Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Remifentanil-propofol versus fentanyl-propofol for monitored anesthesia care during hysteroscopy.
To compare the efficacy of remifentanil-propofol with that of fentanyl-propofol for monitored anesthesia care during hysteroscopy. ⋯ Remifentanil seems to be a safe and effective analgesic adjunct for monitored anesthesia care of hysteroscopic surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Intravenous remifentanil and propofol for gastroscopy.
To evaluate the efficiency and safety of intravenous (i.v.) remifentanil and propofol for gastroscopy in healthy adults. ⋯ Intravenous remifentanil and propofol were more efficient for gastroscopy than i.v. fentanyl and propofol.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Pharmacokinetics of levobupivacaine 0.5% after superficial or combined (deep and superficial) cervical plexus block in patients undergoing minimally invasive parathyroidectomy.
To evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of 0.35 mL/kg of 0.5% levobupivacaine during superficial and combined (deep and superficial) cervical plexus block (CPB) in patients undergoing minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. ⋯ With the given dose regimen, levobupivacaine plasma concentrations were within safe ranges.

Clinical Trial
Systemic hemodynamic effects of sequential pneumatic compression of the lower limbs: a prospective study in healthy volunteers.
To evaluate the effects on systemic hemodynamics of sequential pneumatic compression of the lower limbs in healthy volunteers. ⋯ The application of sequential pneumatic compression to the lower limbs is associated with minor increases in mean arterial blood pressure, with moderate reduction of cardiac output and heart rate.
