Article Abstract
Background: Sedation is a landmark treatment in the intensive care unit; however, the disadvantages of intravenous sedative drugs are increasingly prominent. Volatile sedation is becoming increasingly popular in ICUs due to fewer technical issues with the development of anaesthesia reflectors.
Objective: To explore the safety and effectiveness of inhaled sedation in critically ill patients.
Search Methods: We searched the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases for all randomized trials comparing awakening and extubation times, ICU length of stay, and side effects of different inhaled sedative drugs using an anaesthetic-conserving device (ACD) with intravenous sedation.
Selection Criteria: The inclusion criteria were formulated in accordance with the PICOS: P, use of sedatives after admission to the ICU, aged > 18 years; I, intravenous sedatives; C, use of volatile sedatives (heptafluoride, sevoflurane, isoflurane, or desflurane) by AnaConDa or Mirus reflector; O, at least one primary outcome (awakening time, extubation time, ICU length of stay) or secondary outcome (postoperative nausea and vomiting, PONV) or incidence of delirium was reported; and S, RCT. The extubation time was defined as time from ICU admission to extubation.
Data Collection And Analysis: Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, data extraction, and literature quality evaluation and reached a consensus after cross-checking.
Main Results: Fifteen trials with a total of 1185 patients were included, including 568 in the inhaled sedation group and 617 in the intravenous sedation group. Compared with intravenous sedation, inhaled sedation administered through an ACD shortened the awakening time and extubation time. There were no differences in the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) between the two groups.
Conclusion: Inhaled sedation has advantages over intravenous sedation in terms of awakening time, extubation time, and ICU LOS (non-cardiac ICU); however, there is no significant difference in the incidence of PONV. Inhaled sedation may be safe and effective for critically ill patients.

Background: Effective behavior management is vital in pediatric dentistry to ensure positive treatment in uncooperative children. General anesthesia (GA) and Inhalational sedation (IS) are some commonly used techniques, but an objective assessment tool is required to determine the most appropriate approach.
Objective: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Modified Mohan Scale in guiding the selection between GA and IS for pediatric dental patients.
Effect of transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange on the incidence of hypoxemia in sedated gastroscopy in children: a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange is a novel ventilation modality which can provide very high flow (up to 70 l/min) heated and humidified gas with adjustable temperatures (31-37 °C) and oxygen concentrations (21-100%). However its application in sedated gastroscopy in children has received little attention.
Objective: To observe transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange in sedated gastroscopy in children and its effect on the incidence of hypoxemia.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent upper airway collapse during sleep, resulting from interactions between aerodynamic forces, neuromuscular activation, and tissue properties. This study introduces a novel methodology for analyzing airway wall dynamics by incorporating acceleration-based metrics into computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to better understand the pathophysiology of airway collapse in OSA. A patient with OSA underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to capture airway anatomy and motion under sleep-like sedation.

Objectives: Describe the hemodynamic implications of anaesthetic choice among children with heart disease undergoing cardiac catheterisation.
Methods: Study 1 was a secondary analysis of data obtained during catheterisation-based hemodynamic assessment of infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome following Stage 1 palliation, randomised in the Single Ventricle Reconstruction trial. Measured and calculated hemodynamics including pulmonary and systemic vascular resistance indexed to body surface area (PVRi and SVRi respectively) and pulmonary/systemic blood flow (Qp/Qs) were analysed with respect to anaesthetic employed during catheterisation, classified as moderate sedation or general anaesthesia.

Introduction: The rapid advancement of medical technology has enabled the application of single-lumen endotracheal tube (SLET) incubation anesthesia in thoracoscopic surgeries for thoracic diseases, demonstrating promising results. This study aims to explore the application of extracorporeal circulation (ECC) and combined intravenous-inhalation anesthesia (CIIA) with SLET intubation in totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery (TTCS).
Methods: In this single-center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, we assessed primary outcomes, including intraoperative metrics and postoperative conditions.
