Sevoflurane (Sevo) anaesthesia in children is linked to an increased incidence of postoperative emergence agitation (EA) and potential neurotoxicity in developing brains. However, the specific risks of subanaesthetic foetal or neonatal exposure to Sevo remain unclear. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of combining dexmedetomidine (Dex) with Sevo to manage EA in paediatric anaesthesia. A systematic review and meta-an...

In contrast to other seagrass meadows where seawater carbonate chemistry generally shows strong diel variations with higher pH but lower partial pressure of CO 2 ( p CO 2 ) during the daytime and lower pH but higher p CO 2 during nighttime due to the alternation in photosynthesis and respiration, the seagrass meadows of the inner lagoon (IL) on Dongsha Island had a unique diel pattern with extremely high pH and low p CO 2 acro...
