The article “Low-dose or high-dose rocuronium reversed with neostigmine or sugammadex for cesarean delivery anesthesia: A randomized controlled non-inferiority trial of time to tracheal intubation and extubation” has just been awarded a second prize.
The Borivoj Dvoracek Prize for “the best publication in the field of anaesthesiology and perioperative medicine in 2016” was awarded in September 2017. The Dean’s Prize for “the most significant contribution to the development of clinical medicine in 2017” at the Faculty of Medicine of the Masaryk University (FM MU) was awarded in January 2018.
The article was published in Anesthesia & Analgesia. Tomáš Pavlík and Karel Hejduk from IBA MU (nowadays IBA FM MU) were among the authors. The aim of this noninferiority trial was to determine whether rocuronium and sugammadex confer benefit in time to tracheal intubation (primary outcome) and other neuromuscular blockade outcomes compared with succinylcholine, rocuronium, and neostigmine in women undergoing general anesthesia for cesarean delivery.

For the first time in history, the 16th MEFANET conference was held outside the Czech Republic in the Slovak Congress Hotel Centrum in Košice. The whole event was held in the spirit of artificial intelligence in medical education, virtual reality and there were also short presentations by regular participants about their improvement and modernization of teaching.
Over the past three years, not only has a wave of severe respiratory disease swept over virtually all of human civilization, but also a wave of vast amounts of information related to it. A new book by Václav Moravec and Ladislav Dušek deals with this phenomenon that accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic and often caused more damage than the virus alone.
