 years will be randomized 1:1 to either the intervention or placebo. The intervention consists of intravenous melatonin 0.15 mg/kg administered approximately 30 min before the end of surgery. Participants will be monitored in the post-anesthetic care unit (PACU), and the Post Hospitalization Behavior Questionnaire for Ambulatory Surgery (PHBQ-AS) will be performed on days 1, 7, and 14 after the intervention. Serious Adverse Events (SAE) will be assessed up to 30 days after the intervention. RESULTS The primary outcome is the incidence of emergence agitation, assessed dichotomously as any Watcha score >2 during the participant's stay in the post-anesthetic care unit. Secondary outcomes are opioid consumption in the post-anesthetic care unit and adverse events. Exploratory outcomes include SAEs, postoperative pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and time to awakening, to first oral intake, and to discharge readiness. CONCLUSION The MELA-PAED trial investigates the efficacy of intravenous intraoperative melatonin for the prevention of emergence agitation in pediatric surgical patients. Results may provide further knowledge concerning the use of melatonin in pediatric perioperative care.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Emergence delirium is a common postoperative neurological complication in children after general anesthesia. There is no valid tool to predict emergence delirium. Wavelet index, pain threshold index, anxiety index, and comfort index are real-time brain status parameters extracted from the electroencephalogram, which have recently been developed. The aim is to evaluate the association between real-time brain status parameters during emergence and emergence delirium in children undergoing general anesthesia. METHODS One hundred and thirty patients between 3 and 6 years of age undergoing dental surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled in the study. Real-time electroencephalogram data were recorded at four different time points from end of anesthetics administration (T1), end of surgery (T2), extubation (T3), and response (eye opening, movement) to verbal stimulation (T4). Each patient was assessed for emergence delirium using the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium scale. Receiver operating characteristics curves and the associated areas under the curves were computed to analyze the ability of wavelet index, pain threshold index, anxiety index, and comfort index to predict emergence delirium. RESULTS One hundred and sixteen patients were included for final analysis. During recovery from general anesthesia, brain status parameters increased significantly from T1 (wavelet index, 59.5 ± 6.2; pain threshold index, 61.7 ± 5.3; anxiety index, 9.2 ± 2.5; comfort index, 21.6 ± 8.7) to T4 (wavelet index, 67.4 ± 9.4; pain threshold index, 73.2 ± 9.1; anxiety index, 38.6 ± 11.2; comfort index, 66.1 ± 16.5; p < .001). To predict emergence delirium, areas under the curves [95% CI] for anxiety index were 0.84 [0.75-0.93] (p < .001), and comfort index was 0.89 [0.81-0.96] (p < .001). The Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium scale scores of 37 patients were higher than 10 indicating emergence delirium, and the incidence of emergence delirium was 31.90%. The sensitivity and specificity of anxiety index with corresponding cutoff values in predicting emergence delirium were 73.0% and 89.9%, and the sensitivity and specificity of comfort index in predicting emergence delirium were 91.9% and 83.5%. The best cutoff values for anxiety index and comfort index to predict emergence delirium were 46.5 and 68.5, respectively. The areas under the curves [95% CI] of wavelet index to predict emergence delirium were 0.43 [0.31-0.35] (p = .27), while the areas under the curves [95% CI] of pain threshold index to predict emergence delirium were 0.49 [0.37-0.62] (p = .73). DISCUSSION Both anxiety index and comfort index derived from electroencephalogram wavelet analysis were associated with emergence delirium in pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia for dental surgery. Wavelet index and pain threshold index were not associated with emergence delirium during general anesthesia for dental surgery in children. CONCLUSIONS AnXi and CFi might be used to guide anesthesiologists to identify and intervene ED in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND General anesthetic techniques can affect postoperative recovery. We compared the effect of propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and desflurane anesthesia on postoperative recovery. METHODS In this randomized trial, 150 patients undergoing robot-assisted or laparoscopic nephrectomy for renal cancer were randomly allocated to either the TIVA or desflurane anesthesia (DES) group. Postoperative recovery was evaluated using the Korean version of the Quality of Recovery-15 questionnaire (QoR-15K) at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h postoperatively. A generalized estimating equation (GEE) was performed to analyze longitudinal QoR-15K data. Fentanyl consumption, pain severity, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and quality of life three weeks after discharge were also compared. RESULTS Data were analyzed for 70 patients in each group. The TIVA group showed significantly higher QoR-15K scores at 24 and 48 h postoperatively (24 h: DES, 96 [77, 109] vs. TIVA, 104 [82, 117], median difference 8 [95% CI: 1, 15], P = 0.029; 48 h: 110 [95, 128] vs. 125 [109, 130], median difference 8 [95% CI: 1, 15], P = 0.022), however not at 72 h (P = 0.400). The GEE revealed significant effects of group (adjusted mean difference 6.2, 95% CI: 0.39, 12.1, P = 0.037) and time (P < 0.001) on postoperative QoR-15K scores without group-time interaction (P = 0.051). However, there were no significant differences in other outcomes, except for fentanyl consumption, within the first 24 h postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Propofol-based TIVA showed only a transient improvement in postoperative recovery than desflurane anesthesia, without significant differences in other outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE This aim of this study was to compare two anesthetic regimens in terms of extubation time and postoperative recovery in children undergoing ambulatory adenoidectomy. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study with propensity score matching. METHODS The medical charts of 452 children aged between 3 and 8 years undergoing ambulatory adenoidectomy were retrieved for analysis, of which 438 were eligible to participate in this study. A majority (n = 327) were children exposed to a conventional propofol-pronounced general anesthetic regimen (high-dose propofol plus low-dose remifentanil, labeled as group P), while n = 111 were administered a modified remifentanil-pronounced anesthetic regimen (low-dose propofol plus high-dose remifentanil, namely group R). Propensity score matching was employed to adjust for confounders, resulting in 69 matched patients in each group. The primary endpoint of this study was extubation time. The secondary endpoints were total intraoperative fluid volume, length of stay in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), postoperative pain rating, the incidence of emergence agitation, nausea and vomiting, as well as the level of consciousness (fully awake or waking by gentle patting) when transferred out of PACU, and any major complications (wound bleeding, reintubation, readmission, and overnight stay). FINDINGS No major complications were observed in both groups. Compared to group P, group R had significantly shorter extubation time (8.2 ± 1.4 minutes vs 13.3 ± 2.4 minutes, P < .001), shorter length of stay in the PACU (14.1 ± 3.1 minutes vs 20.2 ± 3.4 minutes, P < .001), and a higher proportion of cases being fully awake when transferred out of the PACU (91% vs 46%, P < .001). Lastly, the pain rating, frequency of oropharyngeal airway usage, incidence of emergence agitation, and nausea and vomiting were comparable between the two groups (P > .05 for all). CONCLUSIONS Remifentanil-pronounced anesthesia was superior to propofol-pronounced anesthesia in children undergoing ambulatory adenoidectomy, given that the former was associated with a faster recovery time from anesthesia without jeopardizing patient safety.

