Thiopentone and ketamine vs benzodiazepines

Awareness Postoperative interview · patients with prevention of recall of events during surgery

It is very uncertain whether thiopentone and ketamine changes awareness Postoperative interview compared with benzodiazepines (diazepam, midazolam, lorazepam) (very low certainty).

Maintenance anaesthesia: inhalational vs intravenous

Nausea and vomiting ‐ subgroup analysis: thiopentone or halothane + N2O versus propofol or propofol + N2O · paediatric

Maintenance anaesthesia: inhalational may leads to higher nausea and vomiting ‐ subgroup analysis: thiopentone or halothane +… compared with intravenous (low certainty).

Pulmonary artery perfusion with blood vs no perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass

Mortality within the longest · adult surgical patients with the need for cardiopulmonary bypass‐dependent heart surgery

It is very uncertain whether pulmonary artery perfusion with blood changes all‐cause mortality within longest compared with no perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass (very low certainty).

Low tidal volume vs high tidal volume

All‐cause mortality · adults (aged > 16 years) without acute lung injury needing mechanical positive pressure ventilation during their surgery and undergoing…

Low tidal volume vs high tidal volume

Pneumonia · adults (aged > 16 years) without acute lung injury needing mechanical positive pressure ventilation during their surgery and undergoing…

Low tidal volume probably leads to lower pneumonia compared with high tidal volume (moderate certainty).
