Trends in greenhouse gas emissions from volatile anaesthetics in 41 countries: 2013–2023
Summary Introduction Inhalational anaesthetics contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, leading to regulatory restrictions in some countries. This study analysed time trends of greenhouse gas emissions directly attributable to the use of volatile anaesthetic agents in 41 countries.

Desflurane anaesthesia in myotonic dystrophy
Myotonic dystrophy (MD) is a rare genetic disorder with multisystem involvement characterised by myotonia and progressive muscle weakness and wasting. These patients pose significant challenges to the anaesthesiologist in view of the muscular and extramuscular involvement and sensitivity to anaesthetic drugs.

Summary Introduction Postoperative delirium is a common complication following cardiac surgery. Despite its known impact on patient outcomes, effective preventative strategies remain elusive. We aimed to perform a comprehensive Bayesian network meta‐analysis of randomised controlled trials assessing the effect of pharmacological interventions on the ...
