Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of acute arterial hypertension on morphine requirements and postsurgical pain.
The study objective was to establish the impact of acute hypertension on morphine's requirements after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. ⋯ The intraoperative acute generation of mild hypertension with phenylephrine reduced postoperative morphine consumption and pain scores after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

To determine the psychometric outcomes of patients participating in an extensive patient-centered verification process before receiving sedation for regional anesthesia. ⋯ Patient perceptions of confidence and safety in regional anesthesia providers were enhanced by a preprocedural timeout process. These positive attitudes are associated with a superior perioperative experience and patient satisfaction.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A randomized, single-blinded, prospective study that compares complications between cuffed and uncuffed nasal endotracheal tubes of different sizes and brands in pediatric patients.
To compare any association between the problematic distal placement of cuffed and uncuffed nasal endotracheal tubes (NETTs) of different sizes and brands in pediatric patients. ⋯ The chances of possible complications were significantly higher with cuffed NETT. The NETT should be kept at least 0.5 cm above carina to avoid possible complications.
