Peripheral nerve blocks are essential in ensuring effective regional anesthesia and postoperative analgesia in forefoot surgery for hallux valgus repair. Many factors influence the onset and duration of peripheral nerve blocks. In the advent of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, the accuracy in administering LA has significantly improved, potentially reducing the required dosage, which is also associated with less risk for toxicity. However, the effect of the concentration of LA on the onset time and duration of ultrasound-guided ankle blocks for forefoot surgery has not yet been studied. This poses a clinically relevant dilemma regarding the necessity of administering lower or higher concentrations of ropivacaine to achieve a clinically relevant faster onset time and longer duration of an ankle block.
The endoscopic surgery of the paranasal sinuses (FESS) requires careful control of arterial pressure to prevent bleeding of the nasal mucosa that may lead to a reduction in the visual field. However, controlled reversible hypotension has been associated with phenomena of peripheral hypoperfusion with possible organ damage on an ischemic basis. Based on the data available in the literature, a mean arterial pressure (MAP) target between 50 and 65 mmHg is considered acceptable. Although blood pressure control is generally ensured through intravenous pharmacological approaches, there is evidence of efficacy with the use of Auriculotherapy medical devices (stimulation of specific points in the ear through the application of Magnetic ball plasters). Proposed pharmacological choices to achieve this result have been multiple, although totally intravenous anesthesia with propofol and opioids seems to be more effective than balanced anesthesia with halogenated agents and opioids. However, this fundamental option requires the administration of antihypertensive drugs to achieve the blood pressure target. Despite common contraindications to individual pharmacological classes, various active principles have been compared. Among these, continuous low-dose nitroglycerin infusion has proven effective due to titratability linked to its short half-life, perioperative complications, and better conditions of peripheral perfusion compared to beta-blockers such as labetalol or esmolol. Based on existing literature data, in our hospital, general anesthesia is typically conducted with intravenous techniques and the continuous administration of low doses of nitroglycerin in continuous infusion (0.01-2 mcg/kg/min). Despite the low dosages, this drug can be burdened with dosage-dependent adverse effects such as orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, or headache. To reduce the dosage of nitroglycerin, we have borrowed from different contexts hypotensive auriculotherapy techniques (stimulation of specific ear points through the application of magnetic ball plasters), which have proven effective in managing systemic pressure in patients with essential hypertension. These non-pharmacological techniques, already used during general anesthesia for the management of nausea and pain, could prove promising in reducing the use of antihypertensive drugs even in the intraoperative context. The primary hypothesis of our study is that the use of Auriculotherapy medical devices is effective in achieving a hypotensive effect in patients undergoing general anesthesia during FESS surgery.

Determining the efficacy of the BIS monitor in monitoring deep hypnotic states as well as intra- and post-operative outcomes in neurosurgery patients
The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of adding a pre-emptive combined bilateral infraorbital and infratrochlear nerve blocks with bupivacaine 0.25% in decreasing intraoperative and postoperative analgesics consumption and maintaining intraoperative hemodynamic stability during nasal surgeries.
Remimazolam has demonstrated the potential as a valuable medication for procedural sedation and general anesthesia. However, half effective dose of remimazolam required to prevent cardiovascular response to tracheal intubation when combined with fentanyl in pediatric patients is still unknown.
Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) was reported to benefit the patients undergoing surgeries by reducing anesthetics consumption and decreasing anesthesia related adverse effects. Electroencephalogram (EEG) and EEG-related indicators are important indicators reflecting the conscious state of the brain, and different anesthetic drugs and anesthesia depths cause different EEG characteristic changes. The mechanism by which TEAS improves postoperative delirium (POD) is not clear, and whether changes in EEG characteristic parameters is involved needs to be further explored. Therefore, this study aims to observe the effect of TEAS at Neiguan and Shenmen acupoint on POD in elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery, and to explore the EEG related mechanism underlying TEAS improving POD.
Identification of risk factors that cause a high probability of an unfavorable outcome in the postoperative period is an urgent problem. The creation of national databases (registries) makes it possible to maximally cover a certain patient population by identifying its characteristic risk predictors. As literature data show, existing registries differ in the criteria for inclusion in the study, in the characteristics of the populations studied, and there is often no common view on the classification of postoperative outcomes. Goal of a study is a creation of a Russian national calculator for the risk of postoperative complications and mortality. Two-level observational retrospective-prospective study was planned. Setting: National multicenter study of surgical inpatients. Patients: Adult patients undergoing elective and emergency surgery. Types of interventions: in obstetrics, in gynecology, on the breast, in urology and kidneys, in endocrine surgery, in maxillofacial surgery, in orthopedics and traumatology, on the lower floor of the abdominal cavity, on the liver and biliary tract, on the upper floor of the abdominal cavity cavities, in thoracic surgery, in vascular surgery, in neurosurgery, in cardiac surgery, in other areas (with mandatory specification). The study was organized by the Federation of Anesthesiologists and Reanimatologists of Russia. Primary (30-day mortality, 30-day complications) and secondary (hospital mortality, hospital complications, length of stay in anesthesiology, resuscitation and intensive care departments, length of hospital stay, multiple organ failure (2 or more points on the SOFA scale (Sequential)) Organ Failure Assessment), 90-day mortality, 90-day complications, intensive care after-effects syndrome, readmission, 1-year mortality) outcomes were determined. The required sample size and statistical analysis methods are described. The planned duration of the study is 2024-2028.
