Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of deep neuromuscular blockade on serum cytokines and postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing total hip replacement: A prospective single-blind randomised controlled trial.
Deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) may reduce muscle injury and related inflammation. The inflammation is one of the pathophysiological processes of peri-operative complications. ⋯ Our findings suggest that inflammation related to peri-operative complications could be associated with the depth of NMB during total hip replacement. However, the incidence of POD might not be associated to the depth of NMB.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Intravenously injected lidocaine or magnesium improves the quality of early recovery after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A randomised controlled trial.
Previous data show that lidocaine or magnesium has unique characteristics of stress inhibition and antiinflammation. ⋯ The results show that magnesium sulphate improved the QoR through improving physical comfort and physical independence in patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, lidocaine had limited effects on QoR under current conditions.

Observational Study
Peri-operative swelling of fingers: A prospective observational study.
In most Dutch hospitals, because of putative peri-operative swelling of the fingers, patients must remove rings before entering the operating theatre. If this proves impossible, destructive methods for removal may be required. For some patients, this might be too radical, as the risk of wearing rings may not be in proportion to the economic and emotional damage to the patient. ⋯ Peri-operative swelling of fingers is a common phenomenon, which is related to the extent of the surgical procedure.