Abstract
Desflurane is an inhalational anesthetic agent with an appealing recovery profile. The present systematic review investigates the clinical effects and adverse events associated with desflurane use during supratentorial craniotomy for brain tumor resection in adults in comparison with other inhalational and intravenous anesthetic agents. A literature search was conducted across the MEDLINE, Library of Congress and LISTA (EBSCO) databases from January 2001 to January 2021. Twelve studies published between 2003 and 2020 were included in this systematic review. Desflurane was compared with either isoflurane, sevoflurane, or propofol for anesthesia maintenance. Brain relaxation scores showed no statistically significant difference between desflurane and the other anesthetic agents. Recovery timepoints, such as time to recovery, time to eye opening, time to extubation, time to follow commands, and time to reach a modified Aldrete score ≥9 were significantly shorter with desflurane in the majority of studies. Systemic hemodynamic variables (mean arterial pressure and heart rate) and cerebral hemodynamics (intracranial pressure and cerebrospinal fluid pressure) were comparable between desflurane and other anesthetic agents in each study. The results of this systematic review demonstrate that desflurane is associated with few adverse events when used for anesthesia maintenance in adult patients undergoing supratentorial brain tumor surgery. Large, prospective, comprehensive studies, utilizing standardized parameter evaluation could provide higher levels of evidence to support these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post anesthesia care units (PACU) await return of motor function in lower extremities, prior to discharge for patients undergoing spinal anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of a newly utilized recovery protocol that facilitated early discharges of patients undergoing total hip and knee arthroplasties (THA/TKA) to the floor before full motor recovery from spinal anesthesia is achieved. METHODS A total of 647 patients undergoing spinal anesthesia for primary THA (n = 190) and TKA (n = 457) were divided into 2 groups: (1) Early PACU discharge group: patients with partial or full motor blockade at discharge. (2) Control PACU discharge group: patients with full motor recovery at discharge. Readiness for discharge was assessed using a modified Aldrete Score system. The primary outcome was incidences of hypotension or rapid responses post-operatively. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the incidence of hypotension between the two groups (1.4 versus 1.39%, P = 1.0) and zero rapid responses were noted. Early discharge shortened mean PACU LOS time from 86.50 minutes to 70.27 minutes (P < .01). There was no difference in the incidence of nausea (0.55 versus 0%; P = .51) ordizziness (2.22 versus 0.35%; P = .09). CONCLUSION In this retrospective observational study, we found that early PACU discharge did not result in an increase in hemodynamic consequences on the surgical floor. Thus, discharge from PACU can be safely and more expeditiously performed without waiting for return of motor function in patients receiving spinal anesthesia for THA/TKA using a modified Aldrete Score recovery protocol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As patient-centered care gains more attention, assessing the patient's perspective on their recovery has become increasingly important. In response to the need for a reliable and valid patient reported outcome measurement tool for major surgical resections in Norway. The Norwegian Registry for Gastrointestinal Surgery (NORGAST) initiated a project to translate and evaluate QoR-15's psychometric properties for patients going through general, gastrointestinal (GI), and hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) resectional surgery. METHODS After a translation and adaption of the original version of QoR-15 into Norwegian, the QoR-15NO was psychometrically evaluated including a confirmatory factor analysis to test for unidimensionality, as well as tests for content validity, internal consistency, measurement error, construct validity, feasibility, and responsiveness. This process included cognitive interviews using a structured interview guide. Further, patients who underwent various types of GI/HPB surgery at five hospitals in different parts of Norway completed the QoR-15NO before surgery and on the first or second day after surgery. The impact of surgery was classified according to Surgical Outcome Risk Tool v2 (SORT), in extra major/complex, major, intermediate, and minor. RESULTS This study included 324 patients with 83% return rate with both pre- and postoperative forms. There were negative correlations between duration of surgery and postoperative QoR-15 score and the difference between post- and preoperative score (change score). Individuals who had gone through surgery with major impact had a lower postoperative mean QoR-15 score (97) than their counterparts who had experienced either medium (QoR-15: 110) or minor (QoR15: 119) impact surgery. Cronbach's alpha (0.88) and Omega Alpha Total (ωt = 0.90) indicate that the scale has good to very good internal consistency. Test-retest reliability was measured by Intra-class Correlation Coefficient to ICC = 0.70. Confirmatory factor analyses supported that a one-factor model with correlated residuals had a good fit to data. CONCLUSION This study supports QoR-15NO as a valid, essentially unidimensional, feasible, and responsive instrument among patients undergoing general, GI, and HPB resectional surgery in Norway. The total QoR-15NO score provides important information that can be used in an everyday clinical setting and integrated into NORGAST.

Abstract
Background Different discharge criteria are available for shifting patients out from postanesthesia care room following surgery. This study was done to compare the three-scoring system namely traditional time-based criteria, Fast track criteria and modified Aldrete score, in Indian population patients who recover after general anesthesia in postanesthesia care unit (PACU). Materials and Methods Three hundred and seventy-five patients scheduled for general anesthesia were included in this study. Induction of anesthesia was done with intravenous (IV) propofol and maintained with sevoflurane inhalation with oxygen and nitrous oxide. Reversal of residual neuromuscular blockade was done with IV neostigmine and glycopyrrolate. Patients were shifted to PACU following tracheal extubation and recovery was assessed using the traditional time-based criteria, fast track criteria, and modified Aldrete score. Results As per modified Aldrete score, mean time of shift out is 19 min with median of 15 min and standard deviation of 21.7 min. As per fast-track score, mean time of shift out is 187 min with median of 30 min and standard deviation of 243.7 min. As per the time-based criteria, mean time of shift out is 222 min with median of 240 min and standard deviation of 136.8 min. While using modified Aldrete score, majority of patients had a shorter stay in PACU and faster time to shift out as compared to fast-track criteria and traditional time-based criteria. Conclusion Modified Aldrete score when compared to fast-track scoring and time-based criteria shows early recovery and reduces the length of stay in PACU.

