Core Tip

Core Tip: The application of laparoscopy in gastrointestinal tumor surgery can lead to strong stress reactions, severe changes in hemodynamics, and an increased risk of postoperative adverse events. The application of transversus abdominis plane block, combined with remazolam, to treat laparoscopic tumor patients can promote more stable anesthesia, reduce hemodynamic fluctuations, and improve the quality of patient rehabilitation.
