IV esketamine and emergence delirium

In children undergoing adenotonsillectomy, intra-operative low-dose IV esketamine significantly reduced emergence delirium and negative behavioural changes without increasing adverse events.

Who's using esketamine?

How do you do a TIVA RSI?

Anaesthesia @anaesjournal.bsky.social · 7d

"... a ‘RSI–TCI’ mode with a pre-programmed manual bolus offers a pragmatic solution for those who wish to preserve an intact pharmacokinetic model for accurate propofol delivery, while allowing the rapid induction clinicians expect from a manual bolus."

Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) for rapid sequence induction (RSI)

Worried your TIVA infusion is too slow for RSI?

Why not work with your local manufacturer to develop an ‘RSI-TCI’ mode for your target-controlled infusion pumps?

Hypnosis & anaesthesia

Despite 142 identified studies describing 9238 patients, of which 59 were RCTs, the overall quality of the retrieved studies was weak and the level of evidence of the impact of hypnosis in this setting ranges from absent to moderate.