Abstract
PURPOSE We sought to develop and validate an Anticipated Surveillance Requirement Prediction Instrument (ASRI) for prediction of prolonged postanesthesia care unit length of stay (PACU-LOS, more than four hours) after ambulatory surgery. METHODS We analyzed hospital registry data from patients who received anesthesia care in ambulatory surgery centres (ASCs) of university-affiliated hospital networks in New York, USA (development and internal validation cohort [n = 183,711]) and Massachusetts, USA (validation cohort [n = 148,105]). We used stepwise backwards elimination to create ASRI. RESULTS The model showed discriminatory ability in the development, internal, and external validation cohorts with areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.82 to 0.83), 0.82 (95% CI, 0.81 to 0.83), and 0.80 (95% CI, 0.79 to 0.80), respectively. In cases started in the afternoon, ASRI scores ≥ 43 had a total predicted risk for PACU stay past 8 p.m. of 32% (95% CI, 31.1 to 33.3) vs 8% (95% CI, 7.9 to 8.5) compared with low score values (P-for-interaction < 0.001), which translated to a higher direct PACU cost of care of USD 207 (95% CI, 194 to 2,019; model estimate, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.64 to 1.73; P < 0.001) The effects of using the ASRI score on PACU use efficiency were greater in a free-standing ASC with no limitations on PACU bed availability. CONCLUSION We developed and validated a preoperative prediction tool for prolonged PACU-LOS after ambulatory surgery that can be used to guide scheduling in ambulatory surgery to optimize PACU use during normal work hours, particularly in settings without limitation of PACU bed availability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Processed electroencephalography (EEG) is used to monitor the level of anesthesia, and it has shown the potential to predict the occurrence of delirium. While emergence trajectories of relative EEG band power identified post hoc show promising results in predicting a risk for a delirium, they are not easily transferable into an online predictive application. This article describes a low-resource and easily applicable method to differentiate between patients at high risk and low risk for delirium, with patients at low risk expected to show decreasing EEG power during emergence. METHODS This study includes data from 169 patients (median age, 61 yr [49, 73]) who underwent surgery with general anesthesia maintained with propofol, sevoflurane, or desflurane. The data were derived from a previously published study. The investigators chose a single frontal channel, calculated the total and spectral band power from the EEG and calculated a linear regression model to observe the parameters' change during anesthesia emergence, described as slope. The slope of total power and single band power was correlated with the occurrence of delirium. RESULTS Of 169 patients, 32 (19%) showed delirium. Patients whose total EEG power diminished the most during emergence were less likely to screen positive for delirium in the postanesthesia care unit. A positive slope in total power and band power evaluated by using a regression model was associated with a higher risk ratio (total, 2.83 [95% CI, 1.46 to 5.51]; alpha/beta band, 7.79 [95% CI, 2.24 to 27.09]) for delirium. Furthermore, a negative slope in multiple bands during emergence was specific for patients without delirium and allowed definition of a test for patients at low risk. CONCLUSIONS This study developed an easily applicable exploratory method to analyze a single frontal EEG channel and to identify patterns specific for patients at low risk for delirium.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and inhalation anesthesia (IA) used in lumbar disc herniectomy on postoperative cognitive recovery based on the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) levels. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study sample consisted of 80 patients aged 18-65 years who were scheduled for elective lumbar disc herniectomy. The patients were divided into two groups according to the anesthesia technique applied, such as TIVA or IA. The patients in the TIVA group were administered remifentanil and propofol and those in the IA group were administered sevoflurane for maintenance. The MMSE was applied to the patients before the operation and 1h and 24 h postoperatively. Venous blood samples were obtained for the measurement of NSE before the operation and on the 24 h postoperatively. RESULTS The mean preoperative MMSE scores were similar in the two groups. In the TIVA group, the preoperative and postoperative MMSE scores at 1 h were similar but were higher at 24 h postoperatively compared to the previous two scores (p = 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). In the IA group, the preoperative and postoperative 24 h MMSE scores were similar but lower at 1h postoperatively than the other two scores (p = 0.006 and p < 0.001, respectively). In the TIVA group, there was a significant decrease in the postoperative serum NSE levels than the preoperative values (p = 0.038). CONCLUSION The use of IA may result in higher cognitive dysfunction 1h after the operation compared to TIVA. The effects of both methods on cognitive functions were similar at 24 h postoperatively.

Abstract
Purpose Sevoflurane is the preferred anesthetic agent for induction and maintenance of ambulatory surgery due to its property of fast onset and recovery. However, it has been recognized as one of the major contributors of emergence delirium. The aim of this study was to evaluate the preventive effect of intranasal dexmedetomidine on the occurrence of emergence delirium in pediatric patients under general anesthesia with sevoflurane. Patients and Methods Ninety pediatric patients undergoing dental rehabilitation under sevoflurane anesthesia were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into three groups (n=30 each in the 2 μg/kg dexmedetomidine, 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine, and control with saline groups). The same volume (0.02mL/kg) of the mixed solution was dropped into the nasal cavity of the children 30 minutes before surgery. We used the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale (PAED) to assess the level and incidence of delirium in the post-anesthesia care unit. Results Compared with the control group, prophylactic use of different dosages of intranasal dexmedetomidine significantly reduces the incidence of ED and severe ED in PACU (P<0.001). Intranasal administration of 2 μg/kg dexmedetomidine was associated with a better acceptance of mask induction and a better tolerance of separation with parents. Conclusion Both 2 μg/kg and 1 μg/kg intranasal dexmedetomidine can achieve ED preventive effects in PACU in dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia. A dosage of 2 μg/kg is more effective in preventing severe ED and providing better mask acceptance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emergence agitation or emergence delirium is a common complication of unknown etiology in pediatric anesthesia. Pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium (PAED) has been reported most commonly in younger children and may occur in about 30% of children up to 5-6 years old. Exposure to anesthetic agents may contribute to PAED, and we hypothesized that a management strategy to minimize exposure to volatile anesthetics may reduce PAED. Electroencephalography (EEG) signatures captured and displayed by brain function monitors during anesthesia change with concentration of sevoflurane and level of unconsciousness, and these EEG signatures may be used to inform titration of anesthetics. METHODS A single-center, parallel-group, two-arm, superiority trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio will be performed to compare the incidence of PAED following standard sevoflurane anesthesia (maintained at 1.0MAC) and EEG-guided anesthesia (minimum concentration to sustain surgical anesthesia as determined by monitoring of EEG signatures). Participants between 1 and 6 years of age undergoing surgical procedures involving minimal postoperative pain will be randomly assigned to receive standard (n = 90) or EEG-guided (n = 90) anesthesia. PAED score will be assessed by a blinded observer in the PACU on arrival and after 5, 10, 15, and 30 min. DISCUSSION Anesthesia management with proactive use of brain function monitoring is expected to reduce exposure to sevoflurane without compromising surgical anesthesia. We expect this reduced exposure should help prevent PAED. Routinely administering what may be considered standard levels of anesthetic such as 1.0 MAC sevoflurane may be excessive and potentially associated with unfavorable sequelae such as PAED.