Randomized Controlled Trial
Bupivacaine infiltration in children for postoperative analgesia after tonsillectomy: A randomised controlled study.
Adenotonsillectomy is a frequently performed procedure in paediatric day-case surgery. Postoperative pain can be significant and standard analgesia protocols are often insufficient. ⋯ Compared with peritonsillar infiltration, preemptive intravenous tramadol decreases the need for postoperative opioids after tonsillectomy in children without increasing the incidence of side effects.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Measurement of forces applied using a Macintosh direct laryngoscope compared with a Glidescope video laryngoscope in patients with predictors of difficult laryngoscopy: A randomised controlled trial.
Although the GlideScope videolaryngoscope reduces the force applied compared to direct Macintosh laryngoscopy, the longer duration of laryngoscopy with the GlideScope results in comparable total net force.
