Multicenter Study Clinical Trial Observational Study
Early postoperative neuropathic pain assessed by the DN4 score predicts an increased risk of persistent postsurgical neuropathic pain.
Acute neuropathic pain can occur in the postoperative period but any link with persistent post-surgical neuropathic pain remains unclear. ⋯ Our results suggest that early acute postsurgical neuropathic pain significantly increases the risk of persistent post-surgical neuropathic pain.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Prophylactic atropine administration attenuates the negative haemodynamic effects of induction of anaesthesia with propofol and high-dose remifentanil: A randomised controlled trial.
Induction of anaesthesia with propofol and remifentanil often induces unwanted bradycardia and hypotension, raising concerns regarding tissue oxygenation. The electrophysiological cardiac effects of remifentanil can be reversed by atropine. ⋯ Administration of atropine, before induction of anaesthesia with propofol and high-dose remifentanil, can significantly reduce the decreases in HR, MAP and CI.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Intraoperative magnesium sulphate decreases agitation and pain in patients undergoing functional endoscopic surgery: A randomised double-blind study.
Postoperative agitation is harmful for the patient as it may be associated with removal of catheters, nasal packs, oxygen masks and self-injury, and pose a danger to operating theatre staff. ⋯ Intraoperative infusion of magnesium in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery reduced postoperative agitation, pethidine consumption and pain assessed in the PACU. It also decreased the length of stay in PACU compared with the control group.
