Does deep anaesthesia reduce postoperative analgesic requirements after major urological procedures?
The results show that intraoperative deep anaesthetic levels during major urological procedures, achieved with high sevoflurane concentrations, lead to reduced postoperative analgesic requirements.
A higher baseline plasma LPS level is an independent predictor of better technique survival in new Chinese PD patients, with an insignificant trend of fewer cardiovascular events. The observation seems to conform to the phenomenon of reverse epidemiology for other traditional cardiovascular risk factors in dialysis patients but the exact reason for this paradoxical phenomenon requires further investigation.
