Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: Nonintubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has been widely developed during the recent years. Cough reflex is an inevitably encountered problem while approaching lung lesions, and it may induce major bleeding. Sevoflurane anesthesia may attenuate cough reflex by inhibiting the pulmonary irritant receptors. However, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in inhalational anesthesia is higher than in the propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). We investigated the effect of sevoflurane combination with propofol-based TIVA on cough reflex and PONV in nonintubated VATS. Methods: Ninety patients undergoing nonintubated VATS with laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and spontaneous breathing were randomly assigned for TIVA or propofol/sevoflurane anesthesia. In the TIVA group (n = 45), anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol and fentanyl; in the propofol/sevoflurane (P/S) group (n = 45), 1% sevoflurane anesthesia was added to propofol and fentanyl anesthesia. The primary outcome measurements were cough reflex. In addition, the incidence of PONV and extubation time were investigated. Results: Patients with cough reflex were significantly fewer in the P/S group than in the TIVA group (10/45 vs 34/45; P < .001). The cough severity (35/5/5/0 vs 11/17/17/0; P < .001) and limb movement (40/5/0/0 vs 28/17/0/0; P < .001) were lower in the P/S group than in the TIVA group. Besides, incremental fentanyl bolus for cough reflex was 5 (0 [0–1]) in the P/S group and 17 (0 [0–3]) in the TIVA group (P < .05). And there was no conversion to general anesthesia, postoperative hemorrhage, aspiration pneumonia, or PONV in the 2 groups. Besides, there was no significant difference in extubation time (TIVA: 5.04 ± 2.88 vs P/S: 4.44 ± 2.98 minutes; P = .33). Conclusion: Sevoflurane attenuated cough reflex under propofol-based TIVA and did not increase the incidence of PONV and extubation time in nonintubated VATS.
