To evaluate the potential differences in the type of anesthesia provided to patients of different race, gender, and source of payment undergoing inguinal hernia repair (IHR). ⋯ Significant discrepancies in the use of various anesthetics for IHR between patients of different race, gender, and insurance status were found. Despite limitations inherent to secondary data analysis, the findings raise the possibility that nonmedical factors may influence anesthetic management.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Prevention of withdrawal associated with the injection of rocuronium in adults and children.
To determine which technique prevents the withdrawal associated with rocuronium administration in adults and children. ⋯ Withdrawal after rocuronium can be eliminated by the pretreatment of lidocaine during the occlusion of the IV flow in adults and addition of sodium bicarbonate in children.

To evaluate the incidence and impact on clinical outcome of complications observed during high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) at interventional bronchoscopy and to identify the perioperative factors that may be associated to an increased incidence of such complications. ⋯ Classification in ASA physical status IV group and a baseline oxygen saturation of 95% or less independently predicted the development of complications during interventional rigid bronchoscopy with HFJV.
