Randomized Controlled Trial
The frequency of fentanyl-induced cough in children and its effects on tracheal intubation.
To determine if fentanyl-induced cough was dose-dependent in children and whether it could affect tracheal intubation. ⋯ Fentanyl at doses of one and two microg/kg may induce coughing in pediatric patients.

To evaluate the incidence of perioperative minor adverse events and to analyze patient satisfaction based on potential explanatory variables. ⋯ Minor events occur with a surprisingly high incidence and are significantly associated with patient dissatisfaction. Regional anesthesia is associated with fewer patient complaints and significantly higher postoperative patient satisfaction.

Case Reports
Clinical course of pain in a patient with neuropathic pain induced by ligation of an intercostal nerve.
A patient with severe right chest pain and mechanical allodynia induced by an intercostal drainage tube to his chest is presented. It was not relieved by treatment with diclofenac sodium and was worsened by movement and touch to the right chest wall. Mechanical allodynia was also present. The patient's wrenching pain disappeared immediately after stitch removal, but the dull pain and mechanical allodynia persisted, gradually decreasing to zero in 7 days.

To investigate factors affecting parental satisfaction with a pediatric sedation service in a university hospital setting. ⋯ Overall satisfaction was high, and care provided by anesthesiologists was significantly associated with overall satisfaction. A site in our institution was associated with significantly lower satisfaction as a result of inadequate space and privacy.
