Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Effects of different loading solutions on plasma osmolality].
As hydratation of the normal brain is much more dictated by osmotic gradients than by hydrostatic or oncotic pressures, this study aimed to compare the effect of the infusion of currently used volume loading solutions on plasma osmolality. ⋯ Both normal saline and hydroxyethylstarch 6% maintain plasma osmolality, whereas Ringer lactate tends to decrease it. For that reason normal saline and hetastarch 6% but not lactated Ringer's solution, may be administered in patients experiencing blood-brain barrier damage.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Comparative study of buprenorphine and its combination to ketoprofen or propacetamol for postoperative analgesia in urologic surgery].
To compare the analgesic effect of subcutaneous buprenorphine alone and in combination with propacetamol and ketoprofen following urologic surgery. ⋯ A combination of buprenorphine, propacetamol and ketoprofen provides effective postoperative analgesia with a low incidence of nausea and vomiting and decreased requirements of buprenorphine.
