Retraction Note: Comparison between dexmedetomidine and remifentanil infusion in emergence agitation during recovery after nasal surgery: A randomized double-blind trial (Der Anaesthesist, (2015), 64, 10, (740-746), 10.1007/s00101-015-0077-8)

Abstract

The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding the error bars in Figs. 1 and 2, which appear to not be representative of the data due to incorrect standard deviation. The authors have provided the raw data and additional details from this trial. Further checks by the Editors have found that the raw data file contains rows of duplicated or highly similar data (except MAC values); some information and data are missing or misrepresented in the article; and the methodology of the trial appears to be inconsistent with the registered trial no. NCT02104297. The Editors-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the presented data. None of the authors have responded to any correspondence from the publisher about this retraction. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Medizin Verlag GmbH, ein Teil von Springer Nature.
