Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of emergence after deep extubation using desflurane or desflurane with remifentanil in patients undergoing general anesthesia: a randomized trial.
To compare recovery times and respiratory complications during emergence after deep extubation using either desflurane alone or a lower concentration of desflurane with remifentanil. ⋯ The combined use of remifentanil while lowering the concentration of desflurane improves recovery profiles during emergence after deep extubation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of neostigmine and sugammadex for hemodynamic parameters in cardiac patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
The aim of this study is to compare the hemodynamic effects of neostigmine-atropine combination and sugammadex in patients with cardiac problems undergoing noncardiac surgery. ⋯ We suggest that sugammadex might be preferred as it provides more hemodynamic stability compared to neostigmine-atropine combination to reverse rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockage in cardiac patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.

Case Reports
Anaphylactic shock due to intravesical administration of pirarubicin hydrochloride for the fifth time.
We report the first case of anaphylaxis induced by intravesical administration of pirarubicin hydrochloride during spinal anesthesia. The patient was a 64-year-old woman being followed up for transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. ⋯ Because this is about the time that the patient is leaving the operating room, attention to patient monitoring tends to be divided. Because anaphylaxis may occur at this time, staff should remain vigilant of the risk of anaphylaxis.
