Comparative Study
Predicting the appropriate uncuffed endotracheal tube size for children: a radiograph-based formula versus two age-based formulas.
To determine whether a radiograph-based formula using the tracheal diameter from a chest radiograph predicted the appropriate endotracheal tube (ETT) size in children, and to compare these results with those produced using age-based formulas. ⋯ The radiograph-based formula may be useful for predicting the appropriate ETT size in children aged 3 to 6 years.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of the menstrual cycle on injection pain due to rocuronium.
To investigate the effect of the menstrual cycle on rocuronium injection pain. ⋯ Menstrual cycle phases affect the severity of rocuronium injection pain. Women exhibit greater pain sensitivity from rocuronium injection in the luteal phase than the follicular phase.

Comparative Study
Analgesia after Cesarean delivery: a retrospective comparison of intrathecal hydromorphone and morphine.
To compare analgesia and opioid-related side effects of intrathecal morphine and intrathecal hydromorphone after elective Cesarean delivery. ⋯ Overall, analgesia and incidence of opioid-related side effects after 0.04 mg of intrathecal hydromorphone did not differ statistically from 0.1 mg of intrathecal morphine.

Historical Article
Training to be an historian of anesthesia: options at universities in the United States.
To determine whether a lack of training opportunities explains the finding that few anesthesia historians have obtained formal training in history. ⋯ Graduate training in history of anesthesia is currently unavailable, and specific opportunities in history of medicine are quite limited. Individuals wishing to obtain formal training in history of anesthesia need to enroll in a history of science or history of medicine program, and choose a research topic in history of anesthesia.