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emergence agitation (EA) is a common complication in pediatric anesthesia, especially in preschool children maintained by sevoflurane, with incidence ranging up to 80%. The purpose of the study was to determine whether sucking lollipop after awakening from sevoflurane anesthesia reduced the degree of EA in children undergoing ambulatory surgery. METHODS In this prospective study, 40 children aged 2 to 6 years scheduled for ambulatory surgery with sevoflurane were enrolled. They were randomly allocated to 1 of 2 groups after evaluating baseline EA levels using the pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium (PAED) scale immediately after awakening from general anesthesia: group L (sucking lollipop) or group C (control group, without sucking lollipop). The primary outcome was the overall PAED score after intervention. Pain score, parental satisfaction, the incidence of propofol rescue and negative postoperative behavioral changes (NPOBCs) were assessed. RESULTS The overall PAED score after intervention was significantly lower in Group L compared with Group C, with an estimated difference of -1.857 (95% CI, -2.884 to -0.831; P < .001) using generalized estimating equations. However, no significant intergroup differences were observed in the pain score, parental satisfaction, the incidence of propofol rescue and NPOBCs. CONCLUSIONS Sucking lollipop after awakening from sevoflurane anesthesia reduced the degree EA in children undergoing ambulatory surgery.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE The emergence profiles in patients undergoing total intravenous anesthesia with either propofol or remimazolam with flumazenil reversal were compared. DESIGN A prospective, double-blind, randomized trial. SETTING An operating room and a post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). PATIENTS Adult patients (n = 100) having American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status of I-III undergoing general anesthesia were enrolled and randomly assigned to the propofol or the remimazolam group. INTERVENTIONS The propofol group received target-controlled infusion of propofol, and the remimazolam group received continuous infusion of remimazolam. Continuous infusion of remifentanil was used in both groups. For emergence, flumazenil was used in increments of 0.2 mg in the remimazolam group. MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome was the time required for the patient to obey verbal commands. The secondary outcomes included the time to bispectral index (BIS) over 80, the time to laryngeal mask airway (LMA) removal, the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) scores in the PACU, and adverse events throughout the study period. MAIN RESULTS The time taken to obey verbal commands was significantly longer in the propofol group than the remimazolam group (14 [9, 19]) vs. 5 [3, 7]) minutes, P < 0.001; median difference -9, 95% confidence interval -11 to -6). The times to BIS over 80 and to LMA removal were also significantly longer in the propofol group. In addition, the RASS score upon arrival to the PACU differed significantly between the two groups (P = 0.006). Re-sedation in the PACU was observed in 11 (22%) of the patients in the remimazolam group. CONCLUSIONS Remimazolam-based total intravenous anesthesia with flumazenil reversal may be effective in reducing emergence time, but a significant incidence of re-sedation was observed in the PACU. Further studies are needed to determine adequate dose and timing of routine flumazenil use and minimize the risk of re-sedation.

Abstract
The objective of this systematic review was to estimate the relative risk of prolonged times to tracheal extubation with desflurane versus sevoflurane or isoflurane. Prolonged times are defined as ≥15 min from end of surgery (or anesthetic discontinuation) to extubation in the operating room. They are associated with reintubations, naloxone and flumazenil administration, longer times from procedure end to operating room exit, greater differences between actual and scheduled operating room times, longer times from operating room exit to next case start, longer durations of the workday, and more operating room personnel idle while waiting for extubation. Published randomized clinical trials of humans were included. Generalized pivotal methods were used to estimate the relative risk of prolonged extubation for each study from reported means and standard deviations of extubation times. The relative risks were combined using DerSimonian-Laird random effects meta-analysis with Knapp-Hartung adjustment. From 67 papers, there were 78 two-drug comparisons, including 5167 patients. Studies were of high quality (23/78) or moderate quality (55/78), the latter due to lack of blinding of observers to group assignment and/or patient attrition because patients were extubated after operating room exit. Desflurane resulted in a 65% relative reduction in the incidence of prolonged extubation compared with sevoflurane (95% confidence interval 49% to 76%, P < .0001) and in a 78% relative reduction compared with isoflurane (58% to 89%, P = .0001). There were no significant associations between studies' relative risks and quality, industry funding, or year of publication (all six meta-regressions P ≥ .35). In conclusion, when emergence from general anesthesia with different drugs are compared with sevoflurane or isoflurane, suitable benchmarks quantifying rapidity of emergence are reductions in the incidence of prolonged extubation achieved by desflurane, approximately 65% and 78%, respectively. These estimates give realistic context for interpretation of results of future studies that compare new anesthetic agents to current anesthetics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize the characteristics of patients with delayed discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit and to analyze the factors and outcomes of delayed discharge. METHODS Twenty cases of delayed discharge from the PACU (PACU stay >2 hours after surgery) of the main operating room in Liaocheng People's Hospital, a class A tertiary comprehensive hospital, between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2022, among 28,084 patients who were transferred to the PACU from the operating rooms after surgery, were retrospectively analyzed. The collected data included patient characteristics, American society of anesthesiologists grade, information related to surgery and anesthesia, and outcomes. The factors for delay were assigned to 1 of 6 groups: delayed recovery from anesthesia, surgical complications, cardiovascular instability, hypoxia, inadequate analgesia, and waiting for the operating room. RESULTS The incidence of delayed discharge from PACU was 0.7‰. Among 20 patients, more than half of the patients were over 65 years of age, American society of anesthesiologists grade II~III, body mass index <30 kg/m2, and urological surgery (7, 35%), liver surgery (4, 20%), thoracic surgery (4, 20%) accounted for a relatively high proportion. Nineteen (95%) patients received general anesthesia with or without peripheral nerve block. The main factors included delayed recovery from anesthesia (6, 30%), surgical complications (5, 25%), cardiovascular complications (4, 20%), hypoxia (3,15%). After discharge from the PACU, 1 (5%) died in the intensive care unit, and the other 19 (95%) patients were safely discharged from the hospital. CONCLUSION The incidence of delayed discharge from the PACU was low, and it was more likely to occur in the elderly, during major operations, and under general anesthesia. Delayed recovery from anesthesia was the most common factor. Most patients were safely discharged from the hospital.