Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Effects of droperidol dosage on postoperative emetic symptoms following pediatric strabismus surgery.
To compare the frequency of postoperative emetic symptoms and side effects in pediatric strabismus surgery using four doses of droperidol. ⋯ Prophylactic administration of droperidol 80 microg.kg(-1) is most effective in reducing postoperative emetic symptoms without increasing time to discharge. In those patients with emetic symptoms who also received prophylactic droperidol, time to discharge was significantly delayed.

To evaluate a point-of-care (POC) coagulation monitoring analyzer (CoaguChek Pro DM) in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). ⋯ CoaguChek Pro DM is a reliable and time-efficient point-of-care system for monitoring coagulation of patients undergoing CPB. The use of this system may improve patient care in this group through timely and accurate clinical decisions.
