Randomized Controlled Trial
The effects of a small-dose ketamine-propofol combination on tourniquet-induced ischemia-reperfusion injury during arthroscopic knee surgery.
To determine the effects of a small-dose ketamine-propofol combination used for sedation during spinal anesthesia on tourniquet-induced ischemia-reperfusion injury. ⋯ Small-dose ketamine-propofol combination may be useful in reducing tourniquet-induced ischemia-reperfusion injury in arthroscopic knee surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Inconsistency between simultaneous blood pressure measurements in the arm, forearm, and leg in anesthetized children.
To determine the accuracy and precision of simultaneous noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurement in the arm, forearm, and ankle in anesthetized children. ⋯ Forearm and ankle NIBP measurements are unreliable and inconsistent with NIBP measured in the arm of anesthetized children. These alternative BP measurement sites are not reliable in accuracy (comparison with reference "gold" standard) and precision (reproducibility).
