Article Abstract
In this study, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the anesthesia effects of remifentanil plus dexmedetomidine versus remifentanil alone in cardiac surgery. Literature search was performed on PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, and other databases for relevant literature published in English or Chinese before October 2021. A total of 17 studies, consisting of 1350 patients, were included in this study. Of these, 10 studies showed that remifentanil plus dexmedetomidine had a good anesthesia effect in cardiac surgery (OR = 3.61, 95% CI: 1.73, 7.52, < 0.001), and 8 studies showed that the Ramsay score test of anesthesia (SMD = 0.88; 95% CI: -0.77, 2.53; < 0.001) in the experimental group was better than that in the control group. In addition, changes in the hemodynamic heart rate (SMD = -0.74; 95% CI: -1.41, -0.07; < 0.001) and mean arterial pressure (SMD = -0.18; 95% CI: -0.72, 0.36; < 0.001) of the two groups of anesthesia were counted in 17 studies, which also showed that the anesthesia effect of remifentanil plus dexmedetomidine was good. Thus, remifentanil plus dexmedetomidine may be a more promising option for cardiac surgery anesthesia than remifentanil alone.

Background: Spinal cord stimulation is a validated approach for managing chronic pain syndromes. The stimulator placement typically requires sedation, and an awake phase is needed to ensure optimal lead positioning. We describe a novel multimodal sedation approach using target-controlled infusions of propofol, remifentanil, and dexmedetomidine, combined with boluses of ketamine, guided by electroencephalography and nociception-antinociception balance monitoring.

Background: To investigate the early effect of esketamine on the tumor metastatic microenvironment in patients with lung cancer.
Methods: Sixteen adults aged 45-80 years with the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 1 to 3 were randomly divided into the experimental group (group E) and the control group (group C). Group E received esketamine at 1 mg/kg during anesthesia induction and a continuous infusion of 0.

Obese patients undergoing bariatric and metabolic surgeries require tailored perioperative pain management. This review aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of two adjuncts used in general anesthesia (GA), remifentanil and dexmedetomidine, in this patient population. Using relevant keywords, we searched PubMed, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.

Purpose: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR) is increasingly performed as a day surgery procedure under enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol. While opioid-based anesthesia (OA) remains standard, its adverse effects may impair postoperative recovery. This randomized controlled non-inferiority trial assessed whether opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) provides non-inferior postoperative pain control to OA for day surgery LIHR under ERAS protocol and evaluated comprehensive recovery outcomes.

Purpose: This study aims to validate the efficacy and safety of combining different doses of esketamine with propofol, remifentanil, and dexmedetomidine in spinal surgery under intra-operative neuroelectrophysiological monitoring (IONM).
Methods: All enrolled patients underwent a total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) maintenance regimen, which included propofol, remifentanil, and dexmedetomidine. The patients were randomly assigned to four groups based on the use and dosage of esketamine: Group Control (TIVA + NS), Group A (TIVA + Esketamine 0.
