BACKGROUND: Opioids are used to suppress cough during fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB). However, evidence regarding the optimal dose of remifentanil during FOB under ciprofol sedation is limited. This study aimed to investigate the effective concentrati...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of intravenous lidocaine injection on the half-maximum effective concentration (EC50) of remifentanil in preventing cough due to tracheal extubation in female patients undergoing thyroid surgery by Dixon's sequential...
BACKGROUND: Paravertebral block has similar effect as epidural anesthesia, and has good somatic and visceral analgesic effect. Paravertebral block is widely used in thoracic surgery, but rarely used in abdominal surgery.
In the target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol and remifentanil intravenous anesthesia, accurate prediction of the depth of anesthesia (DOA) is very challenging. Patients with different physiological characteristics have inconsistent pharmacodyn...

BACKGROUND Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is becoming an increasingly common method for treatment of prostate cancer. This study aimed to compare outcomes of estimated blood loss and postoperative pain, determined by patient-controlled a...
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare recovery times and respiratory complications during emergence after deep extubation using either desflurane alone or a lower concentration of desflurane with remifentanil.
PURPOSE: Percutaneous tunneling (hydrodissection) in the neck and anterior chest in patients undergoing robotic thyroidectomy leads to significant hemodynamic responses such as increases in blood pressure and heart rate. We evaluated whether a single...
Recent research has increasingly focused on using machine learning for covariate selection in population pharmacokinetics (PPK) analysis. However, few studies have explored the prediction of plasma concentration profiles of drugs using nonlinear mixe...
INTRODUCTION: Data concerning anaesthesia for endourology are rare, and options for it are numerous. Thus, identifying the optimal anaesthesia regimen remains challenging. With this study we aimed to provide the means for selecting optimal anaesthesi...
BACKGROUND: The discrepancy between predicted effect-site concentration and measured bispectral index is problematic during intravenous anesthesia with target-controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil. We hypothesized that bispectral index dur...
