Randomized Controlled Trial
Dexmedetomidine reduces pain associated with rocuronium injection without causing a decrease in BIS values: a dose-response study.
To examine whether dexmedetomidine reduces the injection pain of propofol and rocuronium and to investigate whether the decrease in injection pain is associated with the known sedative action of dexmedetomidine. ⋯ Dexmedetomidine reduced pain associated with rocuronium injection in a dose-dependent manner. This effect was not associated with the decrease in BIS value.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Evaluation of a simplified augmented reality device for ultrasound-guided vascular access in a vascular phantom.
To investigate whether a novel ultrasound device may be used with a simplified augmented reality technique, and to compare this device with conventional techniques during vascular access using a vascular phantom. ⋯ During vascular access in a vascular phantom model, the novel device decreased the time and the number of redirections significantly. The device successfully improved the efficiency of the ultrasound-guided vascular access technique.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Continuous administration of landiolol reduced QT dispersion in postoperative patients.
To determine the changes in QT dispersion (QTD) in the standard electrocardiogram (ECG) of postoperative patients and the effect of landiolol on QTD. ⋯ Continuous administration of landiolol prevents the increase in QTD found on the morning in postoperative patients. Landiolol demonstrated a possible antiarrhythmic effect by improving the imbalance of repolarization.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Does the type of anesthetic agent affect remifentanil effect-site concentration for preventing endotracheal tube-induced cough during anesthetic emergence? Comparison of propofol, sevoflurane, and desflurane.
To investigate whether the type of anesthetic agent administered affects the antitussive effect of remifentanil. ⋯ Remifentanil administration for cough suppression during emergence should be customized to the anesthetic agent.
