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.

Influence of crystalloid and colloid replacement solutions on hemodynamic variables during acute normovolemic hemodilution.
To determine whether, in maintaining normovolemia during acute normovolemic hemodilution, replacement fluid choice influences intraoperative hemodynamic variables. ⋯ During hemodilution, anesthetized patients maintain whole body oxygenation by increasing oxygen extraction. The administration of hetastarch or dextran as the replacement fluid during acute normovolemic hemodilution is associated with a more stable mean arterial pressure, but overall acute normovolemic hemodilution is well tolerated irrespective of the replacement fluid used.
