Randomized Controlled Trial
Rapid injection of propofol reduces vascular pain and facilitates Laryngeal Mask Airway insertion.
To compare the clinical efficacy of a rapid injection of propofol in regard to pain and ability to facilitate Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) insertion. ⋯ The rapid administration of propofol reduces pain and facilitates LMA insertion versus slow administration of propofol.

There is rapidly increasing prevalence of obesity throughout Western societies and increasing numbers of patients undergoing surgery are obese. Obesity is a condition of chronic systemic inflammation and is associated with an increased burden of comorbidities. Despite traditional teaching, obesity may not be an independent risk factor for poor postoperative outcomes. The Obesity Paradox describes the observation that small amounts of excess body fat may be protective against postoperative complications.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effects of hormonal status on upper airway patency in normal female subjects during propofol anesthesia.
To determine the mechanical upper airway properties and compensatory neuromuscular responses to obstruction during propofol anesthesia in the follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle. ⋯ Menstrual phase has an effect on anatomical alterations (mechanical properties) in the hypotonic upper airway during propofol anesthesia.
