Randomized Controlled Trial
Fascia iliaca compartment block reduces emergence agitation by providing effective analgesic properties in children.
To determine whether fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) reduces emergence agitation. ⋯ In children having surgery on the thigh, FICB effectively reduced the severity of emergence agitation and postoperative pain during the immediate postoperative period.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Laryngoscope plastic blades in scheduled general anesthesia patients: a comparative randomized study.
To compare two brands of disposable plastic laryngoscope blades, Vital View plastic blades and Heine XP plastic blades, with the reusable Heine Classic+ Macintosh metal blades. ⋯ Intubation may be more challenging when using Heine XP plastic blades but no significant difference exists between Vital-View plastic blades and Heine Classic+ metal blades.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Pretreatment with small-dose ketamine reduces predicted effect-site concentration of propofol required for loss of consciousness and Laryngeal Mask Airway insertion in women.
To investigate the effect of small-dose ketamine on the predicted effect-site concentration of propofol required for loss of consciousness (LOC) and Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) insertion. ⋯ Pretreatment with ketamine 0.2 mg/kg reduced the propofol concentration required for both LOC (22%) and LMA insertion (33%) in women.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Effects of postoperative background PCA morphine infusion on pain management and related side effects in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy.
To examine the effects of background morphine infusion via patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCA) device. ⋯ A continuous background morphine infusion of 0.5 mg/hr did not lower pain intensity during movement or at rest, but induced higher pain intensity, higher opioid usage, and more complications such as vomiting, nausea, and dizziness.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Preoperative lornoxicam for pain prevention after tonsillectomy in adults.
To evaluate the efficacy of preoperative lornoxicam on postoperative pain management following tonsillectomy. ⋯ Preoperative 16 mg lornoxicam was effective for immediate postoperative pain relief after tonsillectomy in adults.
