Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of low versus high tidal volume ventilation on inflammatory markers in healthy individuals undergoing posterior spine fusion in the prone position: a randomized controlled trial.
To evaluate the effect of ventilation strategy on markers of inflammation in patients undergoing spine surgery in the prone position. ⋯ Although markers of inflammation are increased after posterior spine fusion surgery, ventilation strategy has minimal impact on markers of systemic inflammation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Use of sugammadex in patients with a history of pulmonary disease.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of sugammadex for reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade in patients with pulmonary disease. ⋯ Sugammadex 2 mg/kg and 4 mg/kg were well tolerated and effective in patients with a history of pulmonary disease. Bronchospasm is a possibility when administering sugammadex to patients with underlying pulmonary disease.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Prevention of propofol-induced pain in children: pretreatment with small doses of ketamine.
To evaluate the efficacy of ketamine in preventing propofol injection pain in children. ⋯ Pretreatment with a small dose of ketamine (0.3 mg/kg) reduced the frequency and intensity of propofol injection pain without severe adverse effects.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Reliability of assessment of nasal flow rate for nostril selection during nasotracheal intubation.
To evaluate the reliability of assessments of nasal flow rate for improved nostril selection for nasotracheal intubation. ⋯ Measurement of nasal flow rate is a useful clinical method for choosing a nostril for nasotracheal intubation.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Bilateral multi-injection iliohypogastric-ilioinguinal nerve block in conjunction with neuraxial morphine is superior to neuraxial morphine alone for postcesarean analgesia.
To determine whether bilateral iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal (IHII) peripheral nerve blocks, given in conjunction with neuraxial morphine, reduce postcesarean analgesic requirements and side effects, resulting in improved maternal satisfaction. ⋯ Bilateral multilevel injection IHII nerve blocks result in lower resting VAS pain scores, lower analgesic requirements, and greater satisfaction following cesarean delivery in patients who received neuraxial morphine.