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the incidence and risk factors of hypoxemia in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) after general anesthesia in children. DESIGN A retrospective observational study. METHODS Elective surgical patients (N = 3,840 patients) treated in a pediatric hospital were divided into a hypoxemia group and a nonhypoxemia group according to the presence of hypoxemia following transport to the PACU. The clinical data of the 3,840 patients were compared between these two groups to evaluate factors that were linked to the development of postoperative hypoxemia. Factors that showed a statistically significant difference (P < .05) in single-factor tests were then examined in multivariate regression analyses to identify hypoxemia risk factors. FINDINGS In our study group of 3,840 patients, 167 (4.35%) patients developed hypoxemia, with an incidence of 4.35%. Univariate analysis indicated that age, weight, anesthesia method, and operation type were significantly associated with hypoxemia. Logistic regression analysis indicated that operation type was associated with hypoxemia. CONCLUSIONS Surgery type is a primary risk factor for pediatric hypoxemia in the PACU following general anesthesia. Patients undergoing oral surgery are more prone to hypoxemia and should be more intensively monitored to ensure timely treatment if required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this paper was to explore pupillary monitoring for determining remifentanil consumption during general anesthesia and evaluating postoperative recovery quality. METHODS Eighty patients undergoing elective laparoscopic uterine surgery were randomly divided into pupillary monitoring group (Group P) and control group (Group C). In Group P, remifentanil dosage during general anesthesia was determined according to pupil dilation reflex; in Group C, it was adjusted according to hemodynamic changes. Intraoperative remifentanil consumption and endotracheal tube extraction time were recorded. The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Score, hemodynamic changes, and opioid-related adverse reactions in the post-anesthesia care unit were also recorded. The parameters of pupil light reflex from extubation to 30 min after extubation were analyzed in Group P, and the responsiveness of these parameters and hemodynamic changes to NRS was determined by ROC curve analyses. RESULTS Compared with Group C, in Group P, intraoperative remifentanil consumption, the NRS Score at 20 minutes after extubation, extubation time, and the incidence of nausea, vomiting, and respiratory amnesia were all significantly decreased (all, P<0.05). In Group P, ∆HR and ∆MAP had no value in judging the change of NRS. The ROC values and diagnostic cutoff values of ΔInit, ΔACV, and ΔMCV responding to NRS variation were 0.775 (95% CI: 0.582-0.968), 0.734(95% CI: 0.537-0.930), and 0.822 (95% CI: 0.648-0.997) and 0.21 (sensitivity, 92.3%; specificity, 23.1%), -1.3 (sensitivity, 92.3%; specificity, 18.3%), and -1.0 (sensitivity, 84.6%; specificity, 17.7%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative pupil dilation reflex monitoring can reduce remifentanil consumption and improve postoperative recovery quality. Furthermore, postoperative pupil light reflex monitoring can help evaluate pain degree with high sensitivity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite an 18%-30% prevalence, there is no consensus regarding pathogenesis of emergence delirium after anesthesia in children. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an optical neuroimaging modality that relies on blood oxygen level-dependent response, translating to a mean increase in oxyhemoglobin and a decrease in deoxyhemoglobin. We aimed to correlate the emergence delirium in the postoperative period with the changes in the frontal cortex utilizing fNIRS reading primarily and also with blood glucose, serum electrolytes, and preoperative anxiety scores. METHODS A total of 145 ASA I and II children aged 2-5 years, undergoing ocular examination under anesthesia, were recruited by recording the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Score after acquiring the Institute Ethics Committee approval and written informed parental consent. Induction and maintenance were done with O2, N2O, and Sevoflurane. The emergence delirium was assessed using the PAED score in the postoperative period. The frontal cortex fNIRS recordings were taken throughout anesthesia. RESULTS A total of 59 children (40.7%) had emergence delirium. The ED+ group had a significant activation left superior frontal cortex (t = 2.26E+00; p = .02) and right middle frontal cortex (t = 2.27E+00; p = .02) during induction, significant depression in the left middle frontal (t = -2.22E+00; p = .02), left superior frontal and bilateral medial (t = -3.01E+00; p = .003), right superior frontal and bilateral medial (t = -2.44E+00; p = .015), bilateral medial and superior (t = -3.03E+00; p = .003), and right middle frontal cortex (t = -2.90E+00; p = .004) during the combined phase of maintenance, and significant activation in cortical activity in the left superior frontal cortex (t = 2.01E+00; p = .0047) during the emergence in comparison with the ED- group. CONCLUSION There is significant difference in the change in oxyhemoglobin concentration during induction, maintenance, and emergence in specific frontal brain regions between children with and without emergence delirium.

Abstract
Background Comprehensive health care includes the evaluation of satisfaction in patient care and the quality of medical services. High-precision instruments have been used to assess the quality of recovery after anesthesia (QoR), such as the QoR-15 questionnaire, a validated and accurate assessment tool that considers aspects of emotionality, physical and psychological well-being, pain, and autonomy. Objective To assess QoR in postoperative patients who underwent anesthesia. Material and methods Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, carried out from March to August 2022. 80 patients from 18 to 70 years who underwent an anesthetic procedure and to which the anesthetic quality QoR-15 questionnaire was administered 24 hours after surgery were included. Descriptive statistics were performed according to the Shapiro-Wilk test. For quantitative variables it was used Mann-Whitney U, and for qualitative variables chi-squared; it was considered significant a value of p < 0.05. Results The 80 patients obtained a QoR-15 score of 122.06 (52-147), and their QoR was considered good. Anesthetic recovery quality in patients undergoing regional anesthetic techniques was excellent in 42.5% and 10% had balanced general anesthesia, p = 0.011. Conclusions QoR was higher with regional anesthetic techniques. Quality assessment through validated tools allows objective evaluation and monitoring of the care process in medical services.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients' perception of postoperative recovery is a key aspect of perioperative care. Self-reported quality of recovery (QoR) has evolved as a relevant endpoint in perioperative research. Several psychometric instruments have been introduced to assess self-reported recovery 24 hours after surgery. However, there is no questionnaire suitable for use in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). We aimed to develop and psychometrically evaluate a QoR questionnaire for the PACU (QoR-PACU). METHODS The QoR-PACU was developed in German language based on the 40-item QoR-40 questionnaire. Between March and November 2020, adult patients scheduled for elective urologic surgery completed the QoR-PACU preoperatively and during the PACU stay. We evaluated feasibility, validity, reliability, and responsiveness. RESULTS We included 375 patients. After two piloting phases including 72 and 48 patients, respectively, we administered the final version of the QoR-PACU to 255 patients, with a completion rate of 96.5%. Patients completed the QoR-PACU at a median of 125.0 (83.0; 156.8) min after arrival in the PACU. Construct validity was good with postoperative QoR-PACU sum scores correlating with age (r = 0.23, 95% CI: 0.11 to 0.35, p < 0.001), length of PACU stay (r = -0.15, 95%CI: -0.27 to -0.03, p = 0.02), pain in the PACU (r = -0.48, 95% CI: -0.57 to -0.37, p < 0.001) and piritramide dose administered (r = -0.29, 95% CI: -0.40 to -0.17, p < 0.001). Cronbach's alpha was 0.67 (95% CI: 0.61-0.73) with moderate test-retest reliability (ICC of 0.67, 95% CI: 0.38 to 0.83). Cohen's effect size was 3.08 and the standardized response mean was 1.65 indicating adequate responsiveness. CONCLUSION The assessment of QoR in the early postoperative period is feasible. We found high acceptability, good validity, adequate responsiveness, and moderate reliability. Future studies should evaluate the psychometric properties of the QoR-PACU in more heterogeneous patient populations including female and gender-diverse patients with varying degress of perioperative risk.

