Processing electroencephalogram (EEG) monitors, such as bispectral index (BIS) monitoring to monitor patients' depth of anaesthesia, play a key role in ensuring patient safety and surgical success.[1,2] However, these systems are affected by many factors, including hypercapnia.[3,4] Understanding the effect hypercapnia on BIS correct interpretation is crucial for anaesthetists. Here, we share case sudden drop accompanied alpha beta wave dropout theta arousal density spectral array (DSA)...

Abstract Remimazolam, a gamma-aminobutyric acid subtype A receptor agonist, serves as benzodiazepine (BZD) anesthetic in monitored anesthesia care and general anesthesia. We present two cases which patients not receiving regular BZD therapy maintained consciousness following the administration of remimazolam during care. Subsequent transition to propofol infusion successfully achieved adequate sedation. Our experience indicates that efficacy may be influenced by factors other than prior use....

Breast cancer accounts for almost one quarter of all female cancers worldwide, and more than 90% those who are diagnosed with breast undergo mastectomy or conservation surgery. Local anesthetics effectively inhibit the invasion cells at concentrations that used in surgical procedures. The limited treatment options triple-negative (TNBC) demonstrate unmet clinical needs. In this study, four local anesthetics, lidocaine, levobupivacaine, bupivacaine, ropivacaine, were applied to two tumor cell...
