The NARCOguide algorithm calculates an EEG-derived index to monitor the hypnotic component of anaesthesia. This study evaluates the accuracy of the index calculated by NARCOguide against the Narcotrend index as a reference. Secondly, the automatic detection of burst-suppression patterns as represented by the burst suppression ratio was compared. Comparative study to assess the agreement between two medical devices. At two study centres, patient data were collected from a total of 40 adults receiving general anaesthesia or sedation with propofol. Patients underwent either general anaesthesia for oral surgery with propofol/remifentanil/rocuronium (study centre 1) or light general anaesthesia/deep sedation with propofol alone for laryngoscopic upper airway exploration (study centre 2). In a posthoc analysis, the NARCOguide index was compared with the Narcotrend index. Comparison was made after averaging over 1 min at defined clinical markers using classic linear least squares regression and Bland–Altman plots. Precision and recall for the detection of burst suppression were determined using human scoring as a reference. Data analysis showed good agreement [Bland–Altman mean difference (MD) = −2.3; limits of agreement = −27.1, to +22.4; n = 1209] and high correlation (r 2 = 0.76) between the depth of anaesthesia index calculated by NARCOguide and Narcotrend. The precision and recall of NARCOguide and Narcotrend for the detection of burst suppression were in a similar range. Over the entire dataset, the NARCOguide algorithm showed higher precision and recall than the Narcotrend algorithm (56% vs. 36% and 68% vs. 58%, respectively). The NARCOguide index can be used to monitor the hypnotic component of anaesthesia in patients undergoing general anaesthesia or sedation with propofol, with a performance similar to that of the Narcotrend index.

Game-based learning, also called edutainment, has been promoted as an alternative to the unidirectional, passive teaching of traditional medical education. Solving enigmas and problems through creativity and critical thinking, which is encapsulated in ‘escape rooms’, has been adapted to teach medicine as a way to enhance the mental models of proceeding. We considered an educational escape room as an activity to promote teaching and training in airway management, integrating knowledge, technical and nontechnical skills and collaborative teamwork during crisis situations. No published experience on this topic was found. Therefore, we created an educational escape room focused on airway management. We describe the steps undertaken from the design and development of the escape room process (as part of the curriculum of an international airway course) to the results of a survey completed by the participants at the end of the escape room process. Satisfaction with the experience was rated at least 8 points (0 to 10 numerical rating scale) by 80% of the 147 course participants. Two thirds also rated the experience as at least 8 points (0 to 10 Likert scale) as being helpful in improving behaviour in real cases, and enhance organisational teamwork skills. The airway escape room was feasible for training in airway management. Participants rated it as valuable to gain team competencies. The experience encourages further development and its possible use in other clinical settings.

Inadequately controlled postprocedural pain following sclerotherapy in patients with vascular malformations is a well recognised problem. Reliable epidemiological data and risk factors associated with postprocedural pain in children are lacking. To evaluate and quantify postprocedural pain in children and identify possible risk factors based on characteristics of the patient, treatment, and medication. A retrospective single centre cohort study. A tertiary single centre study in the Netherlands. Two hundred and nine chiuldren with ‘simple’ subtypes of congenital vascular malformation who had undergone sclerotherapy. Quantifying inadequately controlled postprocedural pain. Identifying potential patient and treatment characteristics associated with inadequately controlled postprocedural pain. A total of 209 patients who underwent 679 procedures were included in this study. The mean age at first intervention was 11.8 ± 4.5 years. Inadequately controlled postprocedural pain was found in 34.8% of the 679 procedures. Venous malformations (VM) were the most prevalent subtype of vascular malformation (80%), followed by arteriovenous malformations (AVM) (14.6%) and lymphatic malformations (LM) (5.4%). The odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence intervals), and P values obtained from multivariable mixed effect logistic regression analysis for patient and treatment characteristics found to be associated with inadequately controlled postprocedural pain were: chronic use of analgesics (OR 2.74 (1.40 to 5.34), P = 0.003), treatment with ethanol (OR 2.39 (1.01 to 5.65, P = 0.05) or esketamine (OR 7.43 (1.32 to 41.81), P = 0.02). Patients treated with lauromacrogol (OR 0.42 (0.22 to 0.82, P = 0.01) and patients receiving intra-operative NSAIDs (OR 0.32, (0.12 to 0.85), P = 0.02) were less likely to experience inadequately controlled postprocedural pain. Despite aiming to achieve best practice, the 34.8% incidence of unsatisfactory postoperative pain management in the children studied confirms that postprocedural pain after sclerotherapy is a common problem that requires further attention.