Abstract
The post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) length of stay is an important perioperative efficiency metric. The aim of this study was to develop machine learning models to predict ambulatory surgery patients at risk for prolonged PACU length of stay - using only pre-operatively identified factors - and then to simulate the effectiveness in reducing the need for after-hours PACU staffing. Several machine learning classifier models were built to predict prolonged PACU length of stay (defined as PACU stay ≥ 3 hours) on a training set. A case resequencing exercise was then performed on the test set, in which historic cases were re-sequenced based on the predicted risk for prolonged PACU length of stay. The frequency of patients remaining in the PACU after-hours (≥ 7:00 pm) were compared between the simulated operating days versus actual operating room days. There were 10,928 ambulatory surgical patients included in the analysis, of which 580 (5.31%) had a PACU length of stay ≥ 3 hours. XGBoost with SMOTE performed the best (AUC = 0.712). The case resequencing exercise utilizing the XGBoost model resulted in an over three-fold improvement in the number of days in which patients would be in the PACU past 7pm as compared with historic performance (41% versus 12%, P<0.0001). Predictive models using preoperative patient characteristics may allow for optimized case sequencing, which may mitigate the effects of prolonged PACU lengths of stay on after-hours staffing utilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients are administered supplemental oxygen upon emergence from general anesthesia against the risk of hypoxia. However, few studies have assessed the weaning from supplemental oxygen therapy. This study investigated the frequency and risk factors of failure to discontinue supplemental oxygen at a postanesthesia care unit (PACU). METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted in a tertiary hospital. We reviewed the medical records of adult patients admitted to the PACU after general anesthesia for elective surgery between January 2022 and November 2022. The primary endpoint was the frequency of failed weaning from supplemental oxygen therapy at PACU. A failed weaning was defined as oxygen saturation (SpO2) < 92% after discontinuing oxygen administration. The rate of failed discontinuation of supplemental oxygen at the PACU was assessed. Demographics, intraoperative, and postoperative factors were explored to determine potential associations with failed weaning from supplemental oxygen therapy using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS We analyzed 12,109 patients. We identified 842 cases of failed weaning from supplemental oxygen therapy, with a frequency of 1:14 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1:15-1:13). Risk factors that showed the strongest associations with failed weaning included postoperative hypothermia (odds ratio [OR], 5.42; 95% CI, 4.40-6.68; P < 0.001), major abdominal surgery (OR, 4.04; 95% CI, 3.29-4.99; P < 0.001), and preoperative SpO2 < 92% in room air (OR, 3.15; 95% CI, 2.09-4.64; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION In the analysis of more than 12,000 general anesthetics, an overall risk of failed weaning from supplemental oxygen therapy of 1:14 was observed. The identified risk factors may help determine the discontinuation of supplemental oxygen administration at PACU. TRIAL REGISTRATION Not applicable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients are recommended not to drive for at least the first 24 h after endoscopy with propofol sedation. However, the evidence underlying these recommendations is scarce. We hypothesized that after endoscopic procedures performed under propofol sedation, the subject's driving ability was restored in less than 24 h. METHODS We prospectively enrolled thirty patients between 20 and 70 years possessing a legitimate driver's license scheduled for endoscopy at our hospital. The sample chosen was a convenience sample. Gastroscopy or colonoscopy was performed with propofol sedation. Before and after endoscopy, the investigator drove the subjects to the laboratory to assess their driving skills using a driving simulation system, which employs 3 driving scenarios designed by professional transportation researchers. The blood propofol concentration was estimated before endoscopy, and 2 and 4 h after endoscopy. The primary outcome was the time required for subjects to recover their driving ability after propofol sedation. The secondary outcome was the blood propofol concentration before and after endoscopic procedures under propofol anesthesia. RESULTS Thirty volunteers participated in the study and 18 of them completed all the interventions. In the low-risk S-curve scene, the mean acceleration, lane deviation, and number of deviations from the path at baseline (0.016 cm/s2, 42.50 cm, and 0.83, respectively) were significantly less than that at post-2 h (0.029 cm/s2, P = 0.001; 53.80 cm, P = 0.014; 2.06, P = 0.022). In the moderate-(overtaking) and high-risk (emergency collision avoidance) scenes, the tested parameters at baseline and post-2 h were statistically comparable. In the low-, moderate-, and high-risk scenes the tested parameters at baseline and post-4 h were statistically comparable. The total range of propofol was 120-280 mg.The mean blood concentration of propofol at post-2 h was 0.81 ± 0.40 µg/mL, and at post-4 h was below the limit of detection. CONCLUSION After endoscopy performed under propofol sedation, subjects' driving abilities were completely restored at 4 h when tested on a simulator.