In pediatric anesthesia, minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) guides inhalational agent dosing but may not accurately reflect anesthetic depth. EEG‐guided anesthesia has shown benefits in adults but remains underused in children.

Background Emergence agitation (EA) is a common postanesthetic problem in pediatric patients, particularly with sevoflurane anesthesia, and may lead to injury to patients, prolonged postanesthesia care unit (PACU) stay, and a risk of long‐term maladaptive behavioral changes. Evidence regarding EA in nonpainful procedur...
Neuromuscular blocking agents are recommended by the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC) and European Society of Paediatric Anaesthesia (ESPA) for facilitating tracheal intubation in children. Despite these recommendations, real‐world data on how neuromuscular blocking agents are used, monito...
The journal retracts the article titled "Ketamine in acute brain injury: current opinion following cerebral circulation and electrical activity" [...].
Weaning and extubation in neurocritical care are high ‐ risk decisions complicated by impaired consciousness and airway ‐ protection challenges and practice guidance remains fragmented.
Accidental awareness during general anesthesia is multifactorial and may occur despite apparently stable physiological parameters and in the absence of neuromuscular blockade. Reliance on clinical signs alone may be insufficient to assess hypnotic depth, highlighting the importance of appropriate monitoring, vigilance,...
