This study tested if using a special monitor to guide oxygen levels during nose surgery could prevent patients from getting too much oxygen. Too much oxygen can cause harmful 'oxidative stress' that damages cells. Researchers compared this new monitoring method to the usual appro…

This study compared two different ways to deliver anesthesia gas during kidney stone surgery. Researchers tested whether using a very low flow of gas (minimal-flow) was as safe and effective as a standard low flow. They found the minimal-flow method used significantly less anesth…

This study tested whether using anesthesia without opioids during gallbladder removal surgery could lead to better recovery. Researchers compared 101 patients who received either standard opioid-based anesthesia or an opioid-free combination of other medications. The opioid-free …

This study tested whether spraying lidocaine (a numbing medicine) into the throat before surgery could reduce sore throat afterwards, a common and bothersome side effect of anesthesia. It involved 100 adults having planned gallbladder surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to r…

This study tested whether aerobic exercise or computer-based cognitive training is better at helping people with schizophrenia. It involved 58 adults with schizophrenia who were already receiving mental health services. Researchers compared how these two different activities affe…

This study tested two different doses of a medication called tranexamic acid (TXA) to see which works better at controlling bleeding during major spinal fusion surgery. It involved 62 adults having surgery on three or more vertebrae in their mid-to-lower back. Researchers measure…

This study tested a new type of nerve block injection to see if it could better control pain after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. Fifty patients having this surgery were split into two groups: one received the new nerve block, and the other received standard pain medication. Resear…

This study tested if a specific nerve block, given before surgery, could reduce the severe pain elderly patients often feel when being positioned for spinal anesthesia for a broken hip. It also looked at whether the block helped reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers aft…

This study compared two medications given during surgery to help control pain afterwards. It involved 93 adults having bladder tumor removal under spinal anesthesia. Patients received either magnesium sulfate, dexmedetomidine, or a saline solution during their operation. The magn…

This study tested whether a specific nerve block could improve pain control after kidney transplant surgery. It involved 40 patients with kidney failure, comparing those who received the nerve block to those who did not. The goal was to see if the block reduced pain scores and th…

This study compared two different oxygen levels given to patients when waking up from anesthesia after laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Researchers monitored 60 patients to see if using 80% oxygen instead of the traditional 100% oxygen is safer and helps maintain better oxygen le…

This study aimed to better understand how schizophrenia affects a person's physical abilities and thinking skills. Researchers measured things like balance, strength, activity levels, and memory in 35 adults with a stable schizophrenia diagnosis. The goal was to gather informatio…

This study looked at whether a specific ventilator setting (called PEEP) is safe for children having brain surgery. Researchers measured pressure inside the skull in 30 pediatric patients. They found the setting did not raise brain pressure and was safe to use during these operat…