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ketamine is administered in the perioperative period for its benefits in analgesia, anti-agitation and anti-depression when administered at a small dose. However, it is not clear whether the intra-operative administration of ketamine would affect emergence under sevoflurane anesthesia. To investigate this effect, we designed this trial. METHODS In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, we enrolled 44 female patients aged 18-60 who were scheduled to elective laparoscopic gynecological surgeries. All patients were randomly assigned to saline or s-ketamine group. In s-ketamine group, patients received 0.125 mg/kg s-ketamine 30 min after the start of surgery. In saline group, patients were administered the same volume of saline. Sevoflurane and remifentanil were used to maintain general anesthesia. The primary outcome was emergence time. We also assessed postoperative agitation, cognitive function, and delirium. In addition, we collected and analyzed prefrontal electroencephalogram (EEG) during and after general anesthesia. RESULTS There were no significant differences in emergence time between s-ketamine group and saline group (10.80 ± 3.77 min vs. 10.00 ± 2.78 min, P = 0.457). Neither postoperative agitation (4 [3, 4] vs. 4 [3, 4], P = 0.835) nor cognitive function (25.84 ± 2.69 vs. 25.55 ± 2.19, P = 0.412) differed between groups. No postoperative delirium was observed in either group. Subanesthetic s-ketamine resulted in active EEG with decreased power of slow (-0.35 ± 1.13 dB vs. -1.63 ± 1.03 dB, P = 0.003), delta (-0.22 ± 1.11 dB vs. -1.32 ± 1.09 dB, P = 0.011) and alpha (-0.31 ± 0.71 dB vs. -1.71 ± 1.34 dB, P = 0.0003) waves and increased power of beta-gamma bands (-0.30 ± 0.89 dB vs. 4.20 ± 2.08 dB, P < 0.0001) during sevoflurane anesthesia, as well as an increased alpha peak frequency (-0.16 ± 0.48 Hz vs. 0.31 ± 0.73 Hz, P = 0.026). EEG patterns did not differ during the recovery period after emergence between groups. CONCLUSION Ketamine administered during sevoflurane anesthesia had no apparent influence on emergence time in young and middle-aged female patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Subanesthetic s-ketamine induced an active prefrontal EEG pattern during sevoflurane anesthesia but did not raise neurological side effects after surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Emergence from anesthesia is a critical period and cough can result in adverse effects. Propofol inhibits airway reflexes and when infused it reduces cough more than inhalation anesthesia does. We evaluated the effect of a propofol bolus given at emergence on the incidence of coughing following a desflurane-based anesthesia. METHODS One hundred and fifty-four patients scheduled for elective surgery were prospectively randomized to propofol (0.5 mg·kg-1) or normal saline (NS) administered at the end of the surgery at 1 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of desflurane. A "no touch" emergence technique was used until extubation. The primary outcome was the incidence of cough at the discontinuation of desflurane (T0) and reaching a MAC adjusted for age (MACage) of 0.15. Secondary outcomes included incidence and severity of cough until five minutes postextubation (T0-T5), time to extubation, nausea and vomiting, sedation, hemodynamic variations, postoperative hypoventilation, hypoxemia, and sore throat. RESULTS We could not draw inferences on the incidence of cough between T0 and MACage of 0.15 because only 27/68 (40%) patients in the NS group and 13/73 (18%) patients in the propofol group regained consciousness before reaching a MACage of 0.15. There were no significant differences between the groups in coughing incidence and severity between T0 and T5 (NS group, 57/68 [84%] vs propofol group, 70/73 [96%] ). The mean time to extubation in the propofol group was prolonged by 3 min 27 sec (95% confidence interval, 1 min 7 sec to 4 min 47 sec; P < 0.001) and more vasopressors were used at emergence (P = 0.02). The incidence of respiratory complications, nausea and vomiting, agitation, and sedation were not different between groups. CONCLUSION In the present trial, a propofol bolus administered at emergence did not reduce the incidence of cough occurring between T0 and T5 following a desflurane-based general anesthesia compared with placebo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The postoperative QoR-15 questionnaire may improve the detection of postoperative complications on an early basis and contribute to optimize treatment and recovery. No validated Spanish QoR-15 questionnaire has been available to date. METHODS The Spanish QoR-15 questionnaire (QoR-15E), carried out by official bilingual translators, was administered to 242 adult patients undergoing elective surgery before and 24 h after surgery. Patients were asked about their perceived quality of general recovery using a visual analogue scale (VAS). A random subgroup of 36 patients completed a third questionnaire 30-60 min after having completed the first one, and under the same conditions. RESULTS The Pearson correlation coefficient between QoR-15E and the VAS score was 0.759. Cronbach's alpha was 0.856 in the postoperative period. Reliability by the split-half method was 0.781. Test-retest correlation coefficient was 0.998. Cohen's d was 0.94. The mean time to complete the preoperative questionnaire was 2.9 ± 0.5 min. CONCLUSIONS The QoR-15E is valid and reliable for assessing postoperative quality of recovery in Spanish-speaking patients, with psychometric and interpretative features similar to those of the original instrument.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An orientation strategy providing repeated verbal reminders of time, place, and person has been widely used for the non-pharmacological management of delirium. We hypothesised that using this strategy could reduce emergence agitation and improve recovery profiles. METHODS This prospective observer-blinded RCT included male and female patients aged 18-70 yr undergoing minimally invasive abdominal surgery. During emergence from general anaesthesia, subjects in the orientation group (n=57) were provided a repeated reminder, including orientation: '(Patient's name), you are now recovering from general anaesthesia after surgery at Seoul National University Hospital, open your eyes!' via noise-cancelling headphones, whereas those in the control group (n=57) only heard their name: '(Patient's name), open your eyes!'. The primary outcome was the incidence of emergence agitation (Riker sedation agitation scale [SAS] ≥5). The incidence of dangerous agitation (SAS=7), maximal SAS score in the operating room, and recovery profile until 24 h postoperatively were evaluated as secondary outcomes. RESULTS The incidence of emergence agitation in the operating room was significantly lower in the orientation group than in the control group (16/57 [28.1%] vs 38/57 [66.7%]; relative risk [95% confidence interval], 0.5 [0.3-0.7]; P<0.001). The incidence of dangerous agitation (0 [0.0%] vs 10 [17.5%], P=0.001) and the median maximal SAS score (4 [4-5] vs 5 [4-6], P<0.001) were also lower in the orientation group. Secondary outcomes, other than agitation-related variables, were comparable between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Repeated verbal stimulation of orientation may serve as a simple and easily applicable strategy to reduce emergence agitation after general anaesthesia.

Abstract
PURPOSE The supramaximal stimulation (SMS) of the TOF test causes uncomfortable sensations in patients. We aimed to determine whether the submaximal stimulation would be reliable in TOF tests with reduced painful sensation. METHODS The accelomyography (AMG) and electromyography (EMG) monitor was applied at each arm and general anesthesia was induced and maintained by total intravenous anesthesia. At extubation, we conducted TOF test three times at each of four different currents: SMS, 70% SMS, 50% SMS, and 30% SMS. The same procedure was performed in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) only with EMG, and the pain scores on the numerical rating scale (NRS) during the tests were recorded. RESULTS A total of 36 patients were enrolled. At extubation, TOF ratios with SMS in AMG and EMG were 112.0 ± 13.1% and 93.7 ± 8.9%, respectively. There were no significant differences in TOF ratios between the SMS and lower stimulation intensities. However, 30% and 50% SMS showed significantly higher rates of the unmeasurable results of tests in the PACU. In terms of the stimulation pain, NRS showed a downward pattern as the current decreased and was significantly lower at 50% and 30% SMS than the NRS at SMS. CONCLUSION The TOF test with submaximal stimulation is still reliable and can reduce stimulation pain. Considering the importance of the TOF results in determining extubation, the authors suggest the minimal current for the TOF test as 70% SMS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Left-sided frontal alpha asymmetry on electroencephalograms, which indicates decreased relative left-hemispheric activity, has been associated with depression, anxiety, and stress responsivity. We aimed to evaluate the association between perioperative measures of frontal alpha asymmetry and quality of recovery (QoR) after surgery. METHODS We enrolled 110 female patients undergoing thyroidectomy and recorded perioperative electroencephalograms. The power of the prefrontal alpha band (8-13 Hz) was measured in the Fp1 and Fp2 leads. Left-sided frontal alpha asymmetry was defined as a higher alpha band power in Fp1 than in Fp2 and vice versa. QoR was assessed using the QoR-15 score on the day before surgery and postoperative days 1 and 2. The primary study endpoint was a difference in postoperative global QoR-15 score between preoperative left-sided and right-sided alpha asymmetry groups. The predictability of frontal alpha asymmetry for poor QoR-15 score was also evaluated. RESULTS The global QoR-15 score showed a significant group-by-time interaction, and post-hoc analysis revealed significantly lower scores on postoperative days 1 (P=0.006) and 2 (P<0.001) in the left-sided frontal alpha asymmetry group. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, preoperative left-sided frontal alpha asymmetry was associated with a 3.3-fold increased risk of the lowest tertile for the postoperative day 1 QoR-15 score (95% CI: 1.31-8.24; P=0.011). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative left-sided frontal alpha asymmetry was independently associated with a lower postoperative QoR-15 score in female patients undergoing thyroidectomy, highlighting the potential role of preoperative frontal electroencephalography in predicting patient-centred outcomes after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To develop prediction models for extubation time and midterm recovery time estimation in ophthalmic patients who underwent general anesthesia. METHODS Totally 1824 ophthalmic patients who received general anesthesia at Joint Shantou International Eye Center were included. They were divided into a training dataset of 1276 samples, a validation dataset of 274 samples and a check dataset of 274 samples. Up to 85 to 87 related factors were collected for extubation time and midterm recovery time analysis, respectively, including patient factors, anesthetic factors, surgery factors and laboratory examination results. First, multiple linear regression was used for predictor selection. Second, different methods were used to develop predictive models for extubation time and midterm recovery time respectively. Finally, the models' generalization abilities were evaluated using a same check dataset with MSE, RMSE, MAE, MAPE, R-Squared and CCC. RESULTS The fuzzy neural network achieved the highest R-Squared of 0.956 for extubation time prediction and 0.885 for midterm recovery time, and the RMSE value was 6.637 and 9.285, respectively. CONCLUSION The fuzzy neural network developed in this study had good generalization performance in predicting both extubation time and midterm recovery time of ophthalmic patients undergoing general anesthesia.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the effect of preoperative oral carbohydrate (POC) loading on the occurrence of complications in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) after general anesthesia. DESIGN Prospective observational cohort study METHODS: Patients who were scheduled for abdominal surgery under general anesthesia at our institution were divided into the POC group and control group based on whether they drank carbohydrate solution 2 hours before surgery. POC loading of the patients was decided by the responsible surgeon. In PACU, the occurrence of postoperative complications including delayed emergence, emergence agitation, hypoxemia, hypertension, hypotension, moderate to severe postoperative pain, nausea and vomiting, hypothermia, shivering, and time to awakening, time to extubation, length of PACU stay were recorded. FINDINGS Data from 307 patients (n = 154 in POC group and n = 153 in control group) were included in the final analysis. Compared to the control group, POC led to a near-significant reduction in the overall incidence of complications in PACU after surgery (37.0% vs 47.7%, P = .058). The POC group had a lower incidence of hypothermia and shorter mean time to awakening when compared to control group (6.5% vs 16.3%, P = .007 and 19 min vs 21 min, P = .007, respectively). No statistical differences were detected in other outcome measurements between the POC group and the control group. CONCLUSIONS POC is associated with a trend to decrease the overall incidence of complications during recovery period after general anesthesia in patients who underwent abdominal surgery. Moreover, POC could reduce the risk of hypothermia in PACU and shorten the time to awakening.

Abstract
AIM Neuromuscular muscle relaxants are still indispensable for surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia, and the use of these agents may result in postoperative residual curarization. Sugammadex may offer a distinct advantage to pediatric patients where residual neuromuscular blockade may be poorly tolerated. Sugammadex is approved for use in adults and children over two years. This is the main reason why large-scale studies could not be conducted in the group of patients younger than two years old. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sugammadex for reversing deep rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade in children under two years of age. METHODS Pediatric patients younger than two years of age who underwent neurosurgery under sevoflurane anesthesia were included in the study. Neuromuscular block was achieved by the administration of rocuronium. It was antagonized by the administration of 5 mg/kg sugammadex and evaluated using train-of-four (TOF). Primary outcome measure was the time from sugammadex administration to return of the TOF ratio to 0,9. Postoperative adverse events were also recorded. RESULTS Two hundred eighty patients (10 day-24 months of age; 3-18 kg) were included in this study. Reversal of deep rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block with sugammadex was rapid in all patients. No residual curarization or recurarization was observed. No adverse events or hypersensitivity reactions were observed after administration of sugammadex. CONCLUSİON: Reversal of rocuronium-induced deep neuromuscular block in infants was rapid and safe. Sugammadex provided safe extubation in patients younger than two years of age who had undergone neurosurgery. Research Fund.

Abstract
Sevoflurane and desflurane are commonly used inhalation anesthetics in clinical practice. This study compared the synergistic effects of sevoflurane and desflurane on the muscarinic agent vecuronium in laparoscopic colon cancer surgery. The aim of this study was to compare sevoflurane and desflurane in a synergistic effect on the muscle relaxant vecuronium in laparoscopic colon cancer surgery. Sixty patients undergoing elective laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer were randomly divided into sevoflurane (n = 30) and desflurane (n = 30) groups. After anesthesia and successful tracheal intubation, patients in both groups were maintained with combined remifentanil. Muscle relaxant effects were monitored in both groups using a muscle relaxant monitor (train of stimuli-Watch), the onset time, T1 and T2 recovery time, and muscle relaxant dosage of vecuronium were observed. Hemodynamic changes were observed in both groups, and the dosage of vasoactive drugs was recorded. The quality of recovery of the patients was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the discharge from the Aldrete score criteria. There was no significant difference in the onset time of vecuronium between the two groups (P > .05). The desflurane group's T1 and T2 recovery times were later than that of the sevoflurane group. The dosage of vecuronium was statistically significantly less than that in the sevoflurane group (P < .05); the extubation time in the desflurane group was statistically significantly longer than that in the sevoflurane group (P < .05). There were no significant differences in preoperative and intraoperative mean arterial pressure, heart rate, ephedrine and atropine dosage, MMSE score, and Aldrete score between the 2 groups (P > .05). Compared with sevoflurane, desflurane has a stronger synergistic effect on the muscle relaxant of vecuronium without increasing the incidence of cardiovascular adverse reactions and affecting patient recovery.
